They believe they found part of that answer when they acquired Taj Bradley, and his performance so far this season broadly affirms that. Through 19 starts, he has a 3.85 ERA in 107 2/3 in...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20744</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2026 11:39:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Guardians 13, Twins 4: Cleveland Crush Minnesota as Joe Ryan Endures Historically Rough Outing</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/guardians-13-twins-4-cleveland-crush-minnesota-as-joe-ryan-endures-historically-rough-outing-r20767/</link><description>Box Score

If this team is serious about making a playoff push, the bullpen has to be fixed.

	Last year, the Minnesota Twins came out of the All-Star break with a thud. Chris Paddack coughed up four first-inning runs en route to a 6-4 loss against a Rockies team that was 40 games below .500 &#x2014; the beginning of the end. This year's second half opened on a very differ...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20756</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2026 01:03:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thinking Big: Should the Twins Target Top Closer Mason Miller?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/thinking-big-should-the-twins-target-top-closer-mason-miller-r20747/</link><description>Trade deadline rumors are beginning to heat up, and one of the biggest names on the market could be Padres closer Mason Miller.
