The idea was that, in a game often defined by failure, you've got to focus on the successes and wins where you can.  Foreseeing plenty of failure as I looked ahead to this Twins season, it was a mi...20499Fri, 12 Jun 2026 11:37:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/which-twins-utility-infielder-should-stick-around-a-while-r20492/The Twins currently have a revolving door at shortstop, with journeyman utility players they can’t keep for much longer—if for no other reason, then because none of them fit that role well enough to lock it down. Having one such player is understandable, but the Twins are currently rostering thr...20492Thu, 11 Jun 2026 22:13:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tigers-11-twins-0-yikes-yuck-other-words-r20498/Box Score SP: Zebby Matthews - 6 IP, 9 H, 7 R, 1 BB, 4 K (81 pitches, 51 strikes (63% strikes)) Home Runs: None Bottom 3 WPA: Zebby Matthews (-0.22), Brooks Lee (-0.06), Tristan Gray (-0.05) Win Probability Chart The Twins entered Thursday’s series finale against the Tigers in...20498Thu, 11 Jun 2026 19:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/royce-lewis-forced-his-way-back-now-comes-the-hard-part-r20485/For years, Royce Lewis represented possibility. He was the first overall pick. The face of the next competitive Twins core.

After a mini-breakout during his rookie campaign a year ago, it looked like Minnesota had found its long-term answer at second base. Keaschall hit .302 with an .827 OPS last year, showed elite bat-to-ball...20483Wed, 10 Jun 2026 22:10:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/theres-an-awful-lot-riding-on-the-shoulders-of-kaelen-culpepper-r20489/There's a growing buzz throughout the Twins sphere that Kaelen Culpepper's arrival in the majors is imminent. A promotion would certainly be warranted — the 23-year-old has been on fire in Triple-A, slashing .391/.481/.696 here in June after posting a .947 OPS in May.

If Minnesota decides to sell, teams will undoubtedly call about Joe Ryan. Ryan Jeffers could draw interest from clubs looking for help behind the plate, and Byron Buxt...20461Wed, 10 Jun 2026 17:04:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-josh-bell-cooked-or-ready-to-break-out-r20477/Josh Bell wasn't brought to Minnesota to save runs with his glove. The Twins signed the veteran switch-hitter to a one-year, $7-million contract because they believed his bat could deepen the lineup. Through the first 65 games of the season, that investment hasn't paid off.
