They did get involved in the Mookie Betts deal with the Dodgers that sent Brusdar Graterol to Los Angeles in exchange for Kenta Maeda, but because Boston had balked at Graterol's medicals, that ended up being two separate deals.

In 335 plate appearances, he had an OPS of .858, 34 percent above league average, fueled by a second half in which he slashed .294/.379/.549.

He has a strong chance to be selected on the first ballot.

	1. O/U Win Total: 86.5 wins

	The Twins finished with 87 victories last year, in a historically bad division. The early total has them hovering around that number again in 2024.

Will your car start when you leave your home? Will you develop frostbite on your fingers if you don't wear gloves outside? Does your girlfriend still love you?

It's easy to see why that comparison would feel natural.

With two years of team control left, he might not cost quite what the Marlins gave up to acquire him last season, but his price remains high.

Some fans might get frustrated with his approach to constructing the batting order, but he alters his hitters depending on the starter for the day and other matchups. The Twins' lineup isn&#x2019;t finalized for 2024, which can mak...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">15514</guid><pubDate>Mon, 15 Jan 2024 16:19:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Table Setter, Jan. 15, 2024: Marlins May do What?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trading-luis-arraez-free-agents-jordan-hicks-joe-mauer-hof-update/</link><description>While there weren&#x2019;t any huge moves over the weekend, the free-agent pool continues to be chock-full of big names. The Athletic&#x2019;s top 25 options still has eight unsigned players, and the cream of that crop includes Blake Snell, Cody Bellinger, Jordan Montgomery, and Josh Hader.
