Whether it’s the chilly winds biting at the ballpark or the lingering rustiness of a lineup still finding its groove, the Twins’ sluggish starts have become a concern.

It was an insurance policy, in case Byron Buxton was injured, much like Michael A. Taylor had been in 2023. In hindsight, though, the deal was a classic case of “all that glitters isn’t gold” for...18021Fri, 04 Apr 2025 14:14:10 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-a-new-take-on-an-old-pitch-may-save-randy-dobnaks-career-r18029/In a game where every pitch counts, Randy Dobnak could be on the cusp of reinventing his career with one new weapon in his arsenal, a pitch called the kick-change.
