A tall boy from small-town Minnesota rarely gets an opportunity at the big-league level, and Thielbar has been granted more than one chance to be an essential part of the contending team’s bullpens. His journey with the Twins spanned two different eras,...17560Thu, 02 Jan 2025 16:10:08 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-it-time-for-the-minnesota-twins-to-reassess-the-amount-of-platooning-they-do-r17551/  As the Minnesota Twins head into the 2025 season, the team faces critical decisions about its roster construction and game-day strategies.

However, with the departures of Kyle Farmer, Carlos Santana, and Max Kepler...17551Thu, 02 Jan 2025 14:14:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-rocco-baldelli-a-lame-duck-manager-in-2025-r17561/At the end of the 2024 season, following an all-out collapse that saw them fumble away their surefire playoff bid, the Minnesota Twins announced that both chief baseball exec Derek Falvey and manager Rocco Baldelli would be returning in 2025. In fact, the Twins deepened their commitment to Falve...17561Thu, 02 Jan 2025 12:47:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/jhoan-duran-trade-dodgers-feduccia-casparius/The Minnesota Twins and Los Angeles Dodgers almost seem to exist on different planes. Offseason after offseason, Los Angeles has pursued and signed the priciest, most sought-after free agents on the market, while Minnesota has been forced to sift through the secondary and tertiary market, invest...17555Wed, 01 Jan 2025 12:49:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-25-most-viewed-twins-daily-articles-of-2024-part-5-1-5-r17556/Over the past several days, we have been counting down the Top 25 most-viewed articles in 2024. As I've written, I personally really enjoy looking back and seeing what our readers most enjoyed and what articles brought people to the site.

He's set to cost them about twice as much as Jeffers in 2025, and while he's a far superior defender to Jeffers, it's the young...17557Tue, 31 Dec 2024 13:23:57 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-25-most-viewed-twins-daily-articles-of-2024-part-4-6-10-r17554/Jorge Polanco and Max Kepler clearly had a lot of fans in the Twins organization and among Twins fandom. With 15-16 years in the organization, seeing them heading elsewhere certainly has an effect on readers. Player leaving. Ownership cutting payroll significantly. Hoping for a new television de...17554Mon, 30 Dec 2024 17:11:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/3-twins-to-watch-for-potential-regression-in-2025-r17543/As the Minnesota Twins look to rebound in 2025, their success hinges on several key players replicating their standout performances from a year ago. However, regression is a natural part of baseball, and some players are more likely to take a step back than others.
