One might expect teams like the Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs, and Red Sox to be the main subjects of baseball-related movies, and they are. But, the Twins just might be the mo...17387Mon, 18 Nov 2024 19:53:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/christian-vazquez-trade-candidate-salary/Christian Vázquez was signed during the 2022-23 offseason to a three-year, $30-million contract, which looked like a solid value for a backstop coming off a season in which he hit .274/.315/.399 and was worth 2.1 WAR. Notably, he was brilliant with the Red Sox in the first half of the season (.7...17384Mon, 18 Nov 2024 17:14:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-dont-we-see-recently-drafted-pitchers-throw-in-affiliated-games-r17374/After a prospect signs, their first stop will be the Twins complex in Fort Myers, Florida. While our orientation as fans is to want to see a prospect in game action as soon as possible, that’s not the priority of the organization—nor should it be. The focus of the org is on building pitcher...17374Mon, 18 Nov 2024 16:10:54 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/youre-the-minnesota-twins-gm-plotting-my-offseason-a-flurry-of-moves-r17378/This series of articles is a primer on the release of our new "You're The Twins GM!" tool where you play the role of Derek Falvey and build your own Twins offseason.

But let me have this hook (Vazquez has caught 150 innings more in total over the last two years in the Twins alternating setup, anyway). What's Up with Ryan Jeffers Jeffers just...17372Sat, 16 Nov 2024 17:34:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/will-the-twins-trade-young-arms-for-young-bats-4-hitters-they-could-target-r17375/The Minnesota Twins have spent years cultivating a young core of pitchers to carry the team through the next era of competitive baseball. With the big-league club on the brink of reshaping its roster, now might be the time to consider trading from this depth.

When healthy, he has been quite good—at times looking like an ace. He doesn’t walk anyone, is in the 80th percentile for strikeout rate, and...17365Sat, 16 Nov 2024 00:14:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-griffin-jax-get-another-shot-in-the-twins-starting-rotation-r17370/In an otherwise quiet offseason so far, a very impactful bit of Twins speculation dropped on Wednesday, leaving fans to wonder whether they’ll see Griffin Jax closing down games for the team in 2025. Does it make any sense for the team to change his role? While this isn’t exactly a com...17370Fri, 15 Nov 2024 12:22:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-trade-candidate-breakdown-bailey-ober-r17371/What’s up with Bailey Ober? More of the same. This season was the prototypical Bailey Ober campaign: 31 starts of roughly above-average competence, with almost yawn-inducing consistency. He set a career high in innings pitched, missing just one start on his way to a 3.91 ERA and 191 strikeouts...17371Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:07:01 +0000
