Though ha...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20798</guid><pubDate>Mon, 27 Jul 2026 16:42:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Minnesota Twins 2026 Trade Deadline Superlatives</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-2026-trade-deadline-superlatives-r20800/</link><description>The Minnesota Twins don't have to make a decision about whether they are buyers or sellers in a vacuum. The calendar is making the decision for them. The August 3 trade deadline is just a week away, and Minnesota remains in the American League playoff race. That wasn't necessarily the expectatio...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20800</guid><pubDate>Mon, 27 Jul 2026 15:27:03 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Rays Could Be Perfect Trade Deadline Partner for Two Veteran Twins</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rays-could-be-perfect-trade-deadline-partner-for-two-veteran-twins-r20791/</link><description>The Minnesota Twins enter the trade deadline in an unusual position. They're still trying to compete in 2026, but that doesn't necessarily mean every veteran on the roster is untouchable. Multiple reports suggest the Twins could remain active sellers around the margins, even if they don't launch...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20791</guid><pubDate>Mon, 27 Jul 2026 13:05:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Baseball Gods to Tom Pohlad: 'Aight, Bet'</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-mlb-trade-deadline-candidates-payroll-pohlad-gausman-weaver/</link><description>It wasn't equivocal, and it wasn't compulsory. This April, as part of a slow-motion goodwill tour in which he's tried to rebuild the fan base's faith in (or even tolerance for) his family, Tom Pohlad piped up. He gave Dan Hayes of The Athletic&#xA0;a quote that left little wiggle room. That even seem...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20808</guid><pubDate>Mon, 27 Jul 2026 11:38:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Week in Review: Bouncing Off The Ropes</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-bouncing-off-the-ropes-r20804/</link><description>The Weekly Nutshell:

	Resilience was the defining characteristic of this Twins team in the early part of the season, and it's a trait that's sticking with them as the second half unfolds. They looked to be on the ropes in Cleveland after dropping the first two games, but rallied to take the nex...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20804</guid><pubDate>Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:29:25 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 11, A's 8: Connor Prielipp Sharp In Return, Twins' Bats (and Legs) Win Sloppy Slugfest Late</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-11-as-8-connor-prielipp-sharp-in-return-twins-bats-and-legs-win-sloppy-slugfest-late-r20802/</link><description>Box Score:

Outside of the division leaders and whichever AL East club happened to occupy second place between the Yankees and Rays, there were no clear playoff teams.

There are 60 or so games to go this season. The team came in with low expectations, and there has been a very sour taste in many fans&#x2019; mouths since this time last year, when t...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20793</guid><pubDate>Sun, 26 Jul 2026 11:15:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 2, Athletics 0: Kendry Rojas and the Twins Bullpen Pitch the Twins to Victory</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-2-athletics-0-kendry-rojas-and-the-twins-bullpen-pitch-the-twins-to-victory-r20796/</link><description>&#xA0;

He has developed into one of the American League's most consistent starters, earning an All-Star selection while posting another sub-3.50 ERA season. Better yet, Ryan isn't a rental.
