Before Shohei Ohtani blew out his elbow, he was set to get something north of $600 million in free agency and potentially an ownership stake in a new team.

A quick look at a few readily available bits of information show why it makes sense for them to do it. In addition, many other non-conten...14908Wed, 30 Aug 2023 16:26:57 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/matt-wallner-hit-by-pitch-savant-r14905/There’s an art to being hit by a pitch. While some only occasionally dabble, perfectly content with letting the pitcher hit him on the hurler’s terms, others know that there’s a successful strategy that can earn him a free—albeit painful—trip to first base. Matt Wallner is one of those players....14905Wed, 30 Aug 2023 12:18:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/guardians-4-twins-2-cleveland-bullpen-baffles-twins-lineup-evens-series-r14906/Box Score Starting Pitcher: Pablo Lopez - 6 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 5 K (97 Pitches, 62 Strikes, 64% Strikes) Home Runs: Royce Lewis (9) Bottom WPA: Carlos Correa (-.221), Christian Vazquez (-.128), Royce Lewis (-.082) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) The Twins entered Tuesday night havi...14906Wed, 30 Aug 2023 02:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/max-kepler-josh-donaldson-and-the-power-of-good-clubhouse-vibes-r14903/Clubhouse culture can be complex for fans to gauge from the outside. If the club wins, many of the team's players will report that everything is going great, even if clubhouse issues are under the surface. On the other hand, a clubhouse can devolve into disarray when a club is in the middle of a...14903Tue, 29 Aug 2023 21:19:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/cute-teams-dont-win-in-october-why-the-twins-have-a-better-shot-than-the-orioles-r14901/MLB Network's Matt Vasgersian reflected upon the Twins’ recent excruciating win over Texas with the following statement: “Those are the kind of wins that make you feel like a team of destiny.” That statement made me a little nauseous.

He split time in college as a hitter and a pitcher, but Minnesota drafted him to be on the mound. During his final collegiate season, he posted a 6.84 ERA with a 1.72 WHIP and 9.5 K/9.
