Over the past week, two headline-grabbing trades have reshaped how the league values high-end starting pitching. First came the Mets’ acqu...19691Wed, 28 Jan 2026 13:02:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-need-a-better-brooks-lee-is-that-possible-r19694/There's not a shortage of comps for Brooks Lee's swing. From the left side and from the right, he has roughly 35th-percentile bat speed and a slightly flatter swing plane than the average hitter. Over 60 big-league hitters met those basic criteria last season, from one or both sides of the plate...19694Tue, 27 Jan 2026 23:05:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-a-twins-rebuild-was-never-the-only-answer-r19676/There is a natural instinct, among fan bases, to equate disappointment with demolition. When a season ends without a playoff run, the favored solution is often to burn it down and start over. This offseason, the Minnesota Twins resisted that urge. Instead of opting for a full rebuild, they chose...19676Tue, 27 Jan 2026 16:25:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-territorys-least-favorite-left-handed-hitting-corner-outfield-could-thrive-in-2026-r19689/Entering the offseason, those who follow the Minnesota Twins expected corner outfielder/designated hitter Trevor Larnach to part ways with the organization, either by being non-tendered in mid-November or traded sometime before spring training. Instead, they tendered him a contract in the fall,...19689Tue, 27 Jan 2026 12:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-joe-ryan-agree-to-face-saving-deal-to-avoid-arbitration-r19690/The Twins and righthander Joe Ryan agreed to a one-year deal to avoid arbitration Monday, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Ryan will earn $6.1 million in 2026, and the Twins hold a $13-million club option for 2027, with a $100,000 buyout. The $6.1 million figure is the midpoint betw...19690Mon, 26 Jan 2026 21:57:56 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/international-free-agency-the-twins-track-record-part-2-r19649/This is the second installment in a series about the many opportunities and difficulties of signing and developing international amateur free agents. Part 1 can be found here. Evaluating the Minnesota Twins’ international program requires a level of honesty that can be uncomfortable. For mu...19649Mon, 26 Jan 2026 19:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-the-twins-are-building-a-matchup-machine-r19661/For much of the last decade, the Twins have quietly tried to squeeze every marginal win out of their roster. Sometimes that has meant platoons. Other times, it has meant defensive flexibility or depth over star power. This offseason, a clear pattern is emerging. Minnesota appears to be leaning h...19661Mon, 26 Jan 2026 17:27:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/taylor-rogers-brings-more-than-left-handed-relief-to-2026-twins-r19683/Taylor Rogers has accrued nine years and 145 days of MLB service time—just 27 days short of collecting his pension. The rest of the Twins’ projected Opening Day bullpen (Justin Topa, Cole Sands, Kody Funderburk, Eric Orze, Pierson Ohl, Travis Adams, John Klein) has 11 years and 83 days in total....19683Mon, 26 Jan 2026 12:37:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/opportunity-season-isnt-over-yet-for-twins-r19687/If the Twins' offseason feels unfinished, that's because it is. With roughly three weeks remaining before players report to Fort Myers, the front office has made it clear that the current roster is more of a foundation than a final product. Minnesota is comfortable waiting, watching, and pouncin...19687Sun, 25 Jan 2026 23:03:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-updated-bullpen-puzzle-is-still-missing-pieces-r19684/For months, the Twins bullpen has felt less like a plan and more like a collection of possibilities. That changed this week. The Twins made an important move on Thursday by reportedly reuniting with former All-Star reliever Taylor Rogers on a one-year, $2 million deal. It is a step in the right...19684Sun, 25 Jan 2026 12:15:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/dick-bremer-elected-to-minnesota-twins-hall-of-fame-r19685/Location: A central Minnesota lake, frozen over by the cold condition.

The Boston Red Sox are still seeking help at the catcher position. The two teams already primed...19672Thu, 22 Jan 2026 23:14:07 +0000
