While the reports are still unconfirmed, according to an article in Sport LivePR from November 18, Rosario had informed his winter league tea...2178Tue, 19 Nov 2013 18:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-episode-120-moving-mauer-and-wedding-balls-r2175/Aaron and John talk about Joe Mauer moving from catcher to first base, being sponsored by another Twins podcast, the Twins' odds of actually signing Ricky Nolasco or another big-money free agent pitcher, recapping Dave Chappelle's marathon show at First Avenue, Jason Bartlett rejoining the Twins,...2175Sun, 17 Nov 2013 19:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-making-a-ampquotstrong-pushampquot-for-nolasco-r2173/Employment is not difficult to find if you are a moderately successfully and young starting pitcher in major league baseball. As an example, Ricky Nolasco has several four-year offers in discussion and, as Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal pointed out this morning, the Twins are making a strong push for his...2173Fri, 15 Nov 2013 19:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/finding-mauers-replacement-part-2-r2172/So the Twins have a problem. For the first time since A.J. Pierzynski first established himself as a regular, the club lacks an entrenched stalwart behind the plate. As discussed earlier this week, the solution might be in-house, but that's far from guaranteed. The timing of the announcement regard...2172Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/my-top-10-minnesota-twins-starting-pitching-targets-r2171/I've been writing so much about free agency lately, it's sick! Last week, I addressed the position players the Twins should target. This week, I've been counting down my top 30 starting pitching targets for the Twins. If you missed any of this mini-dynasty, I'll provide you some links below.

Feel free to scroll down until you see the big red “TL;DR”.

One name I think we will hear a lot about is lefty Scott Kazmir. In 2013 with Cleveland he went 10-9 with a 4.04 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP. There is certainly a lot of risk, but he will be 30 through the...2169Thu, 14 Nov 2013 05:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/starting-pitching-trade-target-jeff-samardzija-r2168/A week ago, I looked at the available starting pitchers who are free agents and I distilled the long list of names to three who the MInnesota Twins should target this off-season. The premise is that other than Alex Meyer and maybe Kyle Gibson, the Twins do not have any "sure bets" for the top of the...2168Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/finding-mauers-replacement-part-1-r2167/I'm not a doctor. I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Nonetheless, it's been clear to me for some time that Joe Mauer was destined for a permanent move away from catcher after concussion issues cost him a quarter of his 2013 season. There was simply no way that continuing to expo...2167Wed, 13 Nov 2013 00:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/hangout-with-seth-and-jeremy-r2166/2166Tue, 12 Nov 2013 23:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ron-gardenhire-discusses-joe-mauers-decision-r2165/The Twins surprised everyone yesterday but announcing that Joe Mauer has made the decision to relocate to first base after spending his career as one of the game’s best two-way catchers. Comments from Twins general manager Terry Ryan in October made it clear that the team was not totally anticipatin...2165Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rumors-and-expectations-r2164/The baseball offseason can be a lot of fun for rumor mongers. It is always interesting to hear what rumors are going around, particularly about the Minnesota Twins. Maybe it’s the cynic in me, but I have to take everything I read in the offseason with a little grain of salt, at least until things ha...2164Tue, 12 Nov 2013 06:21:00 +0000
