Barring something unexpected, it also appears likely to bring an end to Larnach's time wit...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">21186</guid><pubDate>Sat, 19 Sep 2026 16:19:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Emmanuel Rodriguez, Miguel Sano, and the Dangers of a Three True Outcomes Prospect</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/emmanuel-rodriguez-miguel-sano-and-the-dangers-of-a-three-true-outcomes-prospect-r21170/</link><description>Emmanuel Rodriguez and Miguel Sano don't exactly look like the same type of baseball player. Sano stood 6-foot-4 and weighed more than 260 pounds during his time with the Twins. Rodriguez is listed at 5-foot-11 and 210 pounds.

The postseason is no longer a realistic possibility, and the final days of the season are increasingly about evaluating young players, making decisions for 2027, and figuring out which pieces might still fit into the organization'...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">21175</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 Sep 2026 15:04:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>How Should the Twins Construct Their Lineup Down the Stretch?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-should-the-twins-construct-their-lineup-down-the-stretch-r21142/</link><description>At long last, Emmanuel Rodr&#xED;guez is in the major leagues. After years of waiting to see one of the most talented offensive prospects in the Twins&#x2019; system reach Target Field, Rodr&#xED;guez has arrived, and he's taken up a flexible role in what remains a shifting outfield picture for the team.

Christian V&#xE1;zquez was leaving after an underwhelming three-year run in Minnesota, and the team needed someone capable of bridging the gap behind the plate. They landed on Victor Caratini.

The record certainly makes that argument easier.

Josh Bell, Victor Caratini and now Royce Lewis have all graded out as below-average defenders at the position this season. Bell is probably gone after this year, and Caratini could becom...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">21157</guid><pubDate>Thu, 17 Sep 2026 14:41:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Which Twins Players Are Playing Their Last Games in Minnesota?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/which-twins-players-are-playing-their-last-games-in-minnesota-r21169/</link><description>Even with games remaining on the schedule, the Twins' offseason roster decisions are beginning to take shape.
