Which prospects or veterans will secure a spot or be squeezed out? The conversation can dominate the entire spring. Fans and analysts pore over roster projections while every exhibition lineup gets dissecte...19889Mon, 09 Mar 2026 13:04:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-2026-position-analysis-left-field-r19903/I'm not sure if the Twins will be strong in left field this year. I do feel confident they will be interesting. You've got Trevor Larnach trying to make his last stand, with his presence on the roster feeling almost obstructive at this point. You've got Austin Martin trying to build off his soli...19903Mon, 09 Mar 2026 11:38:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/spring-training-usage-tracker-reading-into-twins-playing-time-trends-r19911/You've heard it plenty of times: spring training performance doesn't matter. That's mostly true, but it doesn't mean we can't draw meaningful conclusions from the games, and the decisions that go into them. I find myself paying attention more to the names on the lineup card than the stats next t...19911Sun, 08 Mar 2026 19:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ranking-minnesotas-post-hype-prospects-r19874/There comes a point in every organization’s development cycle where the shine starts to wear off former top prospects. The tools are still there. The pedigree is still listed on Baseball Reference. The scouting reports still live somewhere in the back of your brain from when you watched their Fu...19874Sun, 08 Mar 2026 10:50:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/could-eric-wagaman-help-make-the-twins-roster-make-sense-r19875/Eric Wagaman was a low-profile acquisition early this winter. His performance with the Marlins and his remaining minor league options left him viewed mostly as Triple-A depth. As spring training progresses, it's worth considering if he can help address lingering questions about the Twins’ openin...19875Sat, 07 Mar 2026 17:27:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/four-lefties-one-big-bullpen-question-r19864/The Minnesota Twins bullpen has a left-handed problem. At least, that’s the question worth asking as Opening Day approaches. On paper, the Twins are lined up to carry a perfectly balanced bullpen in 2026: four right-handed pitchers and four left-handed pitchers. Symmetry looks nice in theor...19864Sat, 07 Mar 2026 14:06:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/luke-keaschall-expands-his-defensive-toolbox-r19884/Flexibility is crucial on a modern baseball roster. The more positions a player can cover, the more likely a manager is to keep a strong bat like Luke Keaschall’s in the Minnesota Twins’ lineup. On Thursday, Keaschall made his first start in the outfield since injuring his elbow two seasons...19884Sat, 07 Mar 2026 12:48:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/for-ober-the-best-news-was-how-good-he-felt-r19892/FORT MYERS - Bailey Ober made his first spring training start Friday night and looked crisp from the outset, tossing two scoreless innings on just 25 pitches, including 19 strikes.
