The Twins may have a new television home — they left FanDuel Sports Network North (formerly Bally Sports North) following the 2024 season for Twins.TV — but they plan to keep their broadcast team relatively unchanged.

A day after analyst Roy Smalley announced on social media that he would not be returning for the 2025 season, the Twins released the full group of broadcasters who would call their games, a list that looks similar to last year’s group.

Cory Provus will handle the television play-by-play for the second straight season and will be joined by a cast of former players, led by Justin Morneau, who will serve as the team’s main analyst. LaTroy Hawkins, Glen Perkins, Trevor Plouffe and Denard Span will also join Provus in the booth throughout the season.

Longtime reporter Audra Martin will reprise her role, as will pre- and postgame host Katie Storm and analyst Tim Laudner.

“With Twins fans now able to watch our games where, when and how they choose, we are thrilled to deliver an incredibly talented broadcast team that is among the very best in baseball,” Twins president and CEO Dave St. Peter said in a release. “This group’s collective storytelling skill, analytic insight and relatability will continue entertaining fans and elevating our overall production as we enter an exciting and unprecedented era of Twins broadcast coverage.”

The Twins announced earlier this offseason that Major League Baseball would produce and distribute their local games for the upcoming season, a move which will give fans the option for a long-asked-about, direct-to-consumer streaming option. More information, including pricing for Twins.TV and the full broadcast schedule, is expected later this offseason.
