The Twins traded away Luis Arraez, even though he looked like a core piece of the lineup for years to come. Minnesota also handed out the largest free-agent contract...15413Sun, 17 Dec 2023 12:20:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offseason-status-update-attrition-by-subtraction-r15421/We all knew coming into this offseason that the Minnesota Twins were likely to move slowly and save their biggest decisions for later.

Had they only been able to see into the future, they could have kept their pencil and traded up to being the proud owners of a used car. That paper clip? Delmon Young. The pencil?

The one time they did so, offering Addison Reed a two-year deal shy of $17 million, it blew up in their faces. With Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax, Caleb Thielba...15403Thu, 14 Dec 2023 17:14:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/lineup-duos-carlos-correa-royce-lewis-aaron-judge-juan-soto/Last week, the Yankees acquired Juan Soto in a blockbuster trade that will have long-term ramifications across the baseball landscape--even though Soto is only making a short-term home in the Bronx.
