It seems like Mat Ishbia is on board with that premise. Today, he tweeted this: He followed that up by...17521Thu, 19 Dec 2024 14:30:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/are-cubs-and-twins-a-good-match-in-a-willi-castro-trade-r17518/Willi Castro is a uniquely valuable player and has been vital to the Twins roster for the last two years. Unfortunately, due to budgetary constraints, he’s one of the many players who could be on the move this winter. If they dump his contract, the Chicago Cubs appear to be a perfect fit for the...17518Thu, 19 Dec 2024 00:04:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-can-recent-history-tell-us-about-simeon-woods-richardsons-age-23-season%E2%80%94and-what-comes-next-r17516/Here’s a simple question I asked myself the other day: How could we analyze Simeon Woods Richardson’s season in the context of his age?

While they are still young and deserve a chance to prove otherwise, there are major concerns around their ability to face left-handed pitching. If the Twins weren't in a co...17517Wed, 18 Dec 2024 12:39:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/statcasts-new-baserunning-metric-highlights-twins-roster-construction-flaw-r17512/Statcast has provided fans with an inside look at some of the metrics teams have had access to in recent years.
