We all expect something and we are all watching and waiting for news. We've seen players moving around on other teams and still nothing for our Twins. It's fun to snoop around and dream about superstars showing up in Minnesota b...3979Tue, 28 Jul 2015 10:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/that39s-the-ticket-the-bucs-stop-here-r3977/This week's short series against the Pirates at Target Field has a little bit of everything: a rarely seen interleague opponent with one of the game's biggest stars, an old friend taking the hill on Wednesday, and plenty of drama as two teams in the thick of the wild card race face off with the tr...3977Tue, 28 Jul 2015 01:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/pitchers-hesitant-to-challenge-the-patient-sano-r3975/It’s hard to envision Miguel Sano rewarding the Twins any more than he has through 18 big league games. The 22 year old has hit .283/.405/.517 in 74 plate appearances, and eight of his 17 hits have gone for extra bases. Strikeouts were always going to be an issue in the short term, and that’s held...3975Tue, 28 Jul 2015 00:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/torii-hunter-continues-to-climb-list-of-all-time-great-twins-r3974/Over the weekend, outfielder Torii Hunter hit his 207th and 208th home run in a Minnesota Twins uniform. In doing so, he tied and then surpassed his mentor Kirby Puckett on the all-time Twins list. Throughout this season, Hunter has passed some Twins greats in many all-time categories. At some poi...3974Mon, 27 Jul 2015 18:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/baseball-and-the-clock-r3971/After regularly commenting on the 2013 Twins season, I stayed away from the blog while I put life's little bits together into something that resembled the picture on the puzzle box. Now, with Roy C. Booth and my novel Orphans published and ready to scare everyone senselessly, I finally have time t...3971Mon, 27 Jul 2015 13:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/episode-206-calm-before-the-trade-storm-r3973/Aaron and John talk about the Twins' ugly series loss to the Yankees, trade deadline targets big and small, Trevor May moving into a setup role, Byron Buxton being out longer than expected, Johnny Cueto coming to the AL Central, why Danny Santana is getting so much leeway, Yankees-loving girlfrien...3973Mon, 27 Jul 2015 00:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-kick-baltimore-tires-r3969/The Twins have been busily working the phones in advance of next Friday’s trade deadline. I reported here earlier this week that Twins had at least reached out to the Rockies about Troy Tulowitzki. More recently, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press talked about the team’s search for power arms. He...3969Sun, 26 Jul 2015 05:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-twins-most-overlooked-cornerstone-r3966/In a season where the Minnesota Twins have outperformed expectations at a rather surprising rate, there's been plenty to get excited about. Outside of the results on the diamond, Minnesota has watched top prospects Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano make their big league debuts.

Whether it was in the regular season or the postseason, the Yankees figured how to vanquish the Twins, often in spectacular fashion. Now, with Paul Molitor at the helm, th...3965Fri, 24 Jul 2015 17:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/how-serious-are-the-twins-about-2015-r3964/Major League Baseball's non-waiver trade deadline is one week away. Within the next seven days, we should get a pretty clear idea of just how much the front office believes in this year's club, and how serious they are about making a legitimate push. This will be dictated not only by Terry Ryan's...3964Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twins-v-yankees-724-710pm-ct-r3963/The Angels were hot when we played them and about the only team that is as hot as the Angels are the Yankees and Ta Da!!! It's all about playing teams at the right time and the Twins are getting a bunch of 'wrong times' of late. Come to think of it...
