It’s in my blood, to some degree. My great-uncle died of head trauma, after years of wearing beanballs as a barnstormer in the 30s and 40s. He and my grandfather had the chance to play against Satchel Paige and Ted “Double Duty” Radcliff...20965Mon, 17 Aug 2026 22:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/anatomy-of-an-at-bat-kaelen-culpepper-bests-jhoan-duran-r20967/On Sunday, the Twins had watched a five-run lead disappear, and they were staring at a two-run deficit in the bottom of the ninth inning. Waiting on the mound was All-Star and former Twin Jhoan Duran, making Minnesota’s path back into the game even more difficult. With one out, Victor Carat...20967Mon, 17 Aug 2026 16:29:06 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ebbs-and-flows-of-baseball-have-led-kody-funderburk-back-to-prominence-r20962/Demoted to Triple-A St. Paul for the second time this season on June 2, a struggling Kody Funderburk rejoined the Saints, having posted a lousy 5.65 FIP and a -7.3 strikeout-to-walk ratio (meaning he was walking batters considerably more often than striking them out).

Harmon Killebrew, Kirby Puckett, Rod Carew, and Joe Mauer were locks; they got through the gates to baseball immortality relatively easily....20958Mon, 17 Aug 2026 13:05:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-must-change-the-balance-between-luke-keaschalls-bat-and-his-glove-r20960/Luke Keaschall has quickly become one of the more fascinating players on the Twins roster. There is a very clear reason to want him in the lineup, and an equally clear reason to wonder whether the team can actually afford to play him. The good news is that Keaschall has continued to show th...20960Mon, 17 Aug 2026 11:45:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-the-dream-is-fading-r20964/The Weekly Nutshell: The Twins need to get on a run. The past week was the latest instance of their inability to do so. It's a recurring cycle: one impressive breakout game is followed by one or two non-competitive duds to damper any momentum. The Twins have had just one winning streak of more...20964Mon, 17 Aug 2026 01:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/phillies-7-twins-5-this-one-might-have-done-it-r20963/Box Score: Starting Pitcher: Dean Kremer 5 1/3 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 6 K (89 Pitches, 52 Strikes, 58.4%) Home Runs: Brooks Lee (18), Kody Clemens (21) Bottom 3 WPA: Andrew Morris (-0.58), Byron Buxton (-0.19), Ryan Jeffers (-0.11) Win Probability Chart (Via BaseballSavant): For the...20963Sun, 16 Aug 2026 21:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/are-the-twins-really-holding-walker-jenkins-back-to-gain-a-2028-draft-pick-r20956/For weeks, Twins fans have been clamoring for the same thing: Call up Walker Jenkins. It is not hard to understand why. Jenkins, the Minnesota Twins' No. 1 prospect and a top-15 prospect in baseball, has been tearing through Triple-A since his promotion. Since July 15, Jenkins has posted a .934...20956Sun, 16 Aug 2026 14:10:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-can-still-get-value-from-ryan-jeffers-this-winter-r20927/The MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone, and Ryan Jeffers is still wearing a Minnesota Twins uniform.

When you see a 6-foot-9, 260-pound pitcher standing on the mound, the natural assumption is that he is going to overpower hitters with a high-velocity fastball. Ober, however, has never fit that mold. He has built his car...20946Sat, 15 Aug 2026 13:25:02 +0000
