As we’ve seen so many times, the veteran they brought in is likely making the last stop of his career in Minnesota, and they refuse to cut bait. Signing Joey Gallo was always a risky move, but an under...14804Sun, 13 Aug 2023 17:18:15 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/so-because-you-are-lukewarm-and-neither-hot-nor-cold-i-will-spit-you-out-of-my-mouth-r14805/And, surely, this isn’t an unexpected reaction; the team had been linked everywhere as they sought the few additions clearly needed to round out the team. A left fielder. A relief arm. A time machine to reverse last year’s deadline moves. A cannon to fire Joey Gallo out of. They needed at least...14805Sun, 13 Aug 2023 14:16:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-on-earth-wont-the-twins-move-edouard-julien-to-first-base-r14808/Edouard Julien has been better than anyone could have expected him to be at the plate in his rookie season with the Minnesota Twins. Through his first 67 games with the Twins, Julien is slashing .286/.377/.490 (.867) with 22 extra-base hits.

Yes, they made a deal earlier in the week when they swapped Jorge Lopez for Dylan Floro, but there was much more to be desired as the club approached the August 1st trade deadline.

That led to Bailey Ober and Louie Varland beginning the year with Triple-A St. Paul, and Toby G...14780Sat, 12 Aug 2023 13:22:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/we-owe-max-kepler-and-emilio-pagan-an-apology-r14810/The day was June 11th, and the Minnesota Twins had just suffered what was arguably their worst loss of the season, a 7-6 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays after blowing a two-run lead in the eighth inning. The primary culprit for the loss? Emilio Pagán, who served up a three-run home run to Cavan Bi...14810Sat, 12 Aug 2023 12:14:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/austin-martin-could-be-the-september-spark-the-twins-need-r14807/It is clear to me that certain people – including possibly the Twins manager – have become overly enamored with Willi Castro. He's gone from folk hero to focal point of the offense, drawing a start in the leadoff spot in Friday night's series opener against the Phillies.  Look, I'm not here...14807Sat, 12 Aug 2023 02:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-2-phillies-13-phillies-destroy-dallas-keuchel-every-other-twins-pitcher-in-beatdown-r14806/  Box Score Dallas Keuchel: 1 2/3 IP, 6 H, 6 ER, 2 BB, 0 K Home Runs: Jorge Polanco (7), Max Kepler (19) Bottom 3 WPA: Dallas Keuchel (-.486), Ryan Jeffers (-.073), Joey Gallo (-.054) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) For a moment, it appeared to be 2019 again; the last time...14806Sat, 12 Aug 2023 01:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ranking-the-twins-potential-playoff-opponents-in-2023-r14794/  Coming out of the trade deadline, the Minnesota Twins have been on a tear (pre-Tigers series), while the Cleveland Guardians had been on a slide.
