New food at Target Field in 2025: Vinai, pickle pizza and more
home opener
at Target Field.
From walleye tacos and SPAM sandwiches to boba tea and cookies, Target Field will have options for everyone.
Most people come to the ballpark for a classic — the hot dog and brat. New this year, Kramarczuk's is doing a brat sampler of smaller portions with a variety of flavored meats.
"I know it doesn't look like I've had a Kramarczuk's bratwurst before, but I haven't and I'll be honest with you, best thing I've had at the Taste of the Twins, all day," said Adam "Crisco" Zalusky, radio host at KS95.
Target Field's main concourse will also have two new marketplace-style concession areas, where fans walk up and grab the food of their choice, from burgers, hot dogs, cheese curds, nachos and more. Then they take it to a self-serve scanner to make their purchase.
Union Hmong Kitchen and Vinai owner and head chef, Yia Vang, has a new home at Target Field this year. You can find him in the Truly on Deck bar serving up sweet and sour pork. This is his fourth season partnering with the Twins, and he says he's thankful for a team that's investing back into the community.
"It's always really fun when we meet people and they're like, 'We haven't been to the restaurant yet, but we tried the food at the baseball stadium,' so that means a lot. It's like an extension of our arm that has all these different reaches," Vang said.
The Twins are also bringing back the Family Value Stands featuring food priced under $5.
Fans who purchase tickets for Legends Landing – sections S, T, U and V) get access to an all-you-can-eat "ballpark fare experience," according to the Twins.

Joe Ryan ‘would like to stay' with Twins; Derek Falvey talks trade deadline plans
MINNEAPOLIS — Saturday's loss to the Washington Nationals was Joe Ryan's final start before the July 31 trade deadline, and it also could have been the All-Star's last start in a Minnesota Twins uniform. But as rumors swirl around the highly sought-after right-hander who ranks No. 1 on The Athletic's trade deadline big board, Ryan downplayed his odds of being traded and expressed a desire to stay in Minnesota with two years of team control remaining beyond this one. Advertisement 'As far as a trade goes, I don't see it happening,' Ryan said. 'At the same time, it's completely out of my hands, so I really haven't thought about it much. I think we have a good opportunity, years forward, to do something here, so I would like to stay. But like I said, it's out of my control.' Ryan is 10-5 with a 2.82 ERA and 137-to-24 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 121 1/3 innings this season, and the 29-year-old has a career 3.70 ERA over 591 2/3 innings for the Twins since debuting in late 2021. His combination of front-line performance and team control through 2027 makes him very valuable. Of course, those same traits are why the Twins would seemingly need to be blown away by an offer to even consider moving Ryan, who is earning just $3 million this season and figures to make less than $10 million in 2026 via arbitration. But contenders are calling the Twins about Ryan just in case. 'I've obviously seen some of the media side about it,' Ryan said of deadline chatter. 'It hasn't really been a huge topic of discussion (in the clubhouse). People aren't freaking out about anything. Just play baseball and focus on what we can control. And the front office will take care of the rest of that.' That's just the Joe Ryan Experience, baby! — Minnesota Twins (@Twins) July 16, 2025 As for the front office, Twins president Derek Falvey indicated Sunday that the conversations with other teams are still largely in the feeling-out stage, perhaps a result of MLB's expanded playoff field leading to fewer clear-cut sellers and more fence-sitting wild-card hopefuls. 'There are a lot of discussions, don't get me wrong,' Falvey said. 'There are a lot of calls back and forth. But in terms of actual proposals and offers, this stuff tends to come as you get much closer to the deadline. In some of these conversations, they're not advanced yet, because it's just timing.' Advertisement But with only three games left until the trade deadline, the Twins have a 50-55 record that puts them 11th in the 15-team American League and sits eighth in line for three wild-card spots. It also ensures they'll have a losing record on deadline day, which typically leads to a team being sellers. Ryan might be correct that he's unlikely to be traded, but the Twins have six impending free agents who could be cashed in for some future value as two-month rentals instead of leaving for nothing this winter, including solid role players Harrison Bader, Willi Castro, Chris Paddack and Danny Coulombe. High-end relievers Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax and Brock Stewart are team controlled through 2027, just like Ryan. But there's a growing sense around the league that one or more of the Twins' late-inning bullpen arms could be gettable — or at least more gettable than Ryan — with a big enough offer. 'The job is to evaluate what comes our way and navigate in any direction possible,' Falvey said. 'We still feel like there's a lot of talent on this roster. I've never considered a label on what we do here. And that's going to be our deadline every year. Quite frankly, I've never pivoted from that.' Jhoan Duran's full entrance because it's fun at night — CJ Fogler 🫡 (@cjzero) July 12, 2025 Nearly everything points to the Twins being sellers at the deadline, to some degree. They're below .500, with playoff odds under 15 percent, and there's little reason to think a strong stretch-run push is doable for a team with an AL-worst 19-29 record since June 1 and a 74-88 record in its last 162 games. Worse, their rotation is running on fumes. Pablo López isn't expected back from a shoulder strain for several weeks, David Festa just joined him on the injured list with shoulder problems of his own, and no one can be sure what to expect from Bailey Ober's imminent return after a brutal June. Advertisement And if those aren't enough reasons to write off the slim possibility of a late-season surge into the playoffs, Byron Buxton was removed from Saturday's game with left side soreness and sat out Sunday's loss to the Nationals after an MRI showed rib cartilage irritation. He's considered day to day. On the other hand, selling would all but guarantee missing the playoffs for the fourth time in five seasons. And the uncertain ownership situation also looms over everything, making it tough to plan for the future without even knowing who will be in charge or whether they'll retain the Falvey-led front office. 'We never have an eye on just one season,' Falvey said. 'We try to think about, in this case, what's it mean for 2025? What's it mean for 2026, 2027, 2028? We're going to approach it exactly the same way and continue to try to figure out what the right deals are for the Twins, short- and long-term.' (Photo of Joe Ryan: Justin Edmonds / Getty Images)

Twins rumors: Minnesota's ‘expected' Joe Ryan trade stance ahead of deadline
The post Twins rumors: Minnesota's 'expected' Joe Ryan trade stance ahead of deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Minnesota Twins are reportedly open to listening to trade offers for Joe Ryan but are expected to keep the All-Star right-hander through the July 31 MLB trade deadline, according to reporting from USA Today's Bob Nightengale. Ryan, 29, had drawn interest from teams like the Boston Red Sox, who are looking to bolster their starting rotations ahead of the stretch run. However, as The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported, 'I don't know that the Twins are going to want to trade Joe Ryan. And that's the key thing here.' The 2024 All-Star is in the midst of a breakout season. Through 19 starts, Ryan owned a 9-4 record with a 2.72 ERA, 121 strikeouts and a 0.91 WHIP across 109 1/3 innings. His ERA was the best by a Twins starter at the All-Star break since Johan Santana in 2007. He pitched a scoreless inning in the Midsummer Classic on Tuesday, striking out two. Beyond performance, Ryan's value is amplified by his contract status. He's earning just $3 million this season and remains under team control through 2027, with two more arbitration years remaining, per Mike Rosenstein of NESN. That combination of production and affordability makes him a highly attractive trade chip, but also a reason the Twins are hesitant to move him. Minnesota sits second in the AL Central and just a few games back in the AL Wild Card standings. With multiple pitchers injured — Pablo López, Bailey Ober, and Zebby Matthews among them — Ryan has anchored a depleted rotation, throwing at least five innings in every start and allowing two runs or fewer in more than half. Unless overwhelmed by a impossible-to-pass-up trade offer, Minnesota is expected to keep Ryan as part of its postseason push and long-term plans. The Twins may even look to add reinforcements rather than subtract from their rotation.

Twins' Byron Buxton destroys Shohei Ohtani right away with monster HR vs. Dodgers
The post Twins' Byron Buxton destroys Shohei Ohtani right away with monster HR vs. Dodgers appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Minnesota Twins wasted no time making noise against the Los Angeles Dodgers Monday night, as leadoff hitter Byron Buxton launched an electrifying solo home run off Shohei Ohtani to start the night with a bang. In what many were calling a heavyweight All-Star rematch, Buxton delivered the first blow—crushing Ohtani's second pitch of the game 410 feet into the left-center stands. The moment was both stunning and historic. Buxton's blast off the Dodgers ace clocked in with a 104.8 mph exit velocity and marked the first home run surrendered by the two-way phenom in his comeback season from Tommy John surgery. MLB wasted no time sharing the jaw-dropping clip on it's official X (formerly known as Twitter), capturing the center fielder's instant fireworks. 'CRUSHED 💥 Byron Buxton demolishes the second pitch he sees from Shohei Ohtani!' Buxton's shot wasn't just an early momentum-shifter—it also marked a significant milestone, as The Athletic's Dan Hayes pointed out. 'Byron Buxton now tied with Max Kepler for the third-most leadoff home runs in #MNTwins history (15), moving him past Chuck Knoblauch.' The blast was his 23rd of the season and sixth leadoff shot in 2025, underscoring his importance to a Twins offense battling to stay in the AL Wild Card race. The homer propelled Buxton into elite company within the organization, now tied with Max Kepler and trailing only Brian Dozier (28) and Jacque Jones (20) in franchise history for most leadoff bombs. Buxton, currently slashing .289 with 23 home runs and 57 RBIs, continues to prove he's among the most dangerous leadoff hitters in the American League. His early-game power has set the tone repeatedly for a Twins squad striving for consistency. Ironically, Ohtani, who had yet to allow a homer this year across five starts, responded in the bottom of the first with a titanic 441-foot two-run homer of his own. The dual-threat superstar flipped the score to 2-1, showing yet again why he's baseball's ultimate unicorn. Still, the 11-year veteran's lead-off bomb has been the statement of the night so far for Minnesota. The Twins vs. Dodgers showdown is living up to its billing—a duel filled with stars, drama, and milestone moments. Entering the game, the Twins are 48-51 on the season, tied with the Kansas City Royals for fourth place in the AL Central and sitting just one game behind the third-place Cleveland Guardians. The Detroit Tigers hold the top spot with a record of 60-41, while the Chicago White Sox remain buried in last place with a record of 36-65. As the Twins leadoff hitter, Buxton is not just making noise—he's rewriting history. With postseason hopes in reach, Minnesota may go as far as their No. 1 spark plug can take them.
