But do the Twins really have a lot to worry about when facing the South Siders this year?

Last week, Matt Braun showed us how good the Indians still are....</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8918</guid><pubDate>Sun, 02 Feb 2020 19:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>3 Recent Extensions That Could Compare to a Possible Jose Berrios Extension</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/3-recent-extensions-that-could-compare-to-a-possible-jose-berrios-extension-r8916/</link><description>It looks like the Twins and Jose Berrios are on their way to an arbitration hearing after not agreeing on a contract for 2020. They would likely want this to be avoided so maybe they are quietly working on an extension. I looked at three recent extensions that give us an idea of what Berrios could...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8916</guid><pubDate>Sun, 02 Feb 2020 15:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Finding The Rotation's Upside</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/finding-the-rotation39s-upside-r8911/</link><description>The Twins swung and missed on the big addition to their pitching staff they were looking for this offseason. What the front office did instead was load up on depth for the rotation and bullpen as well as add Josh Donaldson as an impact addition. We&#x2019;ve seen plenty of coverage on how this will benef...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8911</guid><pubDate>Sun, 02 Feb 2020 01:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Report: Twins to Sign RHP Jhoulys Chacin to Minor League Contract</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/report-twins-to-sign-rhp-jhoulys-chacin-to-minor-league-contract-r8915/</link><description>Reports from Jon Heyman and Robert Murray indicate that the Twins have signed veteran right-handed pitcher to a minor league contract.

While Chacin is signed to a non-guaranteed, minor league contract, it is very likely that he will be in the Twins Opening Day rotation.

There are no quasi-experimental surgeries, no double-digit trips to the injured list, and no potential career-defining injuries.

It will pit the AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs against the NFC Champion San Francisco 49ers.

How does their lineup compare to the Yankees and Astros?

Donaldson is known for wearing his emotions on his sleeve and isn&#x2019;t afraid of getting into any scuffle. Let&#x2019;s rank Josh Donaldson&#x2019;s top five altercations of his career.

They&#x2019;re shiny, fun, and they give life some much needed change at times. But the thing about new things is that the excitement of &#x201C;newness&#x201D; drowns out the old and leads us to believe that the new is better when the old is still perfectly good.

Where is this analogy going?...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8908</guid><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 03:15:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gleeman & The Geek, Ep 464: The Brusdar Graterol Question]]></title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-464-the-brusdar-graterol-question-r8910/</link><description>Aaron and John talk about the pros, cons, and side effects of Brusdar Graterol shifting to the bullpen, trading Ryne Harper to make room for Josh Donaldson, Marwin Gonzalez's link to the 2017 Astros' cheating, feeling bad for Derek Shelton, and the value of being right in theory only.

The reality is that we may have just been scratching the surface, and a 2020 encore could provide numbers we haven&#x2019;t seen in over 50 years.
