That makes him more well-rounded, and it might allow him to be better than even advanced models forecast him to be. José Berríos threw more changeups in 2019 than in the previous two seasons, combined. He’d had a good change when he f...9001Thu, 20 Feb 2020 04:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-twins-are-going-to-be-great-and-they-know-it-r8997/The Minnesota Twins are entering 2020 with higher expectations than this team has experienced in years.

However, his Achilles heel seems to be his second half performance as his ERA is more than a full run higher from the first half to the second half. Entering his age-26 season, here are f...8995Thu, 20 Feb 2020 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/fascinating-facts-about-5-new-twins-players-r9000/After a busy and fruitful offseason, the Twins will have several new faces entering the fold in 2020.
