Well, they were probably called weeks ago, but you know what I mean. They will have nine pitchers (8 right-handed), four extra catchers, four infielders, one outfielder an...15701Tue, 13 Feb 2024 19:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-prospects-the-case-for-david-festa-over-marco-raya-r15681/Baseball America, MLB Pipeline, ESPN, The Athletic, and Baseball Prospectus have each posted their preseason top prospect lists for 2024, including top-100 lists. None of them had David Festa or Marco Raya among them, and as the Twins' fourth- and fifth-ranked prospects universally, the consensu...15681Tue, 13 Feb 2024 15:13:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-table-setter-feb-13-2024-eternal-sunshine-of-the-spotless-twins-fans-mind-r15699/(Warning: Minor Film Spoilers) Last August, I watched Charlotte Wells's film Aftersun for the first time. For those unaware, Aftersun (in the simplest sense) is a 2022 coming-of-age drama film about a father (played by the wonderful Paul Mescal) and his (played by the marvelous Frankie Cori...15699Tue, 13 Feb 2024 14:23:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/projecting-the-2024-minnesota-twins-opening-day-roster-version-20-r15690/It was a slow-moving early offseason for the Twins, before a flurry of moves in recent weeks. The Jorge Polanco trade has the most significant impact on the 2024 roster, but the club has also added a veteran hitter and bullpen pieces. Minnesota is still looking to add another outfield bat, so ot...15690Tue, 13 Feb 2024 12:15:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-swapping-nick-gordon-for-steven-okert-made-sense-on-both-sides-r15696/When Twins fans woke up Sunday morning, the team was still littered with fringy infielders on their 40-man roster, including Kyle Farmer, Austin Martin, Jose Miranda, and Nick Gordon. By mid-day, that all changed. Gordon was dealt to the Miami Marlins for left-handed reliever Steven Okert. ...15696Mon, 12 Feb 2024 16:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-look-back-at-nick-gordons-time-with-minnesota-r15692/There was plenty of uncertainty regarding Nick Gordon’s roster spot for Rocco Baldelli’s 2024 Minnesota Twins, and Derek Falvey dealt with that before spring training kicked off. Out of options and redundant after the emergence of Willi Castro a season ago, Gordon's roster utility and trade valu...15692Mon, 12 Feb 2024 14:18:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/heres-how-brooks-lee-can-earn-the-twins-an-extra-draft-pick-r15683/Entering the 2015 season, Kris Bryant was coming off a monster year in the minor leagues, hitting .325/.438/.661 with 34 doubles and 43 home runs. It was one of the best minor-league seasons ever, and he looked more than prepared to step into a role at the big-league level. Instead, the Cubs sen...15683Mon, 12 Feb 2024 12:39:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/greatest-twins-teams-of-all-time-1991-r15684/The post-World Series journey for the Twins had been strange.

Frank Viola now played in New York, Bert Blyleven in California. No pitcher from the squad tha...15684Sun, 11 Feb 2024 20:33:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-trade-nick-gordon-to-marlins-for-left-handed-reliever-steven-okert-r15691/For the price of a player who was unlikely to make the roster, the Twins added another arm to their growing bullpen staff, the 32-year-old Steven Okert from the Marlins. Nick Gordon had something of a breakout year as a utility player for the Twins in 2022, posting a .272/.316/.427 slash in...15691Sun, 11 Feb 2024 18:40:00 +0000
