This club appears to have its sights set fully on a target somewhere further down the line. Among fans and media, there seems to be a split between people who q...1134Mon, 21 Jan 2013 04:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mlb-teams-slyly-raising-spring-training-ticket-prices-r1133/Do you have plans to get away from the cold and snow and feel the sand between your toes, the sun on your back, and hopefully catch some Twins spring training baseball in Florida? What better way to forget your problems and get away from it all? Well, if you are going, you might want to raise your c...1133Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/campaign-elect-joe-mauer-for-2-hitter-r1132/Earlier last week, I looked at the Minnesota Twins possible candidates for the leadoff hitter role in 2013.

Why, you ask, might the Twins invest almost a million dollars in a player who is completely...1130Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/for-better-or-worse-justin-morneau-r1129/Justin Morneau presents a paradox for the 2013 Twins. If the club is truly in full rebuild mode and is more interested in saving money than taking financial risks in a meaningful effort to compete -- as appears to be the case -- then why hang on to an expensive veteran with one year left on his cont...1129Fri, 18 Jan 2013 06:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-and-former-twins-in-the-world-baseball-classic-r1127/On Thursday, the 2013 World Baseball Classic rosters were announced.

It has to do with the quantity of pitchers the Twins are bringing to camp. Though the Twins are bringing a franchise-record 34 pitchers to Major L...1125Wed, 16 Jan 2013 23:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/live-chat-with-seth-tonight-at-7-r1123/Tonight at 7, Seth Stohs will be answering your Twins-related questions here at Twins Daily.

Myers for spring training, with eyes on claiming a spot in Minnesota's rebuilt rotation. Rarely has it been so unclear at this point in the offseason who would comprise this vital unit. We can safely assume that, barring in...1121Wed, 16 Jan 2013 05:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/they-came-to-play-r1119/The major league baseball season is a real grind.
