Is Jorge Lopez Back?

Is Jorge Lopez Back?

Last year the Minnesota Twins made a much-needed trade to acquire All-Star closer Jorge Lopez. He was having an excellent year when the Twins acquired him for two pitching prospects, Cade Povich and Yennier Cano. Lopez had a 1.68 ERA with 48.1 IP which led him to the All-Star game. The Twin's bullpen was not great, so they decided to make a trade to bring him in to bolster the pen. Lopez’s first two months as a Twin were not great. He had a 4.37 ERA across 23 innings pitched and his walk rate wa
The Downfall of Byung-Ho Park

The Downfall of Byung-Ho Park

When the Minnesota Twins signed Korean slugger Byung-Ho Park, fans believed he was the next "big thing" and that he was the player they needed to compete. But what happened to Byung-Ho Park?  Park was a huge superstar in the Korean Baseball Organization with the Nexen Heroes. In five seasons with the Heroes, Park led the KBO in home runs five times, RBIs four times, slugging percentage twice, a 2X MVP of the KBO, and was a five-time Gold Glove winner. In the KBO, Park had two consecutive se
Minnesota Twins Mount Rushmore

Minnesota Twins Mount Rushmore

Deciding the "Mount Rushmore" of any sports franchise can be hard to do. Most franchises have many great players who are deserving. Here are the four who make up my Minnesota Twins Mount Rushmore. Harmon Killebrew Killebrew played for the Twins from 1954-1974. He was a 13-time All-Star, won the American League MVP award in 1969, and finished his career with 573 home runs. He currently sits at 12th in all-time home runs. With the Twins, Killebrew hit .256/.376/.509 with 559 home runs,
Joe Ryan's impact on the future

Joe Ryan's impact on the future

The Nelson Cruz for Joe Ryan trade should benefit the Twins for many years to come. This trade will give the Twins a quality pitcher for years, while only having to give up a 40-year-old Cruz whose career is on the decline. In return, the Twins acquired a player whose career is just getting started and will help the Twins compete for years to come. Twins fans were sad to see fan-favorite, Nelson Cruz, get traded to Tampa Bay at the 2021 trade deadline. Cruz was a part of the 2019 Bomba Squa
2023 first base outlook

Twins 1B outlook for 2023

What can we expect the Twins first base situation to look like this year? Right now the Minnesota Twins have two first basemen on the depth chart. Those two players are Alex Kirilloff and Jose Miranda. On opening day we can expect to see Kirilloff at first but with his health always being a concern, the Twins should be looking into alternative options for this upcoming season. I believe that there will be some in-house choices and a free-agency option for the Twins. In-house options
