Minnesota added the veteran to provide stability in the middle of the order, and if his recent track record holds, he could be exactly what the lineup needs. Over...19912Mon, 09 Mar 2026 23:02:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-james-outman-playing-his-way-onto-the-twins-opening-day-roster-r19913/James Outman arrived in Minnesota under less-than-ideal circumstances. The Twins acquired Outman at last season’s trade deadline during the organization’s sweeping sell-off, sending reliever Brock Stewart to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 1-for-1 deal. Among the moves the Twins made that week, tha...19913Mon, 09 Mar 2026 17:06:05 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/spring-temperature-check-whos-hot-and-whos-cold-in-twins-camp-march-5-8-r19914/It’s been an eventful few days of spring baseball for the Twins. They opened the stretch with a dominant 15-0 win over the Yankees on Thursday before dropping a 4-1 decision to the Braves on Friday and a tight 3-2 game to the Orioles on Saturday. Sunday’s matchup with the Phillies provided some...19914Mon, 09 Mar 2026 14:10:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/five-forgotten-faces-from-recent-twins-opening-day-lineups-r19889/Spring training always sparks the same debate: Who will make the Opening Day roster? Which prospects or veterans will secure a spot or be squeezed out? The conversation can dominate the entire spring.

I do feel confident they will be interesting. You've got Trevor Larnach trying to make his last stand, with his presence on the roster feeling almost obstructive at this point. You've got Austin Martin trying to build off his soli...19903Mon, 09 Mar 2026 11:38:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/spring-training-usage-tracker-reading-into-twins-playing-time-trends-r19911/You've heard it plenty of times: spring training performance doesn't matter. That's mostly true, but it doesn't mean we can't draw meaningful conclusions from the games, and the decisions that go into them. I find myself paying attention more to the names on the lineup card than the stats next t...19911Sun, 08 Mar 2026 19:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ranking-minnesotas-post-hype-prospects-r19874/There comes a point in every organization’s development cycle where the shine starts to wear off former top prospects.

His performance with the Marlins and his remaining minor league options left him viewed mostly as Triple-A depth.

At least, that’s the question worth asking as Opening Day approaches. On paper, the Twins are lined up to carry a perfectly balanced bullpen in 2026: four right-handed pitchers and four left-handed pitchers. Symmetry looks nice in theor...19864Sat, 07 Mar 2026 14:06:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/luke-keaschall-expands-his-defensive-toolbox-r19884/Flexibility is crucial on a modern baseball roster. The more positions a player can cover, the more likely a manager is to keep a strong bat like Luke Keaschall’s in the Minnesota Twins’ lineup.
