The team enjoyed a great 1992—although one not good enough to overcome the division-winning Athletics—and promptly slid into the same pre-1987 quagmire that cursed most every season following their glorious 1960s run. The team kind of looked like...15452Mon, 25 Dec 2023 18:25:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/royce-lewis-2024-expectations-projections-adjustments-full-healthy-season/Returning from a second knee injury, Royce Lewis was a bit behind when spring training kicked off in 2023. He wasn’t going to be an option for Rocco Baldelli on Opening Day, and despite his being ready to rock, the club was always going to force him to take it slow. This time around, Lewis...15443Mon, 25 Dec 2023 16:10:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/miguel-sano-is-on-the-comeback-trail-r15449/The former Twins slugger Miguel Sano has taken a hiatus from the MLB since a knee injury ended his 2022 season. After a midseason workout in 2023 failed to draw in more suitors, Sano returned home to the Dominican Republic where he joined the winter league. In what has been an offseason with lit...15449Sun, 24 Dec 2023 18:20:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/joe-mauer-hall-of-fame-voters-batting-titles-mvp-war-jaws/Voting for the National Baseball Hall of Fame is not an exact science. It's rarely treated as a science at all, by those who participate in it. Some voters take an old-school approach and value traditional statistics, like batting average, All-Star appearances, MVPs, and so on. Other voters take...15433Sun, 24 Dec 2023 12:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-dylan-bundys-of-the-world-r15448/Let’s be blunt. The Twins spent a few years giving contracts to bad starting pitchers. Since 2020, the Twins have signed six starting pitchers to MLB deals in free agency. Five were out of baseball the following year, and the other is 43-year-old Rich Hill, looking for his 14th MLB team this off...15448Sat, 23 Dec 2023 17:13:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/byron-buxton-war-2024-projections-injury-history/Last offseason, when the Twins sent Byron Buxton, Joe Ryan, Luis Arraez, and Jorge Polanco to the Mall of America as they debuted their new threads, Buxton talked to reporters about his availability. He is keenly aware of how often he has been injured, but the center fielder noted that he played...15430Sat, 23 Dec 2023 12:53:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/billions-buxton-and-trade-value-r15450/15450Fri, 22 Dec 2023 16:46:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-candidate-graham-ashcraft-controllable-starting-pitcher-matt-wallner-reds/The Major League Baseball trade market is like a well. Parched front offices visit that well, hoping to find a player to quench their thirst and strengthen their team for a reasonable cost. Recently, the Cincinnati Reds have been a one-team well the Twins front office has often visited for start...15444Fri, 22 Dec 2023 16:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/strikeouts-hitting-approach-rocco-baldelli-philosophy/Fans were understandably exasperated by the amount of whiffing they witnessed from Twins hitters this year. Minnesota set Major League Baseball's all-time strikeout record in the regular season, and the team's playoff run ended with a parade of punchouts as they scrambled futilely to get a runne...15435Fri, 22 Dec 2023 12:50:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tyler-mahle-worst-trades-twins-history-delmon-young-scott-erickson-jj-hardy-carlos-gomez/On Dec. 14, Tyler Mahle signed a two-year contract with the Texas Rangers for $22 million. He’ll miss the start of the 2024 season as he completes his rehab from Tommy John surgery. Expectations are for him to be able to return around the All-Star break, which is near the time the Rangers expect...15437Thu, 21 Dec 2023 16:17:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-candidates-starting-pitchers-logan-gilbert-edouard-julien-max-kepler/Good teams are hard to sustain in baseball. The Padres, for instance, got to the NLCS in 2022 and added Xander Bogaerts, got Fernando Tatis Jr. back from suspension, and missed the playoffs entirely in 2023. You just never know what a new season will bring. The Twins were one of the best te...15432Thu, 21 Dec 2023 12:37:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/corbin-burnes-trade-rumors-jorge-polanco-david-festa-connor-prielipp/The 2022-23 offseason saw the Minnesota Twins make one of the most polarizing trades in franchise history, when they dealt reigning batting champion Luis Arraez to the Miami Marlins to bolster their rotation by adding Pablo Lopez. Arráez and López each went on to have great success for their new...15439Wed, 20 Dec 2023 22:34:00 +0000
