In between railing against the contract Joe Mauer earned while playing as one of the greatest catchers of all time, Minnesotans have chided the Pohlad’s about being cheap and failing to spend money on their beloved baseball team....6358Fri, 26 Jan 2018 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-minnesota-twins-said-no-to-jim-thome-r6357/In June 1989 the MInnesota Twins completed what would be one of their most well-rounded drafts and one that aided in bringing a second World Series title to the organization. In the first four rounds they nabbed Chuck Knoblauch and Scott Erickson (two pillars of the 1991 team) as well as Denny Nea...6357Thu, 25 Jan 2018 06:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/get-to-know-rule-5-pick-tyler-kinley-r6356/The final days of the Winter Meetings is highlighted by the annual Rule 5 draft. The Twins lost hard-throwing relievers Nick Burdi and Luke Bard, but when their pick came up, they selected a pitcher with a similar profile to the two players they’d lost.

But watching him in games, it was difficult to identify how he was working his magic behind the plate. And that’s exactly the point. As I noted in an article earlier...6355Thu, 25 Jan 2018 05:09:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/report-darvish-decision-expected-this-week-twins-in-consideration-r6354/Free agency has been slow moving this off-season. Few of the top free agents have signed and there has even been talk about collusion among MLB’s teams. Realistically, teams are smarter about the way they spend money and this year’s crop of free agents has plenty of flaws. The Twins have been tied...6354Wed, 24 Jan 2018 17:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/5-challenges-the-twins-should-be-prepared-to-face-in-2018-r6353/In the history of baseball, no season has ever gone off without a hitch. To encounter nothing but smooth sailing over the course of six months and 162 games is about as realistic an aspiration as hitting a five-run homer.

Add to the top or aim for depth? Which of those strategies would you prefer the Twins take when it comes to upgrading their rotation? I threw this idea out on Twitter last Fri...6352Wed, 24 Jan 2018 00:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/overheard-at-twinsfest-granite-wants-to-kick-yankee-33-r6350/TwinsFest is a great destination for fans to gather, meet the players and maybe score a few autographs, but it’s also the source of a lot of great information.
