That is to say that the author of the #1 most-viewed Twins Daily article of 2023 also had the most-viewed article of 2022. And while he didn't have any others that ranked in the Top 25, it probably won't surprise you who that author is.  It's been...15459Sun, 31 Dec 2023 12:23:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-prospects-2003-joe-mauer-michael-cuddyer-justin-morneau-brendan-harris/Let’s set the scene. It was 2003. The unexpected Anaheim Angels were coming off the first World Series championship in franchise history. Kids who are adults now were glued to their TVs, growing up with shows such as SpongeBob Squarepants and quoting it non-stop. The Minnesota Twins were staying...15460Sat, 30 Dec 2023 12:46:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2023-most-viewed-carlos-correa-jose-berrios-max-kepler-jorge-polanco/One thing I enjoy most about looking into which articles were most viewed over the past year is seeing which seemingly random articles were clicked into and read and discussed. This group has at least one of those topics. There's also an article in this grouping that probably represented how man...15457Sat, 30 Dec 2023 12:27:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/former-twins-lhp-carlos-pulido-passed-away-at-52-on-thursday-r15471/Thirty-five years ago, there were some MLB players from Venezuela, but very few in comparison to today. The Twins signed Carlos Pulido as a 17-year-old in February of 1989. He jumped directly to the Gulf Coast League, where he went 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA. In 36 innings, he had 46 strikeouts and iss...15471Fri, 29 Dec 2023 22:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/new-years-resolutions-carlos-correa-byron-buxton-defense/Rocco Baldelli will come into 2024 as the longest-tenured American League Central manager. With Terry Francona retiring, Baldelli will have seen it all within the division. Only A.J. Hinch will rival him from an experience standpoint at the helm, and Baldelli must get the most out of his team da...15442Fri, 29 Dec 2023 15:15:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/projecting-walker-jenkinss-percentile-outcomes-r15463/Despite the minor-league signings of Niko Goodrum and AJ Alexy and the one-year, $950,000 acquisition of reliever Josh Staumont, not much excitement has occurred in Twins Territory leading in the New Year. Though we could discuss the impending television deal for the umpteenth time, it feels lik...15463Fri, 29 Dec 2023 12:50:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-25-articles-2023-donovan-solano-royce-lewis-byron-buxton/In a season like the Minnesota Twins had in 2023, they got contributions from a number of player including some who they likely weren't expecting big things from. Donovan Solano was signed just before spring training and likely contributed much more. When determining their playoff rosters, they...15455Fri, 29 Dec 2023 12:22:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/max-kepler-center-field-solve-twins-problems/While finding a playoff-caliber starting pitcher to fill Sonny Gray's void is pretty clearly Priority Number One for the Twins this offseason, it's no secret that center field is also a key focus with the looming uncertainty around Byron Buxton and the departure of Michael A. Taylor via free age...15466Thu, 28 Dec 2023 21:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/chris-paddack-matt-canterino-tommy-john-surgery-comeback-timeline-twins-roster/Tommy John surgery has become more commonplace in the baseball world, but that doesn’t mean the rehabilitation process is any easier for players who undergo it. Pitchers who have been throwing on a regular basis suddenly have to stop, and eventually start over from Square One. It takes time for...15441Thu, 28 Dec 2023 12:48:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2023-twins-daily-part-2-aaron-hicks-john-ryan-murphy-byron-buxton-jorge-polanco/There are some interesting topics in today's group of five frequently viewed articles. We had a look back at a Twins trade from nearly a decade ago. Initially, it looked real bad, but ultimately, it didn't work out great for either side. There are a couple of spring training articles on the Twin...15454Thu, 28 Dec 2023 12:29:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-sign-reliever-josh-staumont-r15461/Since Derek Falvey and Thad Levine took over the Minnesota Twins front office, spending on relievers isn’t something that has been part of the plan. Addison Reed represented the only significant financial commitment, and no other reliever had ever earned a multi-year deal. In signing Josh Staumo...15461Wed, 27 Dec 2023 18:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/can-the-twins-unlock-rhp-aj-alexy-r15458/To say last week's signing of right-handed pitcher A.J. Alexy to a minor-league contract received little fanfare would be an understatement. As best I can tell, no beat writers so much as tweeted about the move, much less was there any formal team announcement. MLB Trade Rumors posted about the...15458Wed, 27 Dec 2023 18:05:02 +0000
