On paper, they have checked those boxes, albeit without much flash. Josh Bell adds a switch-hitting bat with power. Victor Caratini provides depth and flexibility behind the plate.

	&#x201C;When you&#x2019;re healthy, a lot of things start to come your way.&#x201D;

	- Byron Buxton, reflecting on the steps he has taken over the last two years that have resulted in him playing for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.

That debate may have just resolved itself.

Any value in watching spring training games isn&#x2019;t in looking at players&#x2019; stats. Partly, that&#x2019;s because it&#x2019;s just such a small sample size. But on top of that, players are testi...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">19783</guid><pubDate>Sun, 15 Feb 2026 11:48:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why Victor Caratini Could Be More Impactful Than Expected</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-victor-caratini-could-be-more-impactful-than-expected-r19782/</link><description>This winter, the Minnesota Twins made a move that didn&#x2019;t generate a ton of headlines. No splashy press conference, no massive contract. Just a two-year, $14 million deal for veteran catcher and first baseman Victor Caratini.




	On the surface, it&#x2019;s easy to shrug at it.
