Bouncing between the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago White Sox, Tampa Bay, and now Minnesota since the beginning of the 2025 season, G&#xF3;mez has embodied the nomadic relie...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20295</guid><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2026 17:09:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Nine Deals, One Clear Win: Revisiting the Twins' 2025 Trade Deadline</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nine-deals-one-clear-win-revisiting-the-twins-2025-trade-deadline-r20279/</link><description>The Minnesota Twins spent last summer&#x2019;s trade deadline walking a fine line between cutting payroll, reshaping the roster, and trying to remain competitive in the future. Now that the 2026 season is underway, it is much easier to evaluate those deals based on their actual impact rather than on de...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20279</guid><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2026 12:20:06 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Week in Review: Buxton vs. The World</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-buxton-vs-the-world-r20291/</link><description>The Weekly Nutshell:

	It's becoming a weekly trend for the Minnesota Twins: they start and finish strong, with a whole lot of ugliness in between.
