With money to spend and an open window, the focus will be improving the rotation and making the offense even stronger, while f...8641Wed, 20 Nov 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/women39s-baseball-experience-part-1-woo33-fun-on-the-field33-aka-the-one-where-they-actually-let-us-on-the-target-field-grass333333-r8649/Every once in a while I get inspired to write up something at a level beyond my Twitter feed. After the Women’s Baseball Experience this year, I wanted to write it up, but struggled with how. I finally decided it needed three parts – what happens during the session, the panel after the field porti...8649Wed, 20 Nov 2019 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/left-side-strong-side-the-bar-has-been-raised-r8652/The Minnesota Twins have had some pretty notable players take the field for them since the turn of the century. Joe Mauer, Torii Hunter, and Johan Santana just to name a few. A struggle for the Twins in that same time span has been to find consistency on the left side of their infield. That may fi...8652Tue, 19 Nov 2019 04:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/offseason-blueprint-generics-over-brand-names-r8644/On a shelf sit two bottles of dishwasher gel. One is a brand name you’re familiar with, the other a generic. You start reaching for the brand name and notice it’s $5.99 while the other is only $3.69. Is there any reason to pay nearly twice as much for a comparable product? Much like at the superm...8644Tue, 19 Nov 2019 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/who-could-the-twins-trade-this-offseason-r8643/While we debate Eddie Rosario's trade value, he's far from the only asset the Twins might dangle in front of other teams. The Twins have a loaded farm system and also have several young players of interest to other teams. Who else could the Twins trade in the weeks ahead? Outfielders While Twins...8643Mon, 18 Nov 2019 14:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-453-the-return-of-odorizzi-r8646/Aaron and John talk about Jake Odorizzi accepting the Twins' qualifying offer, the Astros' sign-stealing scandal, the ETA for the Twins' next big move, Rocco Baldelli winning Manager of the Year, and contract extensions for everyone.

But what if the Minnesota Twins can head int...8642Mon, 18 Nov 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/offseason-blueprint-spending-every-penny-r8640/Jim Pohlad has had it up to here with you people. After checking his burner twitter account (@matthew_btwins) and once again seeing someone call him a Pohlad Pocket Protector, he officially snapped. He told Falvey and Levine they can spend as much money as they want, and they did not disappoint....8640Sun, 17 Nov 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/offseason-blueprint-run-it-back-r8638/The Twins are entering their most crucial offseason in many years. After winning 101 games and their first division title since 2010, Minnesota is primed to take the next step toward the fall classic. Why not bring the whole band back together? It worked in 2019. When I say bring the band back to...8638Sat, 16 Nov 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/trading-for-a-young-starter-sandy-alcantara-r8629/With numerous starting rotation holes to fill and plenty of other teams eager to sign free agents, the Twins seem destined to at least test the waters of the trade market. While pitchers who are nearing free agency seem most likely to be dangled by noncompetitive teams, it might be prudent to make...8629Sat, 16 Nov 2019 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-new-pitches-of-trevor-may-and-tyler-duffey-r8633/As great as the Twins’ offense was in 2019, the team got as far as they did just as much because of a number of surprisingly successful pitchers. One natural conclusion to draw might be that regression will be coming in 2020. For the Twins and their new pitching infrastructure, however, there’s an...8633Fri, 15 Nov 2019 14:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/eddie-rosario39s-actual-value-is-an-offseason-sticking-point-r8639/I shouldn't be surprised anymore. I really shouldn't. Baseball's award voters have overemphasized traditional baseball-card numbers like wins and saves and RBIs as indicators of value since long before I was born. By no means should I have been shocked to see Eddie Rosario receive two eighth-place...8639Fri, 15 Nov 2019 06:40:00 +0000
