# 2023 Minnesota Twins season

The 2023 Minnesota Twins season was the 63rd season for the Minnesota Twins franchise in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, their 14th season at Target Field, and the 123rd overall in the American League. The Twins drew an average home attendance of 24,371 in 81 home games in the 2023 MLB season. The total attendance was 1,974,124.
With a shutout win over the Chicago White Sox on September 17, the Twins improved on their 78–84 record from the 2022 season. After a 8–6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on September 22, the Twins clinched their first American League Central title and playoff appearance since the 2020 season. They defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in two games in the ALWCS. Their game 1 victory was their first playoff win since 2004, snapping an 18 game playoff losing streak. Their series victory was their first since 2002. However, they were defeated by the Houston Astros in the ALDS in four games.

## Offseason
### Rule changes

Pursuant to the CBA, new rule changes were in place with the start of the 2023 season:
* institution of a pitch clock between pitches;
* limits on pickoff attempts per plate appearance;
* limits on defensive shifts requiring two infielders to be on either side of second and be within the boundary of the infield; and
* larger bases (increased to 18-inch squares);

### New uniforms

On November 18, 2022, the team unveiled its first complete uniform redesign since 1987. Along with the 4 brand new uniform designs, the team unveiled an altered "TC" logo and an "M" logo featuring a red North Star.
