That status alone makes him noteworthy, but his inclusion is also significant because it seems to be a positive sign that he’s close to fully recovered from Tommy John surgery. He went under the kn...17758Mon, 10 Feb 2025 19:10:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-the-twins-make-a-last-minute-push-for-one-of-these-veteran-first-basemen-r17756/Over the weekend, the Minnesota Star Tribune's Bobby Nightengale published an article titled "Twins, granted a little more money to spend, seek to fortify roster depth."

The front office collectively spent about $10 million of its limited funds...17748Mon, 10 Feb 2025 14:32:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-harrison-bader-precisely-the-wrong-player-for-the-twins-right-now-r17754/On Wednesday, the Twins reportedly addressed their most glaring need by signing Harrison Bader to a one-year contract for a bit over $6 million. He provides terrific outfield defense and a platoon bat to face left-handed pitchers. With Austin Martin and Michael Helman as the only internal option...17754Mon, 10 Feb 2025 12:36:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/hall-of-fame-hope-how-the-2025-inductions-impact-three-former-twins-r17715/The 2025 Hall of Fame voting cycle brought long-awaited triumph for some and lingering uncertainty for others. Three former Twins players were impacted in multiple ways, from Billy Wagner’s dramatic election to Torii Hunter’s narrow survival on the ballot. Meanwhile, the precedent set by CC Saba...17715Sun, 09 Feb 2025 18:18:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/willi-castros-value-to-the-twins-is-getting-harder-to-see-r17750/Personally I think it's a stretch to say Willi Castro was the Most Valuable Player on the Minnesota Twins in 2024, as selected by the local chapter of the BBWAA for the Diamond Awards. Our choice at Twins Daily was Carlos Correa. (Mine personally was Griffin Jax.) But the case for Castro is...17750Sun, 09 Feb 2025 14:07:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/lets-road-trip-twins-2025-trip-6-7321-miles-to-victory-r17720/Tampa Bay Rays - May 26-28 George M.

At last month’s Diamond Awards, manager Rocco Baldelli floated the idea of Castro seeing time at first base in 2025, which is a...17747Sat, 08 Feb 2025 14:03:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-differentiated-harrison-bader-from-the-field-of-rh-outfield-bats-r17745/It's been a busy week for a very specific free-agent market: right-handed swinging outfielders who are fringe starters and more likely destined for backup/platoon roles.
