For a Commissioner like Rob Manfred,...9238Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/you39re-going-to-love-watching-baseball-this-year-r9237/It is natural to focus on dates and locations, but those were not the important part of last week’s ESPN report that MLB and MLBPA had met with CDC, HHS and other health care officials to discuss a path for MLB games' restart.

Player development, to say the least, is my jam. Any written word on the industry is an op...9232Tue, 14 Apr 2020 09:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/top-5-minnesota-twins-trades-that-built-contenders-r9235/There are many ways to build championship teams.

These three players help illustrate why. It seems likely that the coronavirus will define the calendar year of 2020, in all facets of life throughout the world, let alone the United States. In several years, the mention of 2020...9233Tue, 14 Apr 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/projecting-the-opening-day-roster-29-players33-yes-please-r9189/Well things have certainly gone crazy since my initial roster projection.

MLB is planning on expanding rosters to start the 2020 campaign and that significantly alter...9189Mon, 13 Apr 2020 14:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/ranking-the-top-10-moments-from-the-1991-world-series-r9231/Commonly referred to as the greatest Series ever played, the 1991 World Series was full of great moments. From extra inning games, to walk-off hits, to controversial calls, to complete game shutouts, the ‘91 Series was no short on drama. There were ten moments, though, that stood above the rest....9231Mon, 13 Apr 2020 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/it39s-time-to-give-up-the-ghost-of-a-2020-mlb-season-of-record-r9230/If Major League Baseball is going to have any kind of season in 2020, it needs to be a novelty exhibition. Trying to put anything meaningful on the record makes no sense and is likely infeasible. This is a hard truth, but one we sadly must come to grips with it.
