He just might be on the verge of joining the Twins again this week. After spending the majority of his professional career in the New York Yankees system, he was traded to the Twins late in spring training.

Following perhaps its best stretch of baseball all year – four wins in five games against a pair of top-flight teams – Minnes...6921Mon, 25 Jun 2018 01:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-2-tex-0-la-makkkkkkkkkkkkina-r6920/Jose Berrios struck out a career-high 12 batters and pitched seven shutout innings to set the tone for the Twins.

Another devastating out recorded on the basepaths. Yep, just another drop down the drain in this 2018 Twins season. On the plus side, Eddie Rosario was able to start, Eduardo Escobar was able to come off the bench and Brian Dozier made one of the best double plays you’ll ever...6916Sat, 23 Jun 2018 03:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/what39s-the-deal-with-matt-magill-r6913/Spending time with my in-laws by choice. The Minnesota Twins stealing a base. Paul Molitor using Matt Magill out of the Twins bullpen. These are all things which happen sparingly. But why? Magill has been excellent for the Twins bullpen since his promotion in April. So who is Matt Magill?

It is the type of injury that would have made a lesser person's fingers tingle for hours, leaving them incapable...6915Fri, 22 Jun 2018 03:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-gib-is-up-kyle-is-for-real-r6911/There’s no need to remind you of what Kyle Gibson was, we’re all aware. Early on in the 2017 season, the former first round pick looked like a good bet to be non-tendered this past winter; General Manager Thad Levine admitted as much. The turnaround made by the former Missouri Tiger has been noted...6911Thu, 21 Jun 2018 23:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/bos-9-min-2-there-go-those-shiny-pitching-stats-r6912/Entering this game, the Twins hadn’t given up more than six runs all month and the pitching staff had a 3.17 ERA, good for sixth best in the league.
