The Twins had five starters ahead of him on the depth chart, and he was likely heading to Triple-A to begin the year. It was a tough spot, especially since Ober had proved himself a big-league-caliber starter. He took everythi...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">15753</guid><pubDate>Mon, 26 Feb 2024 15:03:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Minnesota Twins 2024 Spring Training Storylines: Louie Varland's Present and Future</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-2024-spring-training-storylines-louie-varlands-present-and-future-r15752/</link><description>In 10 games as a starting pitcher last season, Louie Varland posted a 5.30 ERA and a 5.49 FIP. He struck out 54 batters and walked 16 over 241 total batters faced and 56 innings pitched. Despite posting nominally solid peripheral stats, the then-25-year-old's sophomore season ended prematurely....</description><guid isPermaLink="false">15752</guid><pubDate>Mon, 26 Feb 2024 12:19:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Report from the Fort: Ober's Debut, Hernandez Rumors, & a Lineup Twist]]></title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/spring-training-red-sox-ober-start-enrique-hernandez/</link><description>Bailey Ober's First Start

	The Twins fell to the Sox 6-1 on their first road trip of the season. The game went sideways early as Bailey Ober  reached his pitch limit after getting one out in the second inning. He left the bases loaded with one run in but ended up being charged with four runs wh...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">15755</guid><pubDate>Sun, 25 Feb 2024 21:22:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>2024 Spring Training X-Factors: Cleaning Up the Minnesota Twins' Defense</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2024-spring-training-x-factors-cleaning-up-the-minnesota-twins-defense-r15717/</link><description>During the 2023 season, the Twins had three Gold Glove finalists, including two players (Pablo L&#xF3;pez and Carlos Correa) who are still on the roster. Other players on the roster also rank well in advanced fielding metrics, but some clear holes can be addressed with strategic changes.

Sonny Gray and Kenta Maeda are both gone. Gray signing for significant dollars into his late thirties would always make him a non-starter for the Twins front office.

	Lineups were posted in the clubhouse as we arrived. The opener is often stacked with regulars, and today is no exception. The opener is often your best chance in the first several weeks to see a lineup somewhat akin to what you may see at Target Field. Otherwise, a lot of the time...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">15751</guid><pubDate>Sat, 24 Feb 2024 17:17:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Let's Road Trip 2024: Trip #3 - Map Challenged...Los Angeles to Chicago?

Doesn't matter. It has to happen, and it has to go well if the Twins want to stay on top.

Bigger bases and limiting pitcher throw-overs saw the number of stolen bases rise. In 2023, there were 1.4 stolen bases per game in 1.8 attempts. In 2022, there was an average of 1.0 stolen ba...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">15738</guid><pubDate>Sat, 24 Feb 2024 12:19:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Minnesota Twins Start Spring Training Games with Win Over the Golden Gophers</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/first-spring-training-game-university-golden-gophers/</link><description>That's especially true when it's a well-conceived exhibition game, and Friday night's 13-2 win over the University of Minnesota's Golden Gophers was.
