David Festa made his MLB debut against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Jun. 26, and Brooks Lee made his against the Detroit Tigers on...16529Thu, 04 Jul 2024 15:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/one-year-from-now-predicting-the-2025-twins-lineup-r16519/Predicting the future in baseball can be an exercise in futility. Last season, it looked like José Miranda was out of the team’s long-term plans, as he struggled with a shoulder injury. Now, he’s reestablished himself as a crucial piece of the team’s lineup. Matt Wallner and Edouard Julien had t...16519Thu, 04 Jul 2024 13:17:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/royce-lewis-injuries-and-stupid-luck-r16525/Luckily, the Twins are hopeful that it isn’t as severe as the right quadriceps injury which caused Royce Lewis to miss the first two months of the season.

The idea is solid—it can be risky to trade away over a half-decade of a prospect’s career for just a few months of a veteran’s services. It becomes even mor...16499Wed, 03 Jul 2024 23:06:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-promote-top-prospect-brooks-lee-r16523/Brooks Lee made news early this week when he was picked to be the Twins representative in the MLB Futures Game. It’s more likely that he won’t be appearing in that game as the Twins are calling him up to make his big-league debut. Now that he’s here, what can fans expect from Lee? Where will he...16523Wed, 03 Jul 2024 20:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/from-worst-to-best-the-twins-have-slain-their-strikeout-demons-r16522/As you are surely aware, the Minnesota Twins offense set the major-league record for strikeouts in 2023. Around this time last year, as the team hurtled toward their dubious distinction, Rocco Baldelli acknowledged, "The strikeouts, they are an issue, and there’s no way around that."  Conce...16522Wed, 03 Jul 2024 19:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-hitter-of-the-month-june-2024-r16513/As June comes to a close, it's time to celebrate the outstanding performances by our Minnesota Twins hitters. This month was packed with exciting performances, but only the best of the best made the cut for the Twins' hitter of the month for June.

Carlos Correa was the most logical candidate, given that he played for them on what was ultimately a one-year deal during the 2022 season. That said, he still explored deals with the San Francisco Giants and N...16508Wed, 03 Jul 2024 11:23:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/make-it-official-twins-5-tigers-3-minnesota-figures-out-skubal-mastery-r16517/Box Score SP: Simeon Woods Richardson 5.2 IP 4 H 3 R 3 ER 2 BB 4 K (94 pitches, 61 strikes, 9 whiffs) Home Runs: Manuel Margot (3), Carlos Correa(10) Top 3 WPA: Royce Lewis .201, Byron Buxton .193, Manuel Margot .161 Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) Slump This Facing...16517Wed, 03 Jul 2024 02:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-trading-for-offensive-help-would-be-a-surprise-r16495/At some points this season, Rocco Baldelli has wanted more from his lineup. With Royce Lewis, Carlos Correa, and Byron Buxton all missing time, the team has occasionally had to scramble to backfill for its best players.
