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. Can you believe it!? It feels like just yesterday we witnessed Sire LaMarre go from scrappy longshot to making the Opening Day roster and becoming the Hero In Puerto Rico.

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.

Sometimes their impact is massive, like in the case of Willi Castro, who made the roster out of spring training in 2023 after signing a minor-league deal, and has si...17785Mon, 17 Feb 2025 12:37:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-the-ty-france-deal-riskier-than-it-seems-for-the-twins-r17781/The last time Ty France put up a strong offensive stat line for a first baseman was in 2022. When the Twins signed him to a minuscule, non-guaranteed deal this week, it made good sense. At 30 years old, France could have a bounce-back performance, and the Twins needed some competition for José M...17781Sun, 16 Feb 2025 23:04:34 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/lets-road-trip-twins-2025-trip-7-texas-ohio-two-step-r17721/Houston Astros - June 13-15 Minute Maid Park - Capacity 41,168 2024 Attendance: 2,835,234 (Averaged 35,002, ranked 2nd of 15 AL teams and 8th overall) In 2024 the Twins took two of three at Minute Maid, matching their 2023 series victory.  Minute Maid Park became the home of the Astros...17721Sun, 16 Feb 2025 18:06:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offseason-status-update-springing-into-action-r17780/As the calendar pages flipped from November to December, from January to February, the Twins front office remained idle, constrained by payroll limitations and a challenging market.

The resulting contract – a non-guaranteed deal worth $1M – reflects the ups and downs that free agency holds for the majority of MLB players.
