He had been DFAd by the Atlanta Braves after signing a one-year, $12.5 million deal this past offseason. Through 13 starts, he had been nothing short of horrid, and even the non-contending Braves ha...6035Fri, 01 Sep 2017 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/versatile-goodrum-gets-september-call-r6037/Last year, following an injury-plagued season at AA Chattanooga, Niko Goodrum could have become a six-year minor league free agent. Instead, he quickly signed on to remain with the Twins for another year on a minor league contract. On Wednesday night following a game in Rochester, Goodrum learned...6037Thu, 31 Aug 2017 21:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-5-chw-4-twins-win-on-walk-off-hbp-r6038/Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the Twins go out and win a game on a walk-off hit batsman. After Eddie Rosario delivered a game-tying single in the bottom of the ninth, Max Kepler took one for the team to give the Twins their 70th victory of the season.

Ahh, that sweet onomatopoeia: the sound of a pitch whooshing past a bat untouched. Music to a hurler's ears. It's a song Kyle Gibson hasn't heard as often as one would hope, or expect. Until lately. In 2005, the Twins used their first-round pick to draft Matt Garza, a pitcher who has gone...6034Thu, 31 Aug 2017 04:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-11-chw-1-rosario-hits-2-hrs-buxton-exits-with-injury-r6033/Jose Berrios was dominant, the defense was great and the offense kept rolling. It was another great August night for the Twins, what a month they've had. Eddie Rosario went deep twice. Byron Buxton made another four-star catch, but left this game early with a hand injury.

Stephen Gonsalves didn’t fare quite so well. It wasn’t a great night for the Lookouts, either, but the Miracle turned their first triple play in franchise history...6032Thu, 31 Aug 2017 02:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-6-chw-4-polanco-does-it-all-r6030/Jorge Polanco stole a base, hit a home run from the left side, hit a home run from the right side and made a web gem in the field. Nice little Tuesday at the ballpark for the young man. Also, Ervin Santana delivered a quality start and Matt Belisle picked up the save.

It’s one of those baseball phrases (or really any business) that is used by both sides. Most would acknowledge that building from within is ideal, particularly in baseball with its pay scales.

I suppose I could look it up but I’m not sure what to type in the Google search box.
