One of the rule changes that will go into effect for the 2023 season is larger bases, partially in an attempt to encoura...13218Thu, 03 Nov 2022 12:03:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/looking-back-ryan-pressly-excited-to-be-with-the-twins-on-opening-day-r1309/Last night, Astros closer and former Minnesota Twins Rule 5 pick and relief pitcher Ryan Pressly recorded the final three outs of the second no-hitter in World Series history. 2013 was the first season of Twins Daily, and I had the opportunity to cover Opening Day at Target Field.

Once he opts out of his contract, there is little inclination that he will return for 2023 on a new deal. Needing to replace the production, could Minnesota look behind the plate?   Despite what looked to be like a...13211Wed, 02 Nov 2022 12:15:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/do-the-twins-want-a-platoon-behind-the-plate-r13212/It’s beyond safe to say that things didn’t go well for the 2022 Minnesota Twins at the catcher position. They traded the starter, wound up with an unhealthy up-and-comer, and not even a change of scenery could help a former Yankee. Now how do they get the most out of the position? How about a pl...13212Tue, 01 Nov 2022 16:32:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-hire-nick-paparesta-head-trainer-injuries/The Minnesota Twins hired new athletic trainer Nick Paparesta to lead the team to more healthy waters. But how much impact can one athletic trainer have? Forgive me for beating a dead horse, but the Minnesota Twins were among the most injured teams in MLB during the 2022 regular season.

Ryan Jeffers in 2023 and beyond. I find myself pondering a more big-picture question, which itself – in a way – has implications on the team's decision m...13206Tue, 01 Nov 2022 12:02:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-pitching-prospects-that-could-breakout-in-2023-r13196/These are three prospects that have the potential to be a part of the long-term solution for the Twins rotation very soon.      The Twins pitching rotation struggled on and off this season from starters to the bullpen.

It’s still a bit cold for baseball, but the warmth of seeing the team again soothes the cold plastic of the seats. The Astros are in town—not the team you exactly want on Opening Day to get fans excited.
