Where can they add? Where can they subtract? Who do they trust? What kinds of shakeups are on the table, within...17252Tue, 22 Oct 2024 12:30:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offseason-handbook-preview-should-griffin-jax-get-another-shot-to-start-r17191/Griffin Jax has found a niche in the Twins' bullpen, but could the team consider giving him another shot as a starter? His journey to becoming one of the league’s best relievers has been full of ups and downs. After initially being developed as a starter, Jax transitioned to the bullpen in 2022...17191Tue, 22 Oct 2024 11:23:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/willi-castro-is-worth-more-than-war-can-say-r17249/Okay, maybe “changes the definition” is a bit extreme, but stick with me here. A Willi Castro-type player alters team construction and decision-making in a way that’s unique to a small subset of players, even if he’s not an elite player in and of himself. The Twins have a decision ahead of...17249Mon, 21 Oct 2024 23:03:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offseason-primer-the-guardians-have-some-question-marks-headed-into-2025-r17250/The fact that the Guardians made it to late October is a bit surprising, given the underlying numbers they put up over the course of the season. Their hitters were 17th in baseball in wOBA and had an exactly-average 100 wRC+. They got negative value from baserunning. They were 13th in position p...17250Mon, 21 Oct 2024 13:05:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/randy-dobnaks-journey-back-a-2025-role-in-sight-r17241/  Randy Dobnak's story has been filled with the twists and turns typical of an undrafted free agent, along with his rise to the big leagues that came faster than anyone could have expected. From an Uber-driving minor leaguer to a fan-favorite starting pitcher, his early success with the Twi...17241Sun, 20 Oct 2024 14:17:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/3-speedy-free-agents-who-could-jumpstart-the-twins-sluggish-offense-r17239/As the dust settles on the 2024 season, one glaring statistic stands out for the Minnesota Twins: they were the slowest team in baseball. Finishing dead last in stolen bases with just 65, the Twins capped off their seventh consecutive season in the bottom 10 for swiping bags. On top of that, the...17239Sat, 19 Oct 2024 18:10:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/in-the-enclosed-green-field-twins-visit-red-sox-at-2005-trade-deadline-r17240/Every year, even before baseball has quite stopped, I start missing it. I know that's silly, but it's very much how I'm wired. One part of me likes that the game has an offseason, and not because I savor the daily pining and hand-wringing if trades don't flow like the waters of the Mississippi....17240Sat, 19 Oct 2024 14:09:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/3-reasons-why-the-twins-are-a-more-attractive-buy-than-the-white-sox-r17235/With the 2024 MLB season in the rearview mirror, two iconic AL Central franchises find themselves at a crossroads. Both the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox are at least exploring the possibility of a sale, which would be the first such change in at least 40 years for each club. For p...17235Fri, 18 Oct 2024 16:09:52 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-was-the-point-of-signing-carlos-correa-r17237/To say the Pohlad family went out of their comfort zone when they signed Carlos Correa to a $200 million contract in January of 2023 would be an understatement. It was the largest free-agent contract they'd ever signed by a margin of more than $100 million. Two prior contract agreements elsewher...17237Fri, 18 Oct 2024 14:35:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/reminder-unless-you-are-on-the-payroll-you-dont-have-to-defend-the-pohlads-r17238/There have been many words written in the last week about the stunning announcement that the Twins were for sale. Most of them have been reasonable, clear-eyed assessments of the Pohlad family’s stewardship of the local franchise, warts and all, and what the future might hold. However....17238Fri, 18 Oct 2024 13:09:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-have-a-first-base-problem-r17224/I’m just going to cut to the chase: Justin Morneau in 2009. That’s the last time that a Twins’ primary first baseman has been a scary dude in the middle of a lineup. Seriously. Technically, Morneau was also a lethal bat in 2010, but because of the midseason concussion that cut short a poten...17224Fri, 18 Oct 2024 11:23:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/max-keplers-departure-and-the-expected-decline-of-the-twins-outfield-defense-r17234/As the Minnesota Twins enter the 2025 season, one of the team's most significant offseason questions centers on replacing Max Kepler. His departure in free agency will create an undeniable void, especially on the defensive side. The Twins' outfield has been a defensive stronghold for several sea...17234Thu, 17 Oct 2024 17:14:02 +0000
