However, many believed the club would add to an overworked bullpen and a line-up that has struggled mightily versus left-handed pitching. Instead, the front office will stick with the roster they assembl...14741Fri, 04 Aug 2023 19:11:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-claim-outfielder-jordan-luplow-r14761/Well, this move certainly won't excite the Twins fan base. However, looking for offense against left-handed pitching, Jordan Luplow certainly fits the bill.  The 29-year-old was DFAd by the Blue Jays following Toronto's deadline day acquisitions. He had played just seven games with the Jays...14761Fri, 04 Aug 2023 18:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/remembering-the-big-sexy-game-r14704/Pitching with the Atlanta Braves to start the 2017 season, Bartolo Colon found himself on a team going nowhere the rest of the way. 15 games out of the division, Colon had a bloated 8.14 ERA and was released on DFA’d on June 29. His FIP at 5.09 was enticing enough for a contending Twins team to...14704Fri, 04 Aug 2023 13:17:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/breaking-down-joe-ryans-struggles-whats-going-wrong-r14754/  On June 19, I wrote a piece on Louie Varland and his struggles with giving up an unpalatable amount of home runs. The primary determination was that Varland gave up so many home runs due to poor pitch placement and subpar pitch mix. Varland is a young pitcher not expected to be a main con...14754Fri, 04 Aug 2023 03:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-5-st-louis-3-twins-secure-series-win-as-sonny-gray-snaps-three-month-victory-dry-spell-r14756/  Box Score SP: Sonny Gray 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 8 K (77 pitches, 55 strikes (71%) Home Runs:  Ryan Jeffers (6), Michael A.

It’s easy to compare to the Terry Ryan regime and agree that they’re in a much better place now. That being said, it’s fair to wonder whether their resume undoubtedly makes them the men for the job.

With that news, the Twins had 48 hours to add him to the major-league roster, otherwise Keuchel would become a free agent. Then on Thursday, at se...14755Thu, 03 Aug 2023 20:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/carlos-correa-bad-season-no-breakout/As Carlos Correa stumbled out of the gates in Year 1 of his newly minted $200 million contract with the Minnesota Twins, most of us shrugged. Even as the troubles persisted into May and June, his eventual turnaround always felt like a matter of when, not if.
