After its declaration of bankruptcy, the Diamond Sports Group—a subsidiary of Sinclair that broadcasts Bally Sports North among many regional sports networks (RSN)—annou...15218Wed, 25 Oct 2023 17:14:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/has-louie-varland-potentially-pitched-himself-out-of-the-rotation-r15209/Louie Varland even making the big leagues is a feat in and of itself - the former Concordia-St. Paul Golden Bears pitcher was a 15th-round pick in 2019. That’s relatively rarefied air to make something out of yourself at the highest level, but if you’ve followed along, his desire to be great isn...15209Wed, 25 Oct 2023 14:11:24 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-long-term-contracts-payroll-correa-buxton-lopez/When the current front office took over, the Twins had almost no history of handing out nine-figure contracts, nor anything remotely close. The only time Minnesota had ever surpassed the century mark (in millions) was Joe Mauer's $164 million extension, signed after his MVP season in 2009....15215Wed, 25 Oct 2023 12:25:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/class-reunion-3-former-twins-who-might-fit-on-the-2024-roster-r15211/Some players leave an organization with fans hoping to see the player return at some point in their playing careers. Torii Hunter fit that mold for the Twins by playing seven years away from Minnesota before returning for his final season. Other players can leave on a sour note, and fans may hes...15211Tue, 24 Oct 2023 17:15:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/stealing-the-show-why-twins-should-prioritize-stolen-bases-in-2024-r15206/A good person is someone who attempts to live a sound moral life in an entirely corrupt world. That means avoiding the temptation of morally corrupt actions like fraud, violence, lying, and theft and instead doing what is right in the name of actively attempting to be a good person.  Though...15206Tue, 24 Oct 2023 14:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who-solidified-themselves-as-playoff-hitters-for-the-twins-and-who-didnt-r15213/In 2023, the conversation for the Twins in the playoffs finally changed. There were media outlets in September suggesting it would be good for the five seed to “tank” in order to face three-seeded Minnesota in the Wild Card round since “bulletin board material” didn’t apply to such a cursed fran...15213Tue, 24 Oct 2023 12:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/breaking-levine-no-longer-a-finalist-for-red-sox-job-r15220/But something must have changed in the last 72 hours, though it is unclear if Boston pulled the plug on negotiations or if Levine may have turned down the job or simply removed himself from consideration.  After trading Mookie Betts in February 2020 in a move that appeared to be pushed by o...15220Tue, 24 Oct 2023 04:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/boston-red-sox-pursue-twins-gm-thad-levine-front-office/Thad Levine and Derek Falvey have been Minnesota’s dynamic duo since November 2016. It was clear from their opening press conference that the goal was sustainable contention. The Twins were coming off an MLB-worst 103 losses, so it would take time to rebuild multiple parts of the organization to...15217Mon, 23 Oct 2023 17:13:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-will-the-twins-approach-a-thin-free-agent-pitching-class-r15197/Going into the season, the front office made a difficult decision to flip fan-favorite batting champion Luis Arraez in exchange for Pablo Lopez. That worked out wonderfully for both teams, and the Twins got an Ace. They backfilled Arraez’s spot with Edouard Julien and now have much more praise f...15197Mon, 23 Oct 2023 14:19:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-could-a-jhoan-duran-extension-take-shape-r15207/When contemplating a long-term, life-altering extension with a ballplayer, many factors must come into play. We will discuss a few of them below before jumping into my thoughts on what such a contract might look like for Jhoan Duran.

They just won the AL Central behind a youth-fueled surge in the second half, and made noise in the playoffs for the first time in almost 20 years.  They're able to bring back a majority of their roster, and could field a contending te...15212Sun, 22 Oct 2023 19:05:45 +0000
