Entering Friday night’s game against the Astros, the Twins offense ranked 21st in both runs scored and wRC+. The starting pitching has been horrific even by recent Twins standards, ranking last in ERA (5.18), last in xFIP...1909Sat, 03 Aug 2013 11:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nothing-will-keep-us-together-twins-versus-royals-games-102-104-r1905/The Way the Ball Bounces (Twins 2 Royals 7 – Game 102) With the trade talk making the Minnesota Twins look like the garage sale everybody drives past, baseball kept being baseball.

I may also be that other someone. It's not a big deal. Justin Morneau recently passed Bob Allison for fourth all-time in Twins' career home runs. Of course, he's still behind Allison in franchise history, but whatever.

Aaron Hicks was going to be the rookie phenom who served as the harbinger of the bright future ahead. The Twins, configured with a mixture of productive vets and talented youngsters, were go...1901Fri, 02 Aug 2013 03:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/target-field-has-been-kind-to-sam-deduno-r1900/Entrenched in the middle of another losing season, it can be tough to look at the Twins roster and find positives. Disappointment abounds, but there is good mixed in with all the bad. Sam Deduno fits here. He was a pleasant surprise for the 2012 Twins team and that still didn't save his spot on th...1900Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-rundown-butera-heads-west-r1899/The Twins barely managed to avoid a shutout Wednesday afternoon, dealing catcher Drew Butera to the Dodgers for a PTBNL just before the 4:00 p.m. ET deadline passed. Drafted by the Mets in 2005, Butera has spent the past six years in the Twins organization. He has been up and down with the club ove...1899Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/drew-butera-traded-to-the-dodgers-r1896/Several minutes after the 3:00 central time trade deadline, reports trickled in that the Minnesota Twins had traded catcher Drew Butera to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The reports indicate that the Twins will receive the ever-popular Player to be Named Later. As of now, that will mean the Twins have op...1896Wed, 31 Jul 2013 20:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/with-trade-deadline-looming-twins-brian-duensing-prepares-for-anything-r1894/Left-handed relievers are valuable if under-appreciated members of society. You know, like oxygen. While they may seem ubiquitous and always available, a team could get killed if it doesn't have any. They have a certain vampiric quality to them as they are seemingly able to last forever while contin...1894Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/20-twins-trades-welcome-to-punto-country-r1893/There was blood in the water. A.J. Pierzynski was still warm. The Twins had just turned one soon-to-be-expensive player into three shiny new parts, each carrying a much smaller price tag. The Twins were carrying a seven-figure pitcher who was going to get even more expensive. Why not swap him fo...1893Wed, 31 Jul 2013 11:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/deduno-defies-convention-r1890/I've been bullish on Samuel Deduno, and it's been a point of disagreement between myself and some other generally like-minded Twins writers. Aaron Gleeman has repeatedly warned against buying into the right-hander's small-sample success and the Geek recently lamented the idea of a long-term contract...1890Wed, 31 Jul 2013 02:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/which-twins-are-most-likely-to-be-traded-r1888/There are Top 10 lists for everything: prospect lists, all-time greatest Philly cheese steaks.
