The 2021 Minnesota Twins season was the 61st season for the Minnesota Twins franchise in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, their 12th season at Target Field and the 121st overall in the American League. The Twins were favored to win the American League Central for the third straight season, and hopes were high that they would break their American sports-leading 18 straight postseason losses. However, due to injuries to players such as superstar center fielder Byron Buxton, the Twins had a poor season, falling from first place in the AL Central the previous two seasons to last in 2021 with a 73–89 record and missing the postseason for the first time since 2018.
