Although he’s likely to work as a long man out of the bullpen if he stays with the Twins, 20 of his 22 appearance...17800Wed, 19 Feb 2025 18:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/carlos-correa-wants-to-lead-a-second-team-to-a-title-how-often-has-that-happened-r17798/On Tuesday, Carlos Correa spoke to the media at Twins spring training on a variety of topics, ranging from injury questions (he’s fine), to Jose Altuve playing left field (“that little man can do anything. He’ll be fine.”). Nestled near the end of the scrum were comments regarding his desire to...17798Wed, 19 Feb 2025 16:12:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/infield-defense-could-be-a-total-disaster-for-the-minnesota-twins-r17799/Last year, Twins first baseman Carlos Santana led all qualified MLB first basemen in Outs Above Average at +14, first out of 40 players, earning him a Gold Glove on his way out the door.

His 2023 season had been an unmitigated disaster. He spent most of the season pitching in Triple A, where he recorded a 4.91 ERA, a 1.50 WHIP, and a 19.3% strikeout rate. His mechanics were inconsistent and stiff,...17794Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:07:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/lets-road-trip-twins-2025-trip-8-tigers-and-marlins-oh-my-r17722/Detroit Tigers - June 27-29 Comerica Park - Capacity 41,083 2024 Attendance: 1,858,295 (Averaged 23,824, ranked 11th out of AL parks, 24th overall MLB) The Twins split a mid-April four-game series at Comerica in early 2024, and actually came away winning the road series in July two game...17722Tue, 18 Feb 2025 20:07:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-cole-ragans-offers-hope-for-a-similarly-talented-twins-southpaw-r17792/After being drafted 30th overall by the Texas Rangers in 2016, Cole Ragans had a good start to his 2017 campaign with Low-A Spokane, carrying a 3.80 FIP and 34.8% strikeout rate at 19 years old. Unfortunately, he left his Aug. 30 start after just 1 ⅔ innings with elbow discomfort.

At times over the past handful of seasons, the Twins have run out full lineups of right-handed hitters against southpaw starters. It’s a strategy that’s given playing time to righties like Kyle Farmer, Manuel Margot, Donovan Solano, Kyle Ga...17784Tue, 18 Feb 2025 00:09:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2025-sire-of-fort-myers-preview-who-will-claim-sports-most-prestigious-honor-r17786/This will be the seventh time we’ve crowned a Sire of Fort Myers.

Sophomore Edouard Julien began the season as the presumptive starter. Unfortunately, he slumped, earning a demotion to Triple-A St. Paul on Jun. 2 after posting a 97 wRC+ over 194 plate appearances.
