It’s impossible to get everything right when evaluating young players in an organization. There were prospects I ranked highly that never put it all together, and others have exceeded exp...14945Tue, 05 Sep 2023 12:23:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-20-guardians-6-twins-bats-on-fire-bury-guardians-in-series-opener-r14946/Box Score SP: Pablo Lopez  6 IP, 8 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 3 K (89 pitches, 57 strikes (73% strikes)) Home Runs: Jorge Polanco (12), Royce Lewis (11), Carlos Correa (17), Joey Gallo (21), Kyle Farmer (9), Matt Wallner (11) Top 3 WPA: Royce Lewis .225, Jorge Polanco .202, Pablo Lopez .082 Win Proba...14946Tue, 05 Sep 2023 01:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-trending-toward-bullpen-of-starters-r14937/This offseason Derek Falvey and Thad Levine decided to do absolutely nothing for the bullpen. They doubled down on that decision by making no moves at the trade deadline. Brock Stewart had emerged as among the best arms in Rocco Baldelli’s bullpen, but he’s now been hurt for weeks, and both Jhoa...14937Mon, 04 Sep 2023 16:14:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/pablo-lopez-quietly-climbing-an-important-twins-list-r14917/Twins fans will look back on the Pablo Lopez for Luis Arraez trade for quite some time. Arraez was a fan favorite, and Lopez was viewed as a good but maybe not great starting pitcher. The Twins' front office felt that Lopez had more to offer as a starting pitcher and believed he could become a t...14917Mon, 04 Sep 2023 13:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/jorge-polancos-return-sparks-twins-playoff-hopes-r14929/Coined "The Twins' Mr. Clutch" in an article by the Pioneer Press's Betsy Helfand in 2021, infielder Jorge Polanco has long been a fixture in modern Minnesota Twins lore.  Whether it be hitting for the cycle at Citizens Bank Park in 2019, skipping a throw to then-Twins second-baseman Luis A...14929Mon, 04 Sep 2023 12:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-fantasy-fix-93-whats-next-for-buxton-r14935/  Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Byron Buxton remains out with some injury questions, and it’s unclear if or when he’ll be able to return. In his second rehab game for the Saints on Friday, Buxton left early with soreness in the patella tendon of his right knee.

In 2022, he got off to a slow start, and the faith in his star talent paid off as he finished the season arguably as the Twins' best hitter. 2023 has been entirely different, and the Twins are...14930Sun, 03 Sep 2023 14:18:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-baseball-brand-is-blossoming-in-twins-territory-r14904/Founded in 2017, Platinum Bat Company has seen consistent growth since getting off the ground just a few short years ago.
