Twins

This offseason the Minnesota Twins primary goal was to secure Carlos Correa’s services for the long haul. They needed some help from the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants to get it done, but ultimately he wound up staying for the future. After a slow start to his season, it appears the former World Series champion may be turning it on.

The Twins might look back on the 2019 MLB Draft with some regret. Let's reflect on the team's decisions that year and how the players have performed so far in their professional careers.

The author would like to note that he conceived this piece prior to Minnesota’s comeback victory over the Astros on Monday.

The Twins came into Tuesday night's game at Houston feeling over the moon after the come from behind victory on what will be forever known as "Royce Lewis Day." They ended tonight's game being placed firmly back to Earth. Here's how it all went down.

'Tis the season for mock drafts and the one on ESPN Tuesday morning is sure to cause consternation around Twins Territory.

Byron Buxton has been healthy and productive at DH. If he stays there, what could the Twins plan for centerfield in 2024 be?

In the coming weeks, we’ll spend some time going in-depth on players who the Twins could target with their first pick at number five. We’ll start by profiling some hitters, before looking at pitchers next week. For each installment, we’ll use the positions of players on the Consensus Board as a proxy for who they might take, as opposed to trying to predict what each team will actually do. The goal is to give a flavor of the kind of talent and options that might be around when that pick hits, as we all know trying to predict the draft is perilous at best.

This winter the Twins chose not only to hang onto their overwhelming depth of left-handed corner outfield bats but to add to the group. Finally, as they approach June, they’re starting to feel the effects.

The Minnesota Twins showcased a storybook return from Royce Lewis on Memorial Day. Lewis performance and an extra-inning Ryan Jeffers home run highlighted a series opening win. 

On Wednesday, the Minnesota Twins turned to their closer in a game that they had well in hand. Despite a 7-1 lead, Jhoan Duran hadn’t pitched since the weekend and an off day was on the docket. With little to hold back, he uncorked a 104.8 mph fastball, the hardest throw of his career. That settled the debate, hitting a baseball is unfathomably hard.

The Twins need to find their heart in hostile territory, as they make a quick trip to Houston to face the juggernaut Astros in a three-game series. Will the return of Royce Lewis provide the spark that the team needs? Or will another round of low scoring losses send the Twins into second place in the division?

The Twins brought home the California sunshine from their West Coast road trip, playing in gorgeous conditions under sunny skies all week at Target Field.

Unfortunately, they also brought home their on-field trend of lethargic and lackluster play, which led to another losing week and growing rancor in the fanbase.
