Over that time, he has become one of the popular heartthrob faces on the Twins and a clutch power hitter among many. Still, 2021 was a down year for Kepler.

We're now into February, and the end of this lockout really feels no closer than it did a week in. The league and MLBPA have begun to meet with greater frequency, which is good I guess, but there are no sign...11828Thu, 03 Feb 2022 12:19:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/3-players-that-could-surprisingly-help-the-2022-twins-r11824/Depth became necessary for Minnesota in 2021, which might transpire again next year.

Not long after, Matthew Taylor wondered about the club going all-in on offense. Nick Nelson recently wrote about the Twins simple solution at shortstop, but it comes with pitfalls.

Odorizzi had bypassed free agency by accepting th...11815Tue, 01 Feb 2022 17:10:10 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/most-popular-twins-articles-2012/On February 19th, Twins Daily will be celebrating its 10-year anniversary.

Since then, we have had virtually no baseball news and very little progress regarding the resumption of activity. Before that, though, there was madness. Eventually, we’ll get that madness again, but is it enough?

Offseasons are usually just as simple, with contending teams adding to their rosters while clubs further away build for...11814Mon, 31 Jan 2022 17:10:09 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-the-geek-ep-562-big-papi-and-trading-pitchers-r11820/Aaron and John discuss David Ortiz's election into MLB's Hall of Fame, what offseason starting pitching trades look like, the rhetoric surrounding a nerd being named the Vikings new GM, and why Aaron is once again excited about an in-person event.  You can listen by downloading us from iTunes, S...11820Mon, 31 Jan 2022 17:09:45 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/lets-not-give-up-yet-on-aaron-sabato-r11816/Drafted in the first round less than two years ago, many have moved on from Aaron Sabato as a serious prospect for the Twins.
