Today, we’re going to take a look at the 26 players who have not yet reached arbitration. To be removed from the roster, these players are typically sent through outright waivers. 40-MAN SITUATION...5009Fri, 19 Aug 2016 02:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/escobar-back-to-his-old-ways-back-to-the-bench-r5011/Heading into this season, it appeared Eduardo Escobar had cemented himself as the Twins' starting shortstop. He'd put together two-straight above average offensive seasons and ended his 2015 season with a big exclamation point. With a poor showing thus far in 2016, however, Escobar's place on the...5011Thu, 18 Aug 2016 21:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twins-royals-818-715pm-ct-r5013/The Twins packed up, left Atlanta and made the trek to Kansas City to face the suddenly hopeful Royals for a 4 game series. Suddenly hopeful because Danny Duffy and Wade Davis say they can do it. They believe that they can make the playoffs. Why not… the Twins came back from sub .500 in 2009. The...5013Thu, 18 Aug 2016 12:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-bite-sized-history-part-6-bottoming-out-amp-starting-anew-r5012/The Twins appeared to be ascending in 1977. The 'Lumber Company' made a charge towards the division title and over a million fans watched Rodney Carew fall just eight hits shy of hitting .400. But the team was about to go sharply downhill - before the next season even began. Part 5 of a 12-part s...5012Thu, 18 Aug 2016 11:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/examining-arbitration-eligible-players-r5008/Earlier this summer, we examined the players that the organization would need to add or risk losing in December’s Rule 5 draft. Before we can do that, though, the Twins will need to make room for the potential additions. Over the next two days, we’ll look at some possible ways to free up some spot...5008Thu, 18 Aug 2016 02:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/pitching-pipeline-what39s-next-r5007/It's not exactly a secret that the Twins need better pitching. They have allowed the most runs in the American League by a huge margin, hanging an above-average offense out to try. Now that Jose Berrios has joined the rotation (hopefully for good), what else is on the way? Berrios has been uneven...5007Wed, 17 Aug 2016 03:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twins-braves-816-610pm-ct-r5005/There are two teams and two teams only with winning percentages under .400. Normally, if you wanted to watch both of them live at the same time… it would be impossible because you can’t be in two places at once. However, for the next two days… the universe opens up and makes it possible. You can w...5005Tue, 16 Aug 2016 11:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-minor-league-report-815-wins-all-wins-r5003/Though the Twins were off, there was plenty of action in the farm system. Rochester announced today that Byungho Park was placed on the disabled list with tendinitis in his wrist. Heiker Meneses rejoined the Red Wings to take his place on the roster. Luke Bard made the jump from Fort Myers to Chat...5003Tue, 16 Aug 2016 04:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/kepler-versus-buxton-has-become-no-contest-r5001/In the prospect ranking department there are always players that fall slip through the cracks. For instance, take a look at Brian Dozier. As Nick wrote about on Monday, Dozier hit a combined total of 16 home runs over 1,600 plate appearances in the minors. Needless to say, Dozier was never feature...5001Tue, 16 Aug 2016 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-andrew-albers-circus-r5002/Since the original release was sent out late Wednesday night, the transaction story of Andrew Albers has been downright confusing. CAUTION: Do not read if you want to avoid a headache. The night of last Wednesday, August 10th, started with Brian Dozier and the Twins hanging five runs on Dallas Ke...5002Mon, 15 Aug 2016 21:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/brian-dozier-powerful-asset-r4999/In the entirety of his minor-league career – 365 games and 1,600 plate appearances spanning four seasons – Brian Dozier hit a total of 16 home runs. In the past two calendar months, he has hit 18. Dozier's evolution as a power hitter is one of the most remarkable developments in modern Twins hist...4999Mon, 15 Aug 2016 03:39:00 +0000
