Although not every series or game has worked out in Minnesota&#x2019;s favor, it cannot be denied that the hitters have finally figured something out.

Along with the playoffs and the winter meetings, and even the draft, are also great times of the year. The trade deadline is great in many ways whether your team is a buyer or a seller.&#xA0;

	A few bad starts (and a rough Jhoan Duran relief appearance) has led to a string of disappointing losses to end the week. Workload issues could be at play. Joe Ryan (more on him below) is now at 122 innings, which is getting closer to his career high of...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14710</guid><pubDate>Sun, 30 Jul 2023 22:17:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Royals 2, Twins 1: First Place Twins Swept by the Last Place Royals</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/royals-2-twins-1-first-place-twins-swept-by-the-last-place-royals-r14711/</link><description>&#xA0;

He was coming off of two disastrous seasons where he posted a 6.35 ERA in over 222 innings. Keuchel has never been a flame-throwing lefty, but his average fastball velocity dipped to under 88 mph last season.
