Their lineup was already crowded, with Heston Kjerstad on the bench in most formulations of the lineup and Coby Mayo stuck at Triple-A Norfolk, meaning a piec...17739Thu, 06 Feb 2025 14:37:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/matt-wallner-trevor-larnach-meet-your-new-platoon-partner-harrison-bader-r17737/Every offseason, fans have somewhere between opined for and expected the Twins to add a platoon corner outfielder.

Last month, Seth Stohs looked at the team’s projected roster, but there have been some changes since that point. Let’s take a look at the projected Opening Day roster a...17728Thu, 06 Feb 2025 00:10:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-can-the-minnesota-twins-expect-from-harrison-bader-r17735/Since waiving Jake Cave following the 2022 season, the Twins have rotated their fourth outfield role, trading for Michael A. Taylor to be that guy in 2023 and Manuel Margot to do the same in 2024. Now, they're signing Harrison Bader ahead of the 2025 season. Like each of those moves, prioritizin...17735Wed, 05 Feb 2025 19:14:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/breaking-twins-agree-to-one-year-deal-with-outfielder-harrison-bader-r17734/The Minnesota Twins have agreed to sign center fielder Harrison Bader per Jon Heyman. Bader adds another useful skill set for the team, bringing in a right-handed hitting veteran outfielder known for his defense and speed.

There are always flaws with this type of voting, but the Twins did well at some positions, while other players were undervalued.

That is to say, we might assume that the stronger the outfield arm, the more conservative baserunners will be. However, while that might prove mostly...17717Wed, 05 Feb 2025 00:06:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-return-of-the-short-king-say-hello-to-a-different-danny-coulombe-r17706/Minnesota Twins fans know Danny Coulombe, in the sense that he has put on a Twins jersey in the recent past.
