As a listener since 2011 (although not quite as consistent a one as I used to be), I can describe it pretty neatly, in broad strokes. We'll...18637Tue, 01 Jul 2025 14:02:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/an-open-letter-to-mlb-fans-this-toxic-behavior-must-stop-r18609/Dear Baseball Fans, We need to talk. The game we love is in trouble, not because of pitch clocks or robot umpires, but because of us. The behavior of a growing portion of Major League Baseball’s fanbase has crossed a line. You may have seen the story: after one of Bailey Ober’s re...18609Tue, 01 Jul 2025 13:05:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/kaelen-culpepper-earns-futures-game-nod-will-be-minnesota-twins-lone-representative-r18628/The MLB All-Star Futures Game has long been a glimpse into baseball’s future. Clayton Kershaw, Mike Trout, Ronald Acuña Jr., and Fernando Tatís Jr. all once stood on that stage, before becoming household names. This year, the Minnesota Twins will be represented by just one player at the showcase...18628Mon, 30 Jun 2025 20:32:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-the-heck-should-minnesota-twins-do-with-bailey-ober-r18618/Bailey Ober used to be one of the surest things on the Minnesota Twins roster. The towering right-hander quietly established himself as a steady force in the rotation, posting ERAs under 4.00 for three consecutive seasons from 2022 through 2024. He avoided major blowups, gave the team consistent...18618Mon, 30 Jun 2025 12:18:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-signs-of-progress-r18624/The Weekly Nutshell: The Minnesota Twins carried their lackluster play from the previous week forward, dropping the first two games against Seattle and extending their losing streak to five. But a big performance from Joe Ryan on Wednesday sparked a refreshing run of excellence from the pitchi...18624Mon, 30 Jun 2025 02:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tigers-3-twins-0-tarik-skubal-carves-up-helpless-twins-offense-r18623/Box Score: Starting Pitcher: Chris Paddack: 4 2/3 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 0 BB 3 K (91 Pitches, 59 Strikes, 64.8%) Home Runs: None Bottom 3 WPA: Brooks Lee (-.128), Paddack (-.114), Byron Buxton (-.089) Win Probability Chart (Via FanGraphs): The Twins somehow had a chance to take a road s...18623Mon, 30 Jun 2025 01:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-decade-later-the-twins-had-one-of-mlbs-biggest-draft-misses-r18553/The MLB Draft is always filled with promise, potential, and projection. For the Minnesota Twins, the 2015 draft offered the rare luxury of a top-10 selection. It was the kind of pick that could shape the franchise’s future for years to come. Unfortunately, it became a selection that fans and fro...18553Sun, 29 Jun 2025 16:24:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/inaction-has-become-the-twins-identity-r18607/There’s no polite way to frame it. The 2025 Minnesota Twins are unraveling. The starting rotation is thin and battered. The lineup is inconsistent and unreliable. The bench offers nothing. And it’s all led to a season on pace to end outside the playoffs for the fourth time in five years. It...18607Sun, 29 Jun 2025 13:22:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-if-the-minnesota-twins-are-sellers-at-the-deadline-r18614/Less than two weeks ago, I wrote that the Twins should pursue a trade for a big bat to bolster the offense. Since then, the complexion has changed a bit, as the team continues to look lost. On Monday, Matt Braun looked at the possibility of a 2018-style retool. However, if the slide continues, f...18614Sun, 29 Jun 2025 11:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tigers-10-twins-5-tigers-get-homer-happy-against-ober-and-the-twins-r18615/Box Score SP: Bailey Ober 5.2 IP, 11 H, 7 ER, 1 BB, 5 K (96 pitches, 69 strikes (72%)) Home Runs: Byron Buxton (19) Bottom 3 WPA: Ober (-.432), Willi Castro (-.074), Carlos Correa (-.064) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs)    Bailey Ober 's June has been one of the worst mon...18615Sat, 28 Jun 2025 19:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/biggest-surprises-of-the-twins-first-half-r18603/As the Minnesota Twins hit the halfway point of the 2025 season, fans are left scratching their heads for good and bad reasons. There have been moments of brilliance and stretches of frustration. But one thing is for sure: this team hasn’t lacked surprises.
