Almost a year later, the Marlins have shelled out several pieces of their young rotation but still have plenty of overflow. The Twins may very well look to engag...10008Sun, 25 Oct 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/who-could-be-the-twins39-randy-arozarena-r10003/There has arguably been no better story in the 2020 MLB playoffs than the emergence of Tampa Bay Rays’ outfielder Randy Arozarena out of obscurity and into the collective baseball zeitgeist. Arozarena was brought over from the St. Louis Cardinals as a throw-in component of a January trade that sa...10003Sat, 24 Oct 2020 22:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-littell-dilemma-r10010/The Dodgers have a 2-1 series lead in the World Series as I type this. It’s possible that the World Series is over as early as Sunday. Even if the series goes seven games, the series will be over Wednesday and the offseason will begin. Teams will have decisions to make. The Twins will have to make...10010Sat, 24 Oct 2020 17:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/most-valuable-non-prospect-pitching-trade-pieces-r10007/Last week, I wrote about the Most Valuable Non-Prospect Offensive Trade Pieces. This week I will focus on which non-prospect pitchers I think are most valuable on the trade market. These are players that I don’t necessarily think will, or should, get traded but provide the most valuable towards a...10007Sat, 24 Oct 2020 17:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/here39s-what-a-postseason-start-looks-like-in-2020-r10009/This is the new normal. Postseason pitching staff management has changed, as starting pitchers going deep into games becomes more and more rare. Here’s a look into a typical postseason start leading up to the World Series this season. The information below is from all rounds of the 2020 postseaso...10009Sat, 24 Oct 2020 03:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-free-agent-targets-catcher-and-infield-r10005/While their flexibility on the open market will be largely dictated by their decisions with payroll, internal free agents, and arbitration, the Minnesota Twins will surely be active in addressing needs via free agency this winter. Today we examine key targets at catcher and infield. On Thursday n...10005Fri, 23 Oct 2020 02:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/re-creating-the-bullpen-in-the-aggregate-r10000/The film Moneyball was recently uploaded to Netflix. Naturally, I watched it the first day it was available because of how hard it slaps (and because it documents the last time the Twins won a playoff series). In it there’s a where Brad Pitt points out that the scouts were looking at their prob...10000Fri, 23 Oct 2020 02:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/designated-hitter-gets-new-wrench-for-twins-in-2021-r10002/If you’ve played around with the Twins Daily payroll tool at all, you’ve quickly understood one of the swing moves for the offseason relates to how much money is spent on the designated hitter. Specifically, is Nelson Cruz brought back, or is it time to move on? Now new developments make the quest...10002Fri, 23 Oct 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/offseason-live-replay-catcher-amp-infield-free-agent-targets-r10001/Alex Avila, Marwin Gonzalez and Ehire Adrianza all played fairly significant roles on the 2020 Twins (for better or worse), and all three are set to hit free agency this offseason. How will the front office fill these important roles? Thursday night, we took a look at what the open market has to o...10001Thu, 22 Oct 2020 12:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/let39s-get-creative-pushing-jorge-polanco-to-the-utility-role-r9998/The Twins got creative last winter by signing Josh Donaldson and moving Miguel Sanó to first base. There is another opportunity for innovation this offseason at the shortstop position. It’s very difficult to evaluate and project Jorge Polanco. He hit a solid but not spectacular .272/.329/.420 in...9998Thu, 22 Oct 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-face-2-pivotal-decisions-in-arbitration-r9999/The Minnesota Twins have seven (or maybe eight) players eligible for arbitration this offseason. Beyond the usual uncertainty around how much each player will earn next year, given the ability to submit their own salary figures, there are at least two pivotal decisions to be made on longtime fixtu...9999Wed, 21 Oct 2020 12:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/close-and-personal-friend-the-baseball-legacy-of-sid-hartman-r9997/The state of Minnesota lost a legend on Sunday when Sid Hartman passed away at the age of 100. Yet his impact on the Minnesota baseball community and greater sports community will never be forgotten. Minnesota lost a close, personal friend and arguably it’s most storied journalist on Sunday.
