MYERS, FL &#x2013; Marwin Gonzalez signed with the Minnesota Twins on February 25th, with spring training already underway. Last year, two free agents joined up in similarly late fashion, and as we all know, things didn't work out so well with Lance Lynn or Logan Morrison.
With this in mind, should w...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7621</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Mar 2019 21:37:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Sire of Fort Myers Final Update: Ode to Ryne Harper</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/sire-of-fort-myers-final-update-ode-to-ryne-harper-r7619/</link><description>It&#x2019;s not really supposed to be like this.
The Sire of Fort Myers is intended to be all about shining a light on an unheralded player who realistically has no shot at actually cracking the Opening Day roster. Lucky for us, baseball has a knack for somehow circumventing reality.
A year after Ryan La...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7619</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Mar 2019 15:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Faltering Romero Exposes Flaw in Falvey's Offseason</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/faltering-romero-exposes-flaw-in-falvey39s-offseason-r7618/</link><description>Fernando Romero was talked up as having electric stuff and potentially being a real weapon out of Rocco Baldelli&#x2019;s pen. Unfortunately, when the rubber met the road, it turned out Romero required more seasoning, and he was optioned to Triple-A last night. That isn&#x2019;t the problem, but the fallout is....</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7618</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Mar 2019 14:05:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Local Student Struggling to Find German Word for Max Kepler Batting Leadoff</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/local-student-struggling-to-find-german-word-for-max-kepler-batting-leadoff-r7617/</link><description>With Opening Day less than a week away, the Minnesota Twins are in the process of making some hard decisions. And for one local grad student, it means a lot of extra hours in the library and at her laptop.

Jon Rauch. Matt Capps. Glen Perkins. Brandon Kintzler. Fernando Rodney.
The names have changed, but without exception, the Twins have opened every season in memory with a designated closer. In 2019, it appears that will change.

Despite multiple seasons of power production, the Mississippi native had hit the skids.

MYERS, FL &#x2013; After being acquired from the Yankees last July, Tyler Austin quickly caught the attention of Twins fans with his incredible power, launching nine homers with a .488 slugging percentage in 35 games for Minnesota. The immensity of his strength was easy to see.
This spring, he is onc...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7612</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 Mar 2019 02:22:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 2019 Position Analysis: Relief Pitcher</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-2019-position-analysis-relief-pitcher-r7611/</link><description>Among all units on the 2019 Twins roster, none are subject to more controversy and skepticism than the bullpen. It was the team's biggest question mark heading into the offseason, and the front office did very little externally to address it.
Can this relief corps hold up?
