We talked to Kyle Waldrop about what it was like to finally getting his first big league opportunity after spending eight seasons in the Twins system. He discussed what he did in the offseason to improve and what...81Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/sethspeaksnet-weekly-minnesota-twins-podcast-live-at-900-central-time-r79/OK, so the show hasn’t been exactly weekly of late.

At least it is for me. I actually really enjoy the offseason. I love hearing rumors, and trying to think about what the Twins could do, and what they will do. Who will they sign? Will there be a trade? From the end of the World Series until...75Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/al-central-preview-chicago-white-sox-r74/Sometimes I wonder if the Twins actually have a true “rivalry” with any other MLB team.

Spring Training is right around the corner, and I bet you can't wait. I know I can't. And, by now, it kind of looks like the Twins are done adding pl...72Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-sign-bas-indy-league-mvp-r71/The Twins have signed 28-year-old Chris Colabello to a minor league deal.
