Five Twins have the potential to earn their first career All-Star nods this season. Each player has flashed that kind of ability, and with continued growth, they could fin...17699Wed, 12 Feb 2025 18:07:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/previewing-minnesota-twins-2025-spring-training-battles-r17765/Derek Falvey and the Twins front office have been busy the last couple of weeks, locking down a lefty reliever (Danny Coulombe), a fourth outfielder (Harrison Bader), and a right-handed hitter with experience at first base (Ty France). With those players virtually guaranteed to make the team out...17765Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:12:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-emphasizing-depth-charges-like-ty-france-the-right-offseason-strategy-r17764/The Twins signed Ty France to a one-year big-league deal on Wednesday, and he’ll likely see quite a bit of time at first base to begin the season. France may have experience at first base, but he doesn't offer any more defensive competence, athleticism, or offensive upside than Jose Miranda, who...17764Wed, 12 Feb 2025 12:24:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/sticking-to-the-plan-how-the-minnesota-twins-quantify-game-calling-r17760/This very topic came up when Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic and our own John Bonnes were interviewing Ryan Jeffers at the Twins Daily Winter Meltdown. Gleeman was specifically asking Jeffers about learning new pitchers (i.e. when David Festa was promoted) and how the game plan is formed...17760Wed, 12 Feb 2025 00:12:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/news-twins-agree-to-sign-infielder-ty-france-r17762/The Minnesota Twins have added another bat to their array of infield options, agreeing to sign Ty France to a one-year deal, according to Phil Miller of the Minnesota Star-Tribune. France, 30, figures to fill some version of the role that went to Carlos Santana in 2024 and Donovan Sol...17762Tue, 11 Feb 2025 20:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-first-base-2025-jose-miranda-edouard-julien/I keep hearing name after name being suggested as a first-base option for the 2025 Twins. A year ago, the Twins brought in veteran Carlos Santana on a one-year, $5-million deal. The then-37-year-old had a strong season, posting a .749 OPS with 26 doubles and 23 home runs. He was tremendous defen...17757Tue, 11 Feb 2025 17:13:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/new-twins-ownership-could-make-a-splash-by-locking-up-core-talent-r17759/A new era is coming for the Minnesota Twins. Sometime in the first half of 2025, the franchise is expected to change hands, and while the new ownership group’s vision remains unknown, one thing seems inevitable: they’ll want to make an immediate impact. One way to do that? Locking in the team’s...17759Tue, 11 Feb 2025 15:08:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-enter-camp-with-a-healthy-outlook-for-a-change-r17752/Let's start by putting this out there: jinxes aren't real. I feel like any time a topic such as this is broached, people get panicked and upset as if merely speaking on the situation will cause it to change. Maybe that just ties back to the superstitious ethos of baseball. Knock on wood if...17752Tue, 11 Feb 2025 12:36:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-non-roster-invitees-include-prospects-luke-keaschall-andrew-morris-cory-lewis-r17758/Luke Keaschall is the team’s No. 3 prospect and a top-100 overall prospect in affiliated pro ball. That status alone makes him noteworthy, but his inclusion is also significant because it seems to be a positive sign that he’s close to fully recovered from Tommy John surgery. He went under the kn...17758Mon, 10 Feb 2025 19:10:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-the-twins-make-a-last-minute-push-for-one-of-these-veteran-first-basemen-r17756/Over the weekend, the Minnesota Star Tribune's Bobby Nightengale published an article titled "Twins, granted a little more money to spend, seek to fortify roster depth."

The front office collectively spent about $10 million of its limited funds...17748Mon, 10 Feb 2025 14:32:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-harrison-bader-precisely-the-wrong-player-for-the-twins-right-now-r17754/On Wednesday, the Twins reportedly addressed their most glaring need by signing Harrison Bader to a one-year contract for a bit over $6 million. He provides terrific outfield defense and a platoon bat to face left-handed pitchers. With Austin Martin and Michael Helman as the only internal option...17754Mon, 10 Feb 2025 12:36:02 +0000
