On the final Sunday of the 2017 regular season, Minnesota Twins fans had the privilege of watching 44-year-old Bartolo Colon put, perhaps, the finishing touch on...6159Mon, 16 Oct 2017 00:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/supplementing-the-twins-lance-lynn-r6157/The Minnesota Twins are now well underway into creating their offseason blueprint. Coming off a season in which the greatest turnaround in MLB history took place, it’s only fair to wonder what’s next for this organization. The evaluation period for Derek Falvey and Thad Levine is over, which means...6157Fri, 13 Oct 2017 02:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/diving-into-the-offseason-a-dozier-extension-r6158/A year ago, the Twins were coming off of a 103-loss season, and all of the talk was about whether or not Brian Dozier would be traded for prospects. A deal was not able to be worked out, and Dozier remained with the Twins. Things have changed after a 2017 season that saw the Twins win 85 games and...6158Thu, 12 Oct 2017 23:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-daily-awards-2017-most-valuable-player-r6156/We know that Major League Baseball keeps its definition of “valuable” as in “Most Valuable Player” intentionally vague. While many believe that it is an attempt to keep people talking about it longer, it is also simply because people define value in different ways. Some believe it should be an awa...6156Thu, 12 Oct 2017 11:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/knock-knock-silence-r6155/Opportunity almost always chooses to knock when you’re stuck on the phone talking to tech support. She does not accommodate your schedule. You play on hers, or you don’t play. This offseason, the Twins will face that reality, because they have a small window to accomplish something they’ve been wa...6155Wed, 11 Oct 2017 03:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-daily-awards-2017-best-pitcher-r6154/We had some tough choices to make in our Twins Daily Awards polling for Most Improved and Rookie of the Year. The decision for Best Pitcher was... considerably easier. Ervin Santana unsurprisingly swept the ballots with arguably the best campaign by a Twins starter since that other Santana guy lef...6154Wed, 11 Oct 2017 01:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/injury-cloud-surrounds-buxton39s-breakout-season-r6149/Twins fans know where Byron Buxton’s season started. Even with a tremendous diving catch on Opening Day, Buxton quickly found himself mired in a terrible offensive slump to start the year. He eventually found himself at the plate and went on to be named Twins Daily's Most Improved Player. Fans hav...6149Tue, 10 Oct 2017 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-daily-awards-2017-rookie-of-the-year-r6151/The 2017 season will be remembered as a year of great improvement for the Minnesota Twins, as evidenced by their 26-game jump. Yesterday, Twins Daily named Byron Buxton the 2017 Most Improved Player, an award that could have gone to a number of deserving players. Today, we are announcing the Twins...6151Tue, 10 Oct 2017 03:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/it39s-official-twinsmolitor-agree-to-three-year-deal-r6150/The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have reached a three-year contract extension with manager Paul Molitor. In his three seasons since becoming the Twins manager, Molitor is 227-259. That includes two seasons in which they were above .500. They were 83-79 in 2015, and this year's squad w...6150Mon, 09 Oct 2017 20:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-daily-awards-2017-most-improved-r6148/Improvement was the story of the 2017 Minnesota Twins. From 103 losses to 85 wins; from worst team in baseball to a postseason berth. It was a year-to-year jump like none we've ever seen in this franchise's history. Many different players contributed to this seismic upswing with their own individu...6148Mon, 09 Oct 2017 02:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-337-what39s-up-with-molitor-r6147/Aaron and John are at Rock 4 Rescues at Sociable Cider Works, talking about whether anything can be learned from the Al Wild Card game, John's trip to New York, the rumors (and silence) about an extension for Paul Molitor and a couple of questions about the offseason.

The last couple of years, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at those predictions and compare them to what actually happened. While I tend to be optimistic, my 2016 predictions were generally way too optimistic. I have no p...6146Fri, 06 Oct 2017 05:46:00 +0000
