There were so many really, really good options that it was difficult to pick some over the others.

These are the facts: Minnesota is above .500 and very much in the mix as we enter June, but the Twins won't likely hang around unless they do something to address the relie...5655Fri, 02 Jun 2017 03:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-daily-%E2%80%9Cthank-you%E2%80%9D-sweepstakes-official-rules-r5840/NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN.

The next 3 nights the Twins will be playing past my usual bedtime so they will need to perform well enough to justify me slapping my face and duct taping my eyelids open to stay awake and watch them.

They made other moves too -- including designating for assignment lefty Jason Wheeler -- but Pressly’s demotion hurts. The right-hander had allowed 19 runs in 18 in...5651Thu, 01 Jun 2017 05:28:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/trio-spurs-minnesota39s-defensive-turnaround-r5646/As the season began, I asked an important question, "How Much Can Minnesota's Defense Improve?" The Twins have answered that question loud and clear. While their offense and pitching staff are putting together similar numbers, the club's defense has been elite so far this year.
