Rocco Baldelli’s club got walked off in the first contest, bounced back to win the second, but then lost the rubber match. Dave Roberts’s team wasn’t the same juggernaut last year (at least at that early juncture), but...15467Mon, 01 Jan 2024 16:19:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/free-agency-donovan-solano-reunion-first-base-alex-kirilloff/After being added to the roster just over a month before the season began, Donovan Solano played a surprisingly significant role for the Twins in 2023. He publicly announced that he would like to join the Twins roster again in 2024. Is there a realistic fit?

That, and Rod Carew. And Bert Blyleven. The great mechanisms that built the Twins of the 1960s were still at play in 1970. Franchise icons like Harmon Killebrew, Tony Oliva, Jim Kaat...15475Sun, 31 Dec 2023 19:20:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rick-reed-reluctant-twin-r15476/After growing up poor and needing to help his financially struggling parents, Rick Reed made the controversial decision to serve as a replacement player during the 1994-95 player’s strike. He was seemingly blackballed after the strike ended and spent the entire 1996 season with the Norfolk Tide...15476Sun, 31 Dec 2023 14:11:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/5-positive-signs-byron-buxton-2023-speed-power-baserunning/Like it or not, Byron Buxton is going to be part of the Twins' plans going forward. He's under contract for another five years, at a total cost of $75 million. Especially given their financial constraints, the front office would likely feel compelled to try and keep building around him, even if...15473Sun, 31 Dec 2023 13:42:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-top-5-articles-2023-emilio-pagan-max-kepler-miguel-sano-nelson-cruz/We have a repeat at #1 on this year's list. That is to say that the author of the #1 most-viewed Twins Daily article of 2023 also had the most-viewed article of 2022.

It was 2003. The unexpected Anaheim Angels were coming off the first World Series championship in franchise history. Kids who are adults now were glued to their TVs, growing up with shows such as SpongeBob Squarepants and quoting it non-stop.

The Twins signed Carlos Pulido as a 17-year-old in February of 1989. He jumped directly to the Gulf Coast League, where he went 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA. In 36 innings, he had 46 strikeouts and iss...15471Fri, 29 Dec 2023 22:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/new-years-resolutions-carlos-correa-byron-buxton-defense/Rocco Baldelli will come into 2024 as the longest-tenured American League Central manager.
