At the same time, there are some reasons for concern, such as that much of the early turbulence can be chalked up to small...18041Sat, 05 Apr 2025 13:20:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-slow-start-shows-things-arent-different-enough-r18040/Spring training was all about how it would be different. Different than the 12-27 finish that ended the Twins' season and plunged them to fourth place in the AL Central. Less individual work. More team drills and meetings. Less swinging for the fences. More putting the ball in play. Less re...18040Sat, 05 Apr 2025 11:45:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/one-year-later-reviewing-the-manuel-margot-trade-r18021/The Twins' trade for Manuel Margot was supposed to be a timely upgrade for the center-field picture. 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. Baseball, as we know it, is in a constant state of evolution.

He slashed .325/.366/.522 in the first half, but suffered a back injury and posted a .543 OPS to finish the season. As a result, the Twins didn’t trust him to become the full-time first ba...18030Thu, 03 Apr 2025 13:31:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/breaking-up-with-the-pohlads-ranking-the-future-options-for-the-minnesota-twins-r17991/Change is (hopefully) coming for the Minnesota Twins, and fans seem more than ready. The chatter around the current ownership’s potential move to sell the team has been as heated as a nail-biter at Target Field. As the debate continues, let’s break down the three potential outcomes for the Pohla...17991Thu, 03 Apr 2025 11:35:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-6-white-sox-1-twins-bats-stay-hot-to-win-series-r18031/Box Score SP: Pablo López 7 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K (98 pitches, 67 strikes (68.3%)) Home Runs: Byron Buxton (1), Harrison Bader (3) Top 3 WPA: Pablo López .237, Harrison Bader .223, Byron Buxton .116 Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) The Twins got off to a hot start,...18031Wed, 02 Apr 2025 23:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/whats-wrong-with-the-minnesota-twins-approach-at-the-plate-r18027/I know, I know: you hate strikeouts. When they come in bunches, they can be frustrating. Swords? Forget about it. Ugly. A strikeout looking with a runner on? Brutal. What if all the strikeouts aren’t the problem, though?
