Giving up high-caliber talent is a risky play, leading to heavy criticism and scrutiny when it goes wrong.

So far, Minnesota has agreed to just a single major-league deal, and that came in under $1 million. There are more than a few storylines worth catching up on, however.

All but a handful of MLB teams would swap their current state of affairs for a locked-in core of Royce Lewis, Edouard Julien, Carlos Correa, Ryan Jeffers, Byron Buxton, Pablo L&#xF3;pez, and Jhoan Dur&#xE1;n, not to discount an additional two top-20 prospects in Walke...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">15508</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jan 2024 12:23:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Greatest Twins Teams of All Time: 2019</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/greatest-twins-teams-of-all-time-2019-r15500/</link><description>Not that many baseball teams get a nickname. The 2019 Twins weren't quite Murderer's Row or the Big Red Machine, but they were every bit as good as Harvey's Wallbangers and the South Side Hitmen. That earned them a their own sobriquet.
