In a recent interview with MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart, Correa recounted a harrowing moment on Lake Minnetonka last July, when he found himself “fighting for surviv...19982Sat, 21 Mar 2026 22:07:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-spring-battle-orlando-arcia-vs-ryan-kreidler-r19950/As spring training winds down, the competition for Minnesota’s final bench spot is one of the most intriguing roster questions. The Twins appear to have most of their position player group set, but the backup shortstop job is still unsettled. With Brooks Lee expected to be the team’s primary sho...19950Sat, 21 Mar 2026 13:54:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-rotation-appears-set-as-mick-abel-beats-out-zebby-matthews-r19980/On Thursday, Mick Abel took the mound for the Twins and — as has often been the case this spring — he put on a show. Averaging 96.2 MPH with his four-seamer and 88.1 with his slider, Abel piled up six strikeouts in 4 ⅔ innings, with Red Sox hitters whiffing on 11 of 42 swings. One day later, it...19980Sat, 21 Mar 2026 11:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/no-country-for-old-men-andrew-chafin-and-gio-urshela-released-r19981/As the Twins close in on the end of spring camp, it seems a few more of the veterans brought in on minor league deals won’t find their way onto the team. First reported by Dan Hayes of The Athletic, left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin and former Twin infielder Gio Urshela were released from...19981Fri, 20 Mar 2026 23:18:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-grant-liam-hendriks-his-release-as-bullpen-questions-grow-r19979/Minnesota’s most notable right-handed bullpen addition of the offseason is no longer in camp. The Twins have granted Liam Hendriks his release, allowing the veteran to pursue an opportunity elsewhere just days before the regular season begins.

Unfortunately, they weren’t able to build much momentum from there, dropping a 2-0 game to the Phillies on Tuesday and a 4-2 contest to the Red Sox on Thurs...19978Fri, 20 Mar 2026 16:34:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-it-time-to-sound-the-panic-alarm-on-bailey-ober-r19975/Coming into spring training, there was reason to believe that Bailey Ober could rebound this year. Last season never felt right. He was not fully healthy, his velocity was down, and his results suffered. The hope was that he’d get back to full strength, push his fastball toward 91 MPH, and let t...19975Thu, 19 Mar 2026 22:13:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-2026-position-analysis-relief-pitcher-r19972/According to FanGraphs, the Rays are projected to have the third-best bullpen in baseball, with Griffin Jax as their best reliever.

After posting an 11 wRC+ over 211 plate appearances with the Detroit Tigers the past four seasons, the 28-year-old’s offensive ineptitude doesn’t come as a surprise; it's an u...19963Wed, 18 Mar 2026 16:41:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-spring-battles-the-backup-shortstop-r19962/It seems that in recent years, the Twins have had very few classic roster battles in spring training. Part of this decline is due to the fact that spring training performance isn’t taken as seriously as it once was, but the Twins have also had a pretty set roster coming into camp for a few years...19962Tue, 17 Mar 2026 15:37:02 +0000
