Twins Daily's Community Awards: 2025 MLB Season

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hello again, Twins fans! Twice a year, I sit down and find the most popular posts and blogs on Twins Daily, and their creators receive prizes for their contributions to the sprawling behemoth that is Twins Daily. While the 2025 Twins season was quite the disappointment, many of you stuck it out through a difficult summer of bad baseball. We look at the most popular posts and blogs created by our users.

Let's dive into the most popular content of the 2025 MLB season.

Most Popular Post
Both our most popular post and the runner-up post came from the same topic in 2025: the day after deadline day. As Twins fans were reeling from an inexplicable deadline rush, fans clamored to figure out what was going on at 1 Twins Way. The most popular post of the entire season was @ashbury, and yet another of his generally level-headed takes on the deadline.

For this well-liked post, you win an autographed bat from former Twin Kyle Lohse! Is this the bat Kyle used to bash in Twins manager Ron Gardenhire's door back in the mid-2000s? I'd like to think it is. Please private message @Brock Beauchamp with your address so I can ship this fun prize to you!

Also, you have no idea how long it took me to find an autographed Kyle Lohse bat.

Most Popular Post Runner-Up
Coming from the same topic as the most popular post is @CarpetGuy's desire to see the Twins play more like the Milwaukee Brewers, a common refrain in Twins Territory after the Brew Crew annihilated the Twins in their mid-summer matchup. Thank you for your contribution, CarpetGuy!

Most Popular Blog Post
In early July, Twins fans were largely split on what course the team should take at the trade deadline. By the end of July, the answer was obvious. But on July 4, @LA VIkes Fan wrote up a convincing blog post that the team should be playing for 2026 and beyond, outlining the deadline they'd like to see the Twins take at the end of the month.

For this well-liked post, you win this box of 1987 Topps cards! Please private message @Brock Beauchamp with your address so I can ship this fun prize to you!

Most Popular Blog Post Runner-Up
This is the shortest blog post to ever make this list, but it's a good one. While attending a high school baseball game in North Carolina, @tarheeltwinsfan met Luke Napleton, whom the Minnesota Twins had just signed. Napleton ended up playing 26 games across Single-A and High-A in 2025. Thanks for the entry on this nice little interaction with a ballplayer, tarheeltwinsfan!

Most Prolific Poster
We always like to hat-tip the poster who earned the most reputation points, which are given based on the number of posts, how many users liked that content, and other metrics. It's always fun to welcome a new face to this award, and in the 2025 season, it was @Patzky! Thanks for being such a great contributor to Twins Daily!

Prolific Players Project Poster
This is a new category and one I want to bring a lot of attention to, as the Players Project (as far as I know) is a feature entirely unique to Twins Daily. It's a wiki-style project that allows every Twins Daily user to create and edit pages for their favorite Twins players, past and present, and create a working repository of information, videos, and much more for every player to don a Twins uniform.

@William Malone continues to be a Players Project machine, and for that they are now proud owners of this very cool Dave Winfield autographed baseball! William, private message @Brock Beauchamp and let me know your mailing address!

Why Dave Winfield? Because William created the Dave Winfield page, naturally.

That's all for this season, folks. Give a round of applause to all of those mentioned in this piece and here's to a successful offseason for the Twins!

Good choices.  Congrats to the winners.

This community makes Twins baseball such an enjoyable pastime! Thanks to everyone who has shared a laugh, an opinion, and their expertise in everything from pinch hitting Manny Margot to how to boil corn (eeww on both).

[tarheeltwinsfan]

Thank you Brock. The TD community brings a lot of joy to me. I wish I lived closer to Minneapolis so I could be more involved with the TD writers and TD posters and our favorite team, through all its ups and downs, no matter what, the Minnesota Twins. 

[Matthew Trueblood]

Thanks to all of you for being here with us! Brock, as always, nice job finding fun stuff to send to the winners. 😀

I was robbed.

Excellent work everyone! And well done Brock and company, you do a great job keeping people engaged despite, well...... that's for the other threads.

We've got a great community here.

[ashbury]

Wow, what a nice surprise! I try to click "Like" more frequently than I receive them myself, and I hope others follow a similar practice. The old political joke, "vote early, vote often!" is actually great advice at TD - the Like button is an important part of community-building and I feel its absence at other websites I haunt. (Then again, I can't explain Facebook.)

[USAFChief]

Congrats all!

You should change your handle to ‘Louvre.’

Lee Louvre, left-handed reliever of dubious abilities, can't be trusted to lock down the game.

Nah, I didn’t do the heist, and if I had, I would not be posting about it here. I’d be using the proceeds to buy the team.
