If you haven’t already, check out Matt and Lucas’s Caretaker content on the topic. Anthony DeSclafani's career has been all over the place, with an ERA in the 3s eve...15750Tue, 27 Feb 2024 12:26:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/simeon-woods-richardson-fastball-velocity-2024/This is potentially big news, because Simeon Woods Richardson has had a velocity problem. Since being acquired by the Twins as part of the José Berríos trade, he's seen his velocity - and prospect status - decline. Last year, as a 22-year-old, that resulted in an unsightly 4.91 ERA at Triple-A...15766Tue, 27 Feb 2024 11:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-acquire-outfielder-manuel-margot-from-dodgers-in-3-player-trade-r15763/The Twins have accumulated a lot of outfield talent over the years, but much of that is left-handed. Byron Buxton is scheduled to play center field, and if he is healthy, he will be in the lineup a lot.  According to major-league sources, the Twins have acquired the talented Manuel Margot...15763Mon, 26 Feb 2024 19:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/lets-road-trip-2024-trip-4-passports-required-toronto-or-bust-may-10-12-r15735/For years, now, it's felt like the fortunes of the Twins and Jays were oddly intertwined. This May series will be a way for them each to check in on each other. Toronto Blue Jays – May 10-12 Rogers Centre: Capacity 45,517 2023 Attendance: 3,021,904, up from 2,653,837 in 2022 (Averaged 3...15735Mon, 26 Feb 2024 19:05:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nick-paparesta-impact-twins-injuries-byron-buxton-carlos-correa/The Minnesota Twins had their eyes on Nick Paparesta long before they were able to finally pry their new head athletic trainer away from the Oakland Athletics in November of 2022. "The Twins requested permission to speak with Paparesta when they hired (Michael) Salazar three seasons ago," Dan Ha...15756Mon, 26 Feb 2024 17:18:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/extension-tied-to-bailey-ober-in-more-than-one-way-r15753/Last spring, Bailey Ober entered camp knowing he was the odd man out. The Twins had five starters ahead of him on the depth chart, and he was likely heading to Triple-A to begin the year. It was a tough spot, especially since Ober had proved himself a big-league-caliber starter. He took everythi...15753Mon, 26 Feb 2024 15:03:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-2024-spring-training-storylines-louie-varlands-present-and-future-r15752/In 10 games as a starting pitcher last season, Louie Varland posted a 5.30 ERA and a 5.49 FIP. He struck out 54 batters and walked 16 over 241 total batters faced and 56 innings pitched. Despite posting nominally solid peripheral stats, the then-25-year-old's sophomore season ended prematurely....15752Mon, 26 Feb 2024 12:19:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/spring-training-red-sox-ober-start-enrique-hernandez/Bailey Ober's First Start The Twins fell to the Sox 6-1 on their first road trip of the season. The game went sideways early as Bailey Ober reached his pitch limit after getting one out in the second inning. He left the bases loaded with one run in but ended up being charged with four runs wh...15755Sun, 25 Feb 2024 21:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2024-spring-training-x-factors-cleaning-up-the-minnesota-twins-defense-r15717/During the 2023 season, the Twins had three Gold Glove finalists, including two players (Pablo López and Carlos Correa) who are still on the roster. Other players on the roster also rank well in advanced fielding metrics, but some clear holes can be addressed with strategic changes. Here’s a pos...15717Sun, 25 Feb 2024 17:17:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-light-does-diamondbacks-deal-shed-on-the-minnesota-twins-r15744/When the Minnesota Twins sent Cory Provus to the microphone to announce that he would be taking over as the TV voice of the Twins, the significant promise was that blackouts were going away. The Twins said they may be cash-strapped this offseason because they would be losing their (somewhat) luc...15744Sun, 25 Feb 2024 14:19:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-david-festa-the-guy-for-the-twins-r15739/There is no denying that the Minnesota starting rotation is substantially weaker than it was a season ago. Sonny Gray and Kenta Maeda are both gone. Gray signing for significant dollars into his late thirties would always make him a non-starter for the Twins front office. Maeda could have been r...15739Sat, 24 Feb 2024 18:20:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-beat-pirates-in-grapefruit-league-spring-training-opener-r15751/12:15 PM ET Lineups were posted in the clubhouse as we arrived. The opener is often stacked with regulars, and today is no exception. The opener is often your best chance in the first several weeks to see a lineup somewhat akin to what you may see at Target Field. Otherwise, a lot of the time...15751Sat, 24 Feb 2024 17:17:00 +0000
