His signing as a teenager was documented in the 2011 movie Ballplayer: Pelotero. MLB completed an investigation into his actual age, and some organizations used it to gain leverage over hi...16062Fri, 26 Apr 2024 16:20:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/justin-topas-first-rehab-outing-shows-progress-twins-are-looking-for-r16072/St. Paul – Another pitcher is inching closer to his return to the Twins bullpen and make his debut with the team. Veteran reliever Justin Topa suffered with tendinitis in his left knee in spring training.

As a rotational infielder, he has value in multiple spots, and if he could keep up with career averages, he'd have a pul...16068Fri, 26 Apr 2024 12:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/make-it-official-twins-6-white-sox-3-power-bats-lead-twins-to-4-game-sox-sweep-r16067/Box Score SP: Simeon Woods Richardson - 5 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K (94 pitches, 66 strikes (70.2%), 11 whiffs) Home Runs: Edouard Julien 2 (7), Ryan Jeffers (4), Carlos Santana (1), Jose Miranda (2).  Top 3 WPA: Edouard Julien (0.206), Ryan Jeffers (0.133), Caleb Thielbar (0.095) Win...16067Thu, 25 Apr 2024 19:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-catching-rotation-is-costing-them-r16061/When Derek Falvey dealt Mitch Garver to the Texas Rangers, it signified a changing of the guard at the catching position. While Ryan Jeffers is certainly no Joe Mauer, it was the former second-round pick’s time to shine in a regular role. He had flashed promise in a small sample as a rookie, and...16061Thu, 25 Apr 2024 15:24:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/this-could-be-a-first-real-shot-in-the-show-for-simeon-woods-richardson-r16065/When Simeon Woods Richardson started half of a rain-necessitated doubleheader for the Twins earlier this month, it marked the third season in which he's made an appearance for the team.

Buck is back in 2024 and looks like his usual spectacular self in the field, yet the team is 27th in the league in DRS to start the year,...16060Thu, 25 Apr 2024 11:06:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/make-it-official-twins-6-white-sox-3-willi-whacks-twins-to-victory-r16063/Box Score SP: Joe Ryan 6.0 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 8 K (92 pitches, 60 strikes, 19 whiffs) Home Runs: Willi Castro (2) Top 3 WPA: Max Kepler (.178), Willi Castro (.156), Christian Vazquez (.103) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) Austin “Only Doubles” Martin With Joe...16063Thu, 25 Apr 2024 02:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/blame-game-who-gets-the-most-blame-for-the-twins-poor-start-r16058/Minnesota’s start to the season has been frustrating for all parties involved, including fans, players, and coaches. After their first playoff series win in two decades, the team seemed to be riding a wave of momentum. Instead, the club is near the bottom of the AL Central, considered one of bas...16058Wed, 24 Apr 2024 16:15:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/do-the-twins-have-a-viable-process-at-the-plate-r16051/At this point, all things should be on the table for the Twins when looking to shake things up offensively. Carlos Correa was Rocco Baldelli’s best hitter when he went on the injured list, and he’s at least a couple of weeks away from a return.
