Beyond Byron Buxton, candidates include Willi Castro, Nick Gordon, and Austin Martin. However, Castro may not carry forward his success from 2023; Gordon was a disaster before missing the rest of the season with a fr...15456Wed, 27 Dec 2023 16:20:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/five-gifts-for-al-central-division-champions-repeat/When Rocco Baldelli watches his team take the field on Opening Day, he will be hoping they can play the way they did down the stretch last year. Despite holding onto the division lead early, Minnesota struggled to create much separation between themselves and the competition. The organization st...15440Wed, 27 Dec 2023 12:31:06 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-25-most-viewed-2023-miguel-sano-joey-gallo-brooks-lee/2023 began with the saga of Carlos Correa. Expectations were reduced, but there was an excitement. The front office stayed busy in free agency and in the trade market. And then the season began, and while there were ups and downs, the Twins led the division much of the year and returned to the t...15453Wed, 27 Dec 2023 12:22:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/moving-louie-varland-to-the-bullpen-would-be-malpractice-r15447/  It’s frankly a compliment to the Twins’ front office, amateur scouts, and player development that we’re even having this discussion. As a 15th-round pick in 2019, the bar was pretty low, but he’s vaulted over it, and now coaches and executives have a tricky question: let him continue to d...15447Tue, 26 Dec 2023 16:19:04 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/julien-lewis-wallner-rookie-sophomore-regression/Twins fans have seen it time and time again: a player splashes onto the scene with a phenomenal rookie year and then quickly experiences the full weight of regression in the following season.

Who should (or shouldn’t) be elected to Cooperstown’s hallowed halls? Last year, Scott Rolen was the lone player elected by the BBWAA, with Todd Helton falling 11 votes shy of induction. This year’s ballot is full o...15431Tue, 26 Dec 2023 12:12:04 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-8th-team-johan-santana-brad-radke-jacque-jones/Overview: The 90’s were not kind to Minnesota. The team enjoyed a great 1992—although one not good enough to overcome the division-winning Athletics—and promptly slid into the same pre-1987 quagmire that cursed most every season following their glorious 1960s run. The team kind of looked like...15452Mon, 25 Dec 2023 18:25:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/royce-lewis-2024-expectations-projections-adjustments-full-healthy-season/Returning from a second knee injury, Royce Lewis was a bit behind when spring training kicked off in 2023. He wasn’t going to be an option for Rocco Baldelli on Opening Day, and despite his being ready to rock, the club was always going to force him to take it slow. This time around, Lewis...15443Mon, 25 Dec 2023 16:10:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/miguel-sano-is-on-the-comeback-trail-r15449/The former Twins slugger Miguel Sano has taken a hiatus from the MLB since a knee injury ended his 2022 season. After a midseason workout in 2023 failed to draw in more suitors, Sano returned home to the Dominican Republic where he joined the winter league. In what has been an offseason with lit...15449Sun, 24 Dec 2023 18:20:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/joe-mauer-hall-of-fame-voters-batting-titles-mvp-war-jaws/Voting for the National Baseball Hall of Fame is not an exact science. It's rarely treated as a science at all, by those who participate in it. Some voters take an old-school approach and value traditional statistics, like batting average, All-Star appearances, MVPs, and so on.

The Twins spent a few years giving contracts to bad starting pitchers. Since 2020, the Twins have signed six starting pitchers to MLB deals in free agency. Five were out of baseball the following year, and the other is 43-year-old Rich Hill, looking for his 14th MLB team this off...15448Sat, 23 Dec 2023 17:13:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/byron-buxton-war-2024-projections-injury-history/Last offseason, when the Twins sent Byron Buxton, Joe Ryan, Luis Arraez, and Jorge Polanco to the Mall of America as they debuted their new threads, Buxton talked to reporters about his availability.
