Today, we turn our attention to the NL Central. Late last week, the Twins almost completed a deal to acquire Atlanta's J...5881Mon, 24 Jul 2017 02:13:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/det-9-min-6-twins-drop-to-third-in-division-25-games-back-r5880/With an ugly loss to Detroit Sunday, the Twins dropped to third place in the AL Central, and they’re now 2.5 games out of first place. The team had its opportunities to win this ballgame, but just couldn’t put together a sustained rally. The bullpen giving up seven runs didn’t help, either.

Are there stats we can point to that prove he’s a far superior game caller/pitcher whisperer than Chris Gimenez? Or are there too many variables that cloud the numbers? One of the fun parts that...5879Sun, 23 Jul 2017 13:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-6-tigers-5-twins-hold-off-tigers-r5878/Kyle Gibson had his longest outing of the season and everybody in the lineup recorded a hit, as the Twins celebrated a victory on the night they honored the 1987 World Series championship team. The Twins built a 6-0 lead and it appeared they’d coast to victory, but things got way too interesting i...5878Sun, 23 Jul 2017 03:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/no-garcia-trade-braves-balk-at-twins%E2%80%99-prospect%E2%80%99s-health-r5876/The reason Jaime Garcia pitched a gem in an Atlanta Braves uniform last night -- adding a grand slam at the plate for good measure -- rather than making travel arrangements to Minnesota appears to be because the Braves had concerns regarding the prospect the Twins made available in the trade talks...5876Sat, 22 Jul 2017 17:09:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/tigers-6-twins-3-bad-santana-r5875/Ervin Santana lasted just 3.1 innings, and it took him 95 pitches to get that far into the ballgame. The Twins couldn’t dig themselves out of the hole, but the loss didn’t cloud an exciting night at Target Field in which Tom Kelly’s statue was unveiled and the 1987 reunion weekend kicked off.

That deal never happened, but it was a good reminder that now is as good a time as ever to get acquainted with the system.

You were all overlooking Detroit in between and now the Tigers are in town for a 3-game series and they must be dealt with. It was the Astros, Yankees and Dodgers that were supposed to knock the Twins out of conten...5873Fri, 21 Jul 2017 11:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-now-a-destination-for-pitching-r5872/Going into 2017, arguably the biggest question mark for the Minnesota Twins was on the mound. Who could be counted upon in the starting rotation? Who would take the ball in relief? With no real moves made to bulk up either corps, there could have been cause for panic. However, the Twins have flipp...5872Fri, 21 Jul 2017 05:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/a-bump-in-the-road-for-the-saints-r5871/Even during a season filled with broken records, awards and accolades, you are still bound to hit a bump in the road every now and then, and one of those times is now for the Saints. A tough home stand followed by an even tougher trip north of the border has the team now sitting three games back o...5871Fri, 21 Jul 2017 05:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-close-to-acquiring-lhp-jaime-garcia-r5869/Update Friday 4:44 - It's now been about 24 hours since Ken Rosenthal first tweeted that the Twins were close to acquiring Jaime Garcia. As things sit right now, Garcia is set to start for Atlanta and the trade talks are on hold as other teams are now involved.

It is still fair to question whether the Twins are going to be buyers or sellers, both or neither at the deadline. They are 3-3 in six games against the Astros (1-2) and Yankees (2-1) and have stayed above .500. They are a half a gam...5868Thu, 20 Jul 2017 12:28:00 +0000
