Part of that is due to a slow-moving free agent market, as well as a lack of clarity on the funds available as they peruse the players who might be availabl...15493Fri, 05 Jan 2024 16:21:05 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-players-assets-2024-jeffers-lee-lopez-lewis-jenkins/You can get a full explanation for the parameters used to develop this list in Tuesday's intro post, but the short version is this: We're trying the question: Which current players in the organization are most indispensable to fulfilling the vision of building a champion?

It’s also not difficult to point out the misses in the first round, as those will always stand out the most and be disheartening. What good developing teams can do, though,...15469Fri, 05 Jan 2024 12:30:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/alexy-staumont-jensen-walks-mechanics-twins-coaching/Even before they openly laid out their self-imposed payroll restrictions for this offseason, it was reasonable to guess that the Twins front office wasn't going to invest heavily in bullpen additions. Because... they never do. Two offseasons ago, they made one low-wattage addition to the relief...15496Thu, 04 Jan 2024 20:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/news-twins-claim-relief-pitcher-ryan-jensen-on-waivers-r15494/After his time on waivers was extended by the closure of MLB's offices from Christmas through New Year's day, righthander Ryan Jensen now has a new home. The Twins claimed him on waivers, where the Miami Marlins placed him last month. Jensen, 26, was the Cubs' first-round pick back in 2019, and...15494Thu, 04 Jan 2024 19:36:06 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/top-players-assets-2024-ryan-rodriguez-julien-ober-correa/You can get a full explanation for the parameters used to develop this list in Tuesday's intro post, but the short version is this: We're addressing the question: Which current players in the organization are most indispensable to fulfilling the vision of building a champion?

It’s a back-and-forth conversation, but the basic premise is that the scout...15477Thu, 04 Jan 2024 12:39:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/hardest-hit-balls-twins-2023-season-exit-velocity/As a team, the Twins produced some of the noisiest contact in the league last year. They ranked fifth in the majors in average exit velocity (89.4 MPH), thanks to the American's League's top barrel rate (6.4%).
