The season where everything fell apart after many years of fun playoff baseball. The season that began nearly a decade of misery for the Twins. Let’s look back on this strange ride. We're running a 20-part series in which we look back at each Minnesota Twins sea...9400Tue, 02 Jun 2020 01:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/from-bombas-to-bamboo-in-the-absence-of-baseball-r9398/What does bamboo have to do with baseball or the Minnesota Twins? I thought you’d never ask! The short and boring answer would be “not much.” While that would free me up to spend more actual time with bamboo it probably wouldn’t suffice for an article. Where am I going with all this? I’m not enti...9398Tue, 02 Jun 2020 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/max-kepler-and-the-cost-of-silence-r9399/Our community is broken. Our country is broken. To not speak up is to be complicit. To shy away from this conversation is to contribute to the widespread apathy and complacency that has brought us to this tragic state. That's why Max Kepler's actions on social media over the weekend are so bitterl...9399Mon, 01 Jun 2020 04:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-in-the-2000s-the-2010-season-r9397/The 2010 season will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Minnesota Twins fans, as it was the year that outdoor baseball finally returned to Minnesota. Target Field became home, and the Twins threw quite the housewarming party. We're running a 20-part series in which we look back at each...9397Mon, 01 Jun 2020 02:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/how-did-the-twins-fare-after-the-rabbit-ball-season-r9394/Baseballs were flying out of ballparks at a record pace during the 2020 season and the Twins took full advantage by clocking 307 home runs and setting the all-time MLB record. Another important season in Twins history saw a record-breaking home run pace that many attribute to a different baseball...9394Sun, 31 May 2020 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/taylor-rogers-shouldn%E2%80%99t-be-the-twins-closer-r9392/If baseball can find a way to happen in 2020, our Twins have a lot more certainty in their bullpen than in recent years. Taylor Rogers was one of the few relievers we had confidence in for 2019 and he certainly earned his role as the closer. It may serve the Twins well to not be so fast to assign...9392Sun, 31 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/2020-mlb-draft-top-50-prospects-21-30-r9395/So far, we have looked at the prospects that I have ranked 31st through 50th in the 2020 MLB Draft. Now it is time to take a look at the prospects ranked 21st through 30th. With the Minnesota Twins making their first selection at pick number 27 overall, the players listed below should all be on Tw...9395Sat, 30 May 2020 19:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/a-look-into-how-the-twins-fared-in-mlb%E2%80%99s-5-best-draft-classes-r9389/Jim Callis recently ranked the five best drafts of all time at mlb.com. Today we’ll take a look at how the Twins performed in these historically great drafts. 1) 1985 This draft was absolutely loaded and included B.J.

Rooker, 25, whom the Twins drafted with the 35th pick i...9387Sat, 30 May 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-in-the-2000s-the-2009-season-r9376/As the Metrodome era came to an end, the 2009 season featured a good but flawed team, which barely squeaked into the playoffs out of a ho-hum division. But it also featured one of the greatest individual campaigns, and one of the greatest single games, in franchise history. We're running a 20-par...9376Fri, 29 May 2020 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/are-torii-hunter-and-josh-donaldson-future-hall-of-famers-r9388/Few things get baseball fans more riled up then talking about the Hall of Fame and who deserves to make it in. To continue that, we’ll be looking at the cases for two Twins who look to be, as of today, on the fringe of making it. Torii Hunter: Hunter’s case is decent. He won nine Gold Glove award...9388Fri, 29 May 2020 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/baseball-is-running-out-on-its-future-r9390/This week represents a critical juncture for the return of Major League Baseball in 2020. It also represents another very critical time and it’s one that comes with a much more somber tone. On May 31, the payments made to minor leaguers will run out. Then what? In a normal season finances aren’t...9390Fri, 29 May 2020 01:00:00 +0000
