Coming off a year of -7 defensive runs saved at the age of 26 years old, it’s fair to wonder just how long Polanco can continue manning the premier position....9301Sun, 03 May 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/3-reasons-why-expanded-divisions-are-ideal-for-the-twins-r9300/MLB is frantically looking for ways to start the 2020 season.

OMG!!! ME TOO!!! Well, I’ve got good...9294Sat, 02 May 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/who-are-your-top-5-relief-pitchers-in-minnesota-twins-history-r9284/After ranking the five best hitters and starting pitchers, it’s time to discuss who were the best relievers to ever pitch for the Twins.

The team has finally expanded their reach in free agency over the last few seasons. Players who would previously never have been considered realistic target...9299Fri, 01 May 2020 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/mlb39s-realignment-reignites-the-best-rivalry-of-yesteryear-r9297/Max Kepler had a breakout season in 2019 with 36 home runs, a 16.6 strikeout percentage, and the highest WAR of any Twin.

As technology has improved, it has become easier to rate defenders on their jump to the ball, their route to the ball and the overall difficulty of the catch. Not so very long ago, Gold Gloves were awarded for the bes...9288Thu, 30 Apr 2020 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/what-i-learned-from-rod-carew39s-39hit-to-win39-part-one-r9292/When one of the best hitters in baseball history writes about their craft, it's worth revisiting every so often to mine for wisdom.
