Have you ever wondered about the poor dunderhead who started the string of trades by trading their pencil for that paper clip? The Twins were tha...15386Fri, 15 Dec 2023 12:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-continue-to-roll-dice-on-relief-options-r15403/This Minnesota Twins front office does not spend money on the bullpen. In an offseason in which they face stricter financial constraints, anyway, that seems unlikely to change. On which internal options can they win a roll of the dice in 2024? Since Derek Falvey and Thad Levine took over the...15403Thu, 14 Dec 2023 17:14:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/lineup-duos-carlos-correa-royce-lewis-aaron-judge-juan-soto/Aaron Judge and Juan Soto are teaming up in New York to form one of the best duos in baseball history. Can the Twins' top duo be considered among baseball’s best next season, too? Last week, the Yankees acquired Juan Soto in a blockbuster trade that will have long-term ramifications across t...15395Thu, 14 Dec 2023 15:56:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/table-setter-shohei-ohtani-opt-out-seth-lugo-trevor-rogers-andrew-friedman/With no new Twins news in the papers or on the horizon, join Matt for yet another take on Ohtani, his confusion regarding Seth Lugo, and speculation on Minnesota's starter trade target.  Ohtani’s Deferrals I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how I feel about Shohei Ohtani’s new deal.

But they now have a pretty crowded outfield picture. Can the Twins find a way to benefit from this?   It’s hard to argue that Juan Soto going to the New York Yankees is some...15410Thu, 14 Dec 2023 12:40:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/city-problems-r15416/On Thursday, in the wake of the Giants being outbid for their umpteenth straight elite free agent, the team put out the word that they feel like players are afraid of San Francisco, or uncomfortable playing there. At best, that's a smokescreen. At worst, it's a cynical lie. "The Giants' prob...15416Thu, 14 Dec 2023 11:12:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-minnesota-twins-and-the-death-of-the-innings-eater-r15398/Traditionally, teams have valued back-end starters who can consistently eat innings. As the league changes the way it deploys pitching staffs, though, that breed is dying. How has this trend impacted the Twins? So far this winter, Minnesota fans have watched the St. Louis Cardinals collect f...15398Wed, 13 Dec 2023 20:06:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/destination-the-show-episode-16-with-special-guest-tom-froemming-r15412/Draft tandem JD Cameron and Jeremy Nygaard team up for a new podcast to discuss prospects on their way to the big leagues. In this episode, we break down the Twins system with Tom Froemming. It was an enjoyable 100 minute as the three guys talked about any and all things Twins-related.

Alas, the Twins aren't yet one of the teams getting better. How many competent players would the Royals need to sign to go from 106 losses in 2023 to being genuinely competitive in 2024? It's probably an unrealistic number, but they've decided to try...15411Wed, 13 Dec 2023 14:07:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-twins-should-not-trade-max-kepler-r15408/The Twins have the depth to replace some players, but replacing Max Kepler would be difficult. They would be wiser to ride out his contract and explore other right-field options next offseason. Max Kepler has had his ups and downs with the Twins since joining the team in 2016.
