Well, it had thoughts regarding every player, but we only looked at those set to don Minnesota jerseys. Enough beating aro...15189Tue, 17 Oct 2023 14:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-front-office-offseason-needs-gray-kepler-polanco/The Twins front office is in a fairly good place heading into the 2023-24 offseason, with a lot of continuity built into their division-winning roster and relatively few blatantly obvious needs. But they do have needs. Here at Twins Daily, the baseball season never ends. We'll be firing up...15184Tue, 17 Oct 2023 12:16:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-12-biggest-offseason-questions-their-answers-part-2-r15186/Question 7: Will the Twins begin next year with Christian Vazquez and Ryan Jeffers at catcher? Magic 8-Ball: Outlook good But maybe not in that order? The Twins are really happy with how their catching tandem turned out this year, so don't expect any changes. Yes, Vazquez's existing two-year...15186Mon, 16 Oct 2023 21:19:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-if-rocco-baldelli-is-actually-a-good-manager-r15179/One thing to know about baseball fans is that they all hold the firm belief that their team’s manager is terrible and holding their team back from limitless success. Plenty of Yankees fans hate Aaron Boone, thinking he’s too soft on his players. Blue Jays fans think John Schneider is t...15179Mon, 16 Oct 2023 17:18:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/internal-options-to-replace-sonny-gray-r15173/Sonny Gray walked off the mound in Game 3 of the ALDS with his head down. The Twins had returned to Target Field with a chance to take the series lead. Instead, Gray allowed more home runs than any other game this season. It was a disappointing end to what was likely his last appearance for the...15173Mon, 16 Oct 2023 14:15:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/creating-consistency-for-2024-r15175/The Twins had a good offense in 2023, finishing seventh in all of baseball by OPS and 10th in runs scored. As fans surely remember, they accomplished this by following up a .709 OPS in the first half with a .809 OPS in the second half. Despite this marked improvement and solid overall numbers, c...15175Mon, 16 Oct 2023 12:20:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/byron-buxton-knee-best-case-scenario-joe-mauer/It is very possible that Byron Buxton's knee is chronically and/or structurally compromised, in which case this year will only serve as a harbinger of things to come. Maybe he never bounces back from this and his body ends up forcing him to retire at any early age. Could happen. But frankly...15168Mon, 16 Oct 2023 00:21:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/jose-abreu-and-michael-brantley-cement-their-legacy-as-twins-killers-r15181/Every Twins fan has a list of players they begrudgingly think back on who’s done the most damage to the team over the years. Players such as Frank Thomas, Mike Sweeney, Miguel Cabrera, Cliff Lee, Mark Mulder, etc. have always shunned some terror in fans' memories.  Jose Abreu and Michael Br...15181Sun, 15 Oct 2023 21:16:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-12-biggest-offseason-questions-their-answers-part-1-r15185/Question 1: What will Byron Buxton 's role be next year? Magic 8-Ball: Concentrate and ask again We discovered yesterday that Buxton is undergoing an additional knee surgery, but this one is arthroscopic, which is important because it is less invasive and has a faster recovery.

Walking with a weighted vest on. Around the parking area and on the field pregame.

It wasn’t only the talent that the club had at its disposal, but the way the team gelled.
