He slashed .325/.366/.522 in the first half, but suffered a back injury and posted a .543 OPS to finish the season. As a result, the Twins didn&#x2019;t trust him to become the full-time first ba...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">18030</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Apr 2025 13:31:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Breaking Up with the Pohlads: Ranking the Future Options for the Minnesota Twins</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/breaking-up-with-the-pohlads-ranking-the-future-options-for-the-minnesota-twins-r17991/</link><description>Change is (hopefully) coming for the Minnesota Twins, and fans seem more than ready.
