With a “Ripple Effect” premise, the hope was that Minnesota’s newest uniform would draw excitement from the fanbase.

In 2017, the Minnesota Twins transitioned to a new front office and were tasked with identifying the best player at the top of the draft.

The sample is small and the games don't matter, was the refrain more or less. Once the games did start mattering and Wallner's bat failed to...16393Sat, 15 Jun 2024 15:30:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/oakland-athletics-trade-deadline-targets-twins-jp-sears-brent-rooker/Ah yes, trade deadline speculation is well underway as we delve into the heart of the summer. There is many a team in Major League Baseball that will be out of contention by late July, ready to send out their best players for a plunder of prospects.  One of the least-surprising members of t...16385Sat, 15 Jun 2024 12:47:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/make-it-official-twins-6-athletics-5-max-kepler-walk-off-punctuates-city-connect-debut-r16395/Box Score Simeon Woods Richardson: 4 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 4 BB, 4 K (For real) Home Runs: Max Kepler (5) Top 3 WPA: Max Kepler (.621), Jhoan Duran (.445), Jose Miranda (.153) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) Donned in a uniform that can only be described as the result of the Ma...16395Sat, 15 Jun 2024 03:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-rumors-mets-manaea-severino-ottavino-bader/If the Mets do sell, there are surely pieces on whom the Minnesota Twins need to kick the tires, and nobody sticks out more than their power-hitting first basemen.

The fact that he pitched well in relief late last season is not reason enough, on its own, to go down that path in 2024. It is worth discussing, but Derek Falvey and Rocco Balde...16350Fri, 14 Jun 2024 13:18:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/%E2%80%9Cphenomenal%E2%80%9D-simeon-woods-richardsons-upgraded-pitch-mix-has-saved-the-twins-rotation-r16378/Simeon Woods Richardson finished the 2023 campaign at a low point. He pitched most of the season at Triple-A, posting a 4.91 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP and 19.3% strikeout rate. His mechanics were out of whack, to the point where his fastball struggled to crack 90 mph.
