Twins Trade INF Edouard Julien and RHP Pierson Ohl for RHP Jace Kaminska

Today the Minnesota Twins announced they traded INF Edouard Julien and RHP Pierson Ohl for RHP Jace Kaminska and Cash Considerations. Kaminska, 24, missed the entirety of the 2025 season due to Tommy John surgery, but had a great season for Low-A Fresno in 2024 recording a 2.78 ERA in 87 1/3 innings of work while striking out 10.7/9IP. Kaminska was drafted in the 10th round of the 2023 MLB Draft out of the University of Nebraska where he had a 4.13 ERA over 15 starts for the Cornhuskers, so

Rockies sign Former Twins Utility Man Willi Castro to a 2-year Deal.

Today it was reported that the Colorado Rockies have signed UTL Willi Castro to a 2-year deal worth $12.8 Million dollars. Castro was traded to the Chicago Cubs during the Twins infamous 2025 Trade Deadline for two pitching prospects in Ryan Gallagher and Sam Armstrong. Castro struggled immensely in the 2nd half batting only .161 with a -0.5 WAR. It got so bad that he was even left out of the Cubs 2025 Playoff roster. Castro is looking to have a much needed bounce back season with the Rockies an

Twins DFA UTL Mickey Gasper, Claim INF Vidal Brujan off Waivers.

Today the Minnesota Twins announced that they have designated utility man Mickey Gasper for assignment and claimed infielder Vidal Brujan from the Braves. Gasper was acquired in a trade with the Red Sox last year that sent LHP Jovoni Moran to the Red Sox in exchange for UTL Mickey Gasper.  Most Twins fans didn't care much for the trade considering Moran didn't pitch with the big league club in 2024 and that Gasper was a rookie at 29 and didn't record a hit in his 18 at-bats in 2024. Gasper looke

Byron Buxton to Play for Team USA in the 2026 World Baseball Classic

Today it was announced that Twins slugger Byron Buxton will join Team USA in the 2026 World Baseball Classic. Buxton joins an already stacked Outfield with Corbin Carroll (AZ) Pete Crow-Armstrong (CHC) Aaron Judge (NYY) and Kyle Schwarber (PHI). As of right now there is no confirmed starting roster but if I was Team USA Manager Mark DeRosa, I would put the Outfield together like this - LF Corbin Carroll CF Byron Buxton RF Aaron Judge DH Kyle Schwarber with Pete Crow-Armstrong on the bench.

3 Twins Prospects to be Excited About in 2026

While the Twins had their worst season in almost a decade in 2025, they have a much brighter future than they did back then. With many talented prospects either acquired from trades or home-grown’s emerging as potential play-makers. These 3 prospects intrigue me the most though as a Twins fan. 1. Walker Jenkins To start this out you have to mention Walker Jenkins, the 2023 High School draftee from South Brunswick HS, North Carolina, Jenkins is a very exciting prospect for the Minnesota

What to make of Orlando Arcia and the Eric Wagaman moves.

On Friday the Twins went out and struck a deal with the Miami Marlins trading LHP Kade Bragg for 1B Eric Wagaman. Wagaman who just completed his rookie season at age 28 is a solid backup for the Twins for 2026, Wagaman doesn't hit for power, or average really. But having him on the bench is better than not having a backup. Kade Bragg, the return for Miami was drafted by the Twins in the 17th round of the 2023 Draft out of Angelo State University. Bragg had a very solid season out of the pen for
