Outside of that, however, it's been fairly quiet on the offseason front. Most notably, the club has yet to take serious actio...19563Sat, 20 Dec 2025 12:34:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-josh-bells-swing-adjustments-turned-around-his-2025-season-r19550/When Josh Bell signed a one-year contract with the Washington Nationals for the 2025 season, he wanted to change his swing and hit for more power. His hopes were to hit more home runs, and he didn’t mind striking out a bit more. He adjusted his swing and his stance, both from the left side of th...19550Fri, 19 Dec 2025 20:04:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-would-it-cost-minnesota-twins-to-trade-for-baltimores-coby-mayo-r19541/One message from the Twins front office came through clearly at the Winter Meetings. Minnesota wants to hold on to its three stars (Byron Buxton, Pablo Lopez, and Joe Ryan) with an opportunity to trade established talent in return for productive big-leaguers who fit their needs better. The Twins...19541Fri, 19 Dec 2025 12:34:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tom-pohlad-wants-to-earn-back-fans-trust-can-he-do-it-r19557/Tom Pohlad introduced himself as the new face of the Twins on Wednesday, after Joe Pohlad was apparently forced out of his role. Tom is now the sole member of the Pohlad family who will be involved in the business; he plans to be more active; and he claims (that, at least) to understand the chal...19557Thu, 18 Dec 2025 23:09:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-joe-pohlad-era-is-over-before-it-ever-got-its-footing-r19555/During his opening press conference, Tom Pohlad explained over and over that he understood that part of his job was to be pummeled: by the media, by fans, and by curious onlookers to baseball. “The Twins community has lost trust in us as owners,” the new boss admitted. So begins the t...19555Thu, 18 Dec 2025 16:47:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-ownership-transition-goes-from-quiet-money-move-to-extremely-minnesotan-palace-intrigue-r19554/The Minnesota Twins still belong to the Pohlad family, but things are about to be very different than they've been in the past. It's much too soon to guess whether the changes will be for good or ill, but the fact that something big has changed was clear Wednesday afternoon at Target Field. Henc...19554Wed, 17 Dec 2025 23:41:35 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-officially-announce-additions-to-teams-ownership-group-r19552/Four months after publicly backing away from a full sale of the franchise, the Minnesota Twins have taken a significant step toward financial and organizational stability. On Wednesday, the club announced the addition of several new limited partners, all while the Pohlad family maintains control...19552Wed, 17 Dec 2025 17:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/zips-sees-paths-forward-for-the-2026-twins-despite-familiar-questions-r19551/FanGraphs released its annual ZiPS projections for the Twins this week, giving Twins fans their first broad statistical snapshot of what the 2026 season could look like. ZiPS, created by Dan Szymborski, is a projection system that blends recent performance, aging curves, historical comps, and a...19551Wed, 17 Dec 2025 15:18:06 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesotas-next-wave-is-built-on-infield-versatility-r19513/The Twins have been methodical in building an infield pipeline that could anchor the franchise for years, and the 2026 season marks the first true step toward that plan becoming reality. Brooks Lee will open the year at shortstop with Luke Keaschall alongside him at second base, while Kaelen Cul...19513Wed, 17 Dec 2025 12:37:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-the-twins-extend-one-of-their-key-young-players-r19543/Some 2,500 days ago, the Twins announced a pair of five-year pacts for two of their young stars, Jorge Polanco and Max Kepler. It was a shrewd and symbolic move: the pair—signed as international players in the same class, friends as they rose through the system together—served as complementary c...19543Wed, 17 Dec 2025 00:07:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-josh-bells-poor-defense-isnt-something-to-worry-about-r19549/When the Twins signed Josh Bell, it was easy to shrug. This is not the kind of move that lights up the timeline or changes preseason projections overnight. Bell is a veteran switch-hitting first baseman on his fourth team in three years, and defensive metrics have not been kind to him.
