How about an intimate holiday gathering with … Michael Cuddyer? Joe Nathan? Scott Erickson? These are just a few of the special guests at past Twins Daily’s Winter Meltdown, and this year we’ll be in a gorgeous venue where everyone can see & hear the stage. Plus, you can buy presale tickets for just $25 (regular $40) through 12/25 (or until we run out). We are offering this quietly, to people that visit the site in the dead of winter.

Happy Holidays Twins fans! Maybe you’re a bit down this year due to the team’s inability to land any big names this offseason? Worry not, you’ve been good this year so today I give you the gift of any player you want from another AL Central club.

The Twins continued to address their bullpen on Friday with the announcement that they have signed veteran right-handed reliever Tyler Clippard to a one-year deal. In addition, the Sergio Romo signing was confirmed.

With the winter meetings over and the pickings for free agent talent growing slim, it appears that the Twins need some help in landing players. They have a playoff roster and money to spare yet are finding no takers. Clearly, they need some curb appeal. Here are some suggestions for turning this whole thing around.

We are single-digit days away from Christmas. If you’re anything like me, you’re also scrambling last minute to get the rest of your presents purchased, wrapped, and placed under the tree. However, the same cannot be said for the free agent market for outfielders.

This has been one absolutely crazy offseason so far. Teams that don’t usually shell out money have done exactly that and some of the strangest trades have occurred (Corey Kluber to the Rangers, though?). But in all of this change there is something that has anchored us back in the reality of the offseason; the Twins continue to come up short when it comes to acquiring impact talent

The Minnesota Twins set the major league single-season record for home runs by a team in 2019. They earned the nickname “Bomba Squad,” and were propelled by big time bats like Miguel Sano and Nelson Cruz. Rocco Badelli’s club bashed their way into the Postseason, but there was one guy who broke the mold. Enter Luis Arraez.

Wesley Wright spent 15 years as a pitcher in professional baseball including parts of eight seasons in the big leagues. Upon his retirement, he stayed in the game and was given an opportunity with the Minnesota Twins pro scouting department. Get to know him.

With free agents flying off the board, the Twins' front office could be left searching for other options, like trading for another starting pitcher. Minnesota has some depth in the farm system to make a deal, but if other clubs aren’t willing to trade, the Twins could be left to trust internal starting pitching options.

There has been constant talk this offseason about adding impact players to improve from 2019 a 100-win team. Obviously that is necessary in order to keep getting better but today I’ll name three players that could play the largest roles in repeating last season’s success.

Before signing a two-year pact with the Toronto Blue Jays, Darren Wolfson reported the Twins were interested in right-handed pitcher Shun Yamaguchi from Japan. After signing for an average annual value (AAV) of just $3 million, it’s fair to wonder why the Twins didn’t press harder.

Back at the July 31st trade deadline Star Tribune beat writer LaVelle E. Neal keyed in on the talks had between the New York Mets and the Minnesota Twins. Names like Noah Syndergaard and Byron Buxton were tossed around, but nothing came to fruition. What happens if a blockbuster is the avenue to impact pitching this winter?
