As such, they may be buyers. It&#x2019;s worth looking around the league to get familiar with some players who...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">16354</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Jun 2024 11:27:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Rockies 5, Twins 4: Varland Strong in Return, but Four-Run Sixth Frame Costs Thielbar, Twins</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rockies-5-twins-4-varland-strong-in-return-but-four-run-sixth-frame-costs-thielbar-twins-r16375/</link><description>Box Score

Twins pitchers struck out 10 Colorado batters, but only issued one walk, and on the flip side, they only struck out and walked twice each on offense.&#xA0;
