The Minnesota Twins passed on Tommy John recipient Hunter Greene, a Babe Ruthian multi-position player, in the process. As one of the game’s best prospects, it’s time for Lewis to take the next step. Although not...9090Wed, 11 Mar 2020 12:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/is-byron-buxton-behind-schedule-for-opening-day-r9082/Spring training is getting closer to coming to a close, which means Opening Day is right around the corner. Luckily for the Twins, almost all their regular players [knock on wood] seem to be on track to be on the field in Oakland. Byron Buxton might be the lone exception to players expected to be...9082Wed, 11 Mar 2020 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-2020-position-analysis-left-field-r9089/The pressure is on for Eddie Rosario. Coming off a substandard season, with free agency inching closer and top prospects pressing upward from beneath, the fiery left field incumbent is on the hot seat. Then again, Rosario does have a historical habit of rising to the occasion. Projected Starter:...9089Wed, 11 Mar 2020 02:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/2020-minnesota-twins-top-5-regression-candidates-via-xwoba-r9078/After such a great showing of the bats in 2019 it’s probably prudent to expect at least some individual regression. Bringing in a potent bat like Josh Donaldson certainly helps, but can we really expect players such as Mitch Garver, who put up career years, to do the same in 2020? Predicting how...9078Wed, 11 Mar 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/byron-buxton39s-recovery-reaches-new-milestone-r9086/The Minnesota Twins have emphasized that when it comes to Byron Buxton, his recovery process will be taken one day at a time. On this day however he reached a fairly significant milestone for the 2020 season: Live swings. It happened in front of a near-empty minor league stadium. There were no fan...9086Tue, 10 Mar 2020 18:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/3-free-agents-to-be-with-something-to-prove-in-2020-r9079/Impending free agents can have a lot to prove in their final year under contract. Can they outperform their career numbers and hit a big payday? Or do they succumb to the pressure and underperform in one of their most important professional seasons? For three Twins players, there might be even mor...9079Tue, 10 Mar 2020 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/how-the-three-batter-rule-could-affect-more-than-the-twins-bullpen-r9084/Lots has been discussed about how the new three-batter rule will effect the pitching side of the game. What hasn't been discussed as much is how it could effect hitting strategies as the new rule is implemented in 2020. So just how could it affect the Twins 2020 lineup? The Minnesota Twins and th...9084Tue, 10 Mar 2020 02:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/one-seemingly-small-adjustment-from-byron-buxton-could-pay-off-big-r9080/Byron Buxton will always have swing-and-miss in his game, but he's shored up his vulnerability to whiffs over the last two years, especially in one key respect. Though Byron Buxton has had a long, uneven, complex development curve, it’s clear that he turned a new corner in 2019. After going back...9080Tue, 10 Mar 2020 02:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/leading-off-podcast-ep-31can-the-regular-season-start-soon-r9081/Matt and Cooper (and Andrew today) lament the fact that Spring Training is only about half over and we are bored.

Reassigned to the minor league camp are pitchers Lewis Thorpe, Dakota Chalmers, Jhoan Duran, Jorge Alcala, outfielder Gilberto Celestino and infielders Nick Gordon and Travis Blankenhorn. Of the cuts, perhaps the most surprising was Le...9083Mon, 09 Mar 2020 21:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/who-did-it-better-comparing-the-moncada-extension-with-the-keplerpolanco-extensions-r9077/On March 5, the Chicago White Sox inked third baseman Yoan Moncada to a hefty, five-year contract extension. How does this extension compare to the five-year deals signed by Max Kepler and Jorge Polanco last offseason? Let’s dig in and take a closer look.

He was signed by Bill Smith's front office, and developed mostly by Terry Ryan's. Debuting in 2014 at age 20, he's the only remaining position player on the team who played under Ron Gardenhire. But in other ways, Polanco represents the f...9076Mon, 09 Mar 2020 01:12:00 +0000
