Here is why there are plenty of reasons for optimism with this trio. The 2024 season was filled with sky-high expectations for Edouard Julien, Brooks Lee, and Royce Lewis, but each...17520Fri, 20 Dec 2024 21:38:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/roster-questions-edouard-julien-jorge-alcala-jose-miranda/As one might expect following a historic collapse, several Twins players have big question marks heading into 2025. A few names will likely give the Twins front office a headache as they project how to move forward. The Twins don’t have an easy task this offseason as they try to return to co...17527Fri, 20 Dec 2024 16:10:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/poised-for-a-breakout-the-twins-should-consider-a-joe-ryan-extension-r17525/Many of the Twins’ top young players are inching closer to free agency. This winter might be the best time to sign Joe Ryan to a team-friendly extension, before he breaks out in 2025.    The Minnesota Twins have a solid rotation foundation heading into 2025, but stability can be fleetin...17525Fri, 20 Dec 2024 12:11:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/bargain-shopping-twins-should-pursue-a-former-al-central-foil-r17526/The Twins have been inactive this offseason. They need reinforcements. Time to go bargain bin shopping. Let’s begin up top with a quick disclaimer: the offseason is young, and there’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding this team. Will fans be able to watch the team’s games next season? Will th...17526Fri, 20 Dec 2024 00:13:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-the-twins-could-pull-off-a-blockbuster-trade-for-miami-starter-jes%C3%BAs-luzardo-r17523/The salary-strapped front office could pull off a trade for the star Miami Marlins southpaw. Here's how. On Tuesday, Fish On First's Sean McCormick published a piece proposing three potential offseason deals involving Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jesús Luzardo. McCormick's first proposal s...17523Thu, 19 Dec 2024 17:20:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mat-ishbia-potential-twins-co-buyer-clearly-understands-the-assignment-r17521/Mat Ishbia just might be the anti-Pohlad. I don’t mean that he’s showing up to Phoenix Suns games with signs that say “Defund the Pohlads”. That wouldn’t make sense, since he’s part of a potential buyer’s group. He just seems to do things differently. Intrigued? Great. Let’s dig in.

Have they positioned themselves as the perfect landing spot for Willi Castro, should the Twins decide to ship him out this winter? Willi Castro is a uniquely valuable player and has been vital to the Twins roster for the last two year...17518Thu, 19 Dec 2024 00:04:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-can-recent-history-tell-us-about-simeon-woods-richardsons-age-23-season%E2%80%94and-what-comes-next-r17516/Or: come read about a very fun group of comparable players.  Here’s a simple question I asked myself the other day: How could we analyze Simeon Woods Richardson’s season in the context of his age? His year was fine—133 ⅔ innings with a 4.17 ERA is non-descript, even in today’s age of suppres...17516Wed, 18 Dec 2024 17:26:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-harrison-bader-this-years-byron-buxton-insurance-r17513/The Twins have acquired veteran center field options to serve in a backup role over the last two seasons. How has that plan served the team, and is another veteran on the team’s free-agent wish list? Byron Buxton’s immense talent has always been paired with an equally imposing injury history...17513Wed, 18 Dec 2024 14:07:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/free-agency-rumors-ty-france-ramon-laureano/The Twins have done nothing to address their need to add a right-handed-hitting corner outfielder, nor their (lesser) need to fill Carlos Santana’s absence. While we have covered many of the routes the Twins could go ahead of next season, there are two names on the market that we’ve yet to dive...17517Wed, 18 Dec 2024 12:39:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/statcasts-new-baserunning-metric-highlights-twins-roster-construction-flaw-r17512/The Twins have built a roster where speed and taking extra bases aren’t priorities. So, were there any surprises with Statcast’s release of a new baserunning metric? Statcast has provided fans with an inside look at some of the metrics teams have had access to in recent years.

In some corners, though, Mat and Justin Ishbia have been an exception to that rule. For what have the brothers come in for celebration and blame during their time owning the Phoenix Suns? Over the last 40 years, the Pohlad family has been...17507Tue, 17 Dec 2024 12:38:02 +0000
