Manager Ron Gardenhire won AL Manager of the Year. By wins, this was the team’s best performance sin...15394Sun, 10 Dec 2023 20:20:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-the-twins-austin-martin-ready-to-drive-r15378/When Derek Falvey decided to send Jose Berrios north (er, technically, east-southeast, but you get the idea) in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays, many were impressed with how much Minnesota got back.
