He is just 22 years old but already made his MLB debut more than a month ago, when the Twins first called him from AAA. He could be just a regular Venezuelan guy who loves Latin music, loves to sleep, and a good plate of pasta and meatballs bu...8003Wed, 26 Jun 2019 15:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/mlb-all-star-election-day-what-you-need-to-know-r8002/It’s Election Day. No, we aren’t voting for new members of Congress, but fans will get to pick out the starters for MLB’s All-Star Game in Cleveland.

After being held to just one run against Homer Baily...8006Wed, 26 Jun 2019 03:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-can-welcome-the-perfect-storm-this-summer-r8004/In case you haven’t been paying attention the Minnesota Twins are the best team in the American League. They trail only the Los Angeles Dodgers' record across all of baseball, and they’ve run way out in front of the Cleveland Indians for the AL Central Division lead.

Although Rogers has been excellent, Rocco Baldelli could certainly benefit from another left-handed option in the bullp...7999Tue, 25 Jun 2019 16:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/shoring-up-twins-bullpen-will-be-a-mighty-challenge-r8000/Are great relievers born?

You take a starting pitcher who is struggling to get hitters out, move him to the bullpen, and whala, he becomes a new and improved pitcher out of the pen.
