Age, injuries, and his offensive approach are all worth considering when we eval...16321Wed, 05 Jun 2024 23:10:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/can-the-twins-continue-to-rely-on-steven-okert-as-their-best-lefty-reliever-r16323/The Twins have seen mixed results from their off-season acquisitions in 2024. Some players (such as Anthony DeSclafani and Justin Topa) haven’t pitched at all, due to injury. Others (like Jay Jackson and Manuel Margot) have had bad results. But there is at least one player the Twins acquired via...16323Wed, 05 Jun 2024 13:16:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-trade-deadline-needs-corner-outfield-questions-aplenty-r16326/Today, we will start by looking at the outfield mix and any improvements that could be made. Later, we will do the same with the Twins' infield mix.  The Michael A. Taylor Role Last season, Michael A. Taylor filled a vital role for the Twins as Byron Buxton could not roam center field.
