Trading him for another player who could use a change of scenery makes sense. The Los Angeles Angels have just that player.   When A...16555Mon, 15 Jul 2024 11:14:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/giants-3-twins-2-twins-no-match-for-blake-snell-faceplant-into-all-star-break-r16597/The suddenly depleted Twins looked dead on arrival against a resurgent Blake Snell. Although their pitching kept the game close, the lineup was a few bats short. They made some noise in the ninth, briefly tying the game, but the Giants immediately walked it off on a triple from Mike Yastrzemski...16597Sun, 14 Jul 2024 22:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/a-tale-of-carlos-correas-all-star-seasons-r16556/Recently selected to the 2024 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, Minnesota Twins Carlos Correa has done this before.

Everything they did wrong in that game was tightened up on Saturday, and Carlos Santana checked off a final box in the victory.

Maybe they have success for a little while, but for most players, it requires a trip or three to Triple-A and back. Sometimes it is expected. Other times, it can be semi-shocking. And sometimes, Willi Castro turns into an All-Star.

But the Twins don’t need to do it this year. Every year, roughly a dozen right-handed setup men get flipped from a team out of contention to a playoff hopeful.

What does that mean? I’m glad you asked. Last season, the Twins saw what it takes to win in October. Strong starting pitching, a powerful lineup, and a shutdown bullpen are all keys. As the front of...16578Thu, 11 Jul 2024 23:04:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/four-takeaways-from-the-minnesota-twins-first-half-r16559/The first half has been a roller coaster for the Minnesota Twins during the 2024 season.
