Simeon Woods Richardson is not a true-talent 2.57 ERA pitcher in MLB, and his strong showing since joining the Twins rotation is due for some measure of regression. However, the success he's had isn't unearned. He's made material changes since last season,...16279Tue, 28 May 2024 15:14:46 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/could-max-kepler-receive-a-qualifying-offer-r16260/Max Kepler's OPS is 100 points above the anemic league average, and he’s playing his standard plus defense in right field. Kepler has continued the hot stretch that started in the second half of 2023, and there’s an argument that he should receive an offer from the Twins of over $20 million to p...16260Tue, 28 May 2024 14:18:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-offense-boasts-plenty-of-upside-going-forward-r16274/The biggest concern for the offense heading into this 2024 campaign, as I outlined during the offseason, was the threat of regression coming for three players who were all key contributors to the offense as rookies: Royce Lewis, Matt Wallner and Edouard Julien.
