They are overlooking his meteoric rise – from Eighth round draft pick to the majors in two years, which was fueled by an inc...17826Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:18:38 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/lets-road-trip-twins-2025-trip-10-division-rivals-time-r17732/Cleveland Guardians - August 1-3 Progressive Field – Capacity 34,830 2024 attendance: 2,056,264 (Averaged 26,028, ranked 9th out of 15 AL parks, 20th overall MLB) By this point in the season, the Twins will have already played seven games against the rival Guardians, so if they need to...17732Sat, 22 Feb 2025 20:00:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/make-or-break-players-on-the-2025-twins-kody-funderburk-r17789/The potential success of the 2025 Twins’ season largely rests on the shoulders of its best players, and it’s those players that provide a very solid floor for the team to win 70 or more games. It’s the contributions of the role players that elevate any team from a fringe competitive team to a te...17789Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:22:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ishbia-out-justin-ishbia-no-longer-candidate-to-purchase-twins-r17824/On the eve of the 2025 Minnesota Twins spring training opener, big news surfaced online. The news would presumably shock the Pohlad family, and it is likely to  be incredibly disappointing for Minnesota Twins fans.  Justin Ishbia, the billionaire businessman and private investor, has notifi...17824Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/could-jorge-alcal%C3%A1-begin-the-season-at-triple-a-r17809/Entering the 2025 MLB regular season, the Minnesota Twins' greatest area of strength is their bullpen.

Nine months from now, he will either have cemented himself as a key part of the Twins’ plans, or he will likely be out of the organization as he will be out of options and behind a number of other players on the depth chart.

From kicking off the 2024 campaign with a monstrous home run to dealing with injuries (as usual) and slumps (not so familiar), the 26-year-old has had quite the ride since being drafted in 2017.

The first point is largely unfounded, as analytics are here to stay, and lead to teams like the Rays and Guardians outperforming expect...17808Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:23:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-model-for-a-90-win-twins-team-this-year-even-with-injuries-r17807/When I look over the Twins roster, I see a lot of cause for concern on the position-player side.
