His fastball was in the low 90s, but he limited walks and he had a plus breaking ball. The most obvious path for Sands in a relief role was to lean on his breaking ball, as we’ve seen with players like Griffin Ja...16030Fri, 19 Apr 2024 15:17:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-beginning-to-accumulate-value-from-the-jos%C3%A9-berr%C3%ADos-trade-r16024/The 2021 season was disappointing for Twins fans. Minnesota was coming off back-to-back AL Central titles, with hopes that veteran pieces could keep the team’s winning window open. However, the team had a disastrous April (9-15 record) and never fully recovered, with August being the team’s lone...16024Fri, 19 Apr 2024 14:19:16 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-playoff-odds-have-taken-a-significant-hit-r16029/It should have never been a shock that the Twins were going to dial back payroll this offseason.

It took two years for them to make their own hire instead, in the form of Rocco Baldelli, and he’s largely been a success story in terms of co...16023Thu, 18 Apr 2024 13:14:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/pablo-l%C3%B3pez-joe-ryan-getting-even-better-results-in-second-year-with-new-pitches-r16016/The Twins organization didn’t initially sign Pablo López or Joe Ryan; both came to Minnesota via trade. Yet, neither was a finished product when they arrived. López had had some success at the big-league level, and the Twins convinced him that adding a sweeper would further augment his performan...16016Thu, 18 Apr 2024 11:29:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/episode-1-crisis-in-charm-city-r16021/Nick, Gregg, Lou and Cody commiserate over an ugly sweep in Baltimore, and look ahead to hopefully brighter days in an upcoming softer stretch of the schedule.
