He then started well for Triple-A St. Paul and forced his way up to the majors when the second base position became a cause for concern. Having filled in for both Kyle Farmer and Don...14677Wed, 26 Jul 2023 17:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/5-reliever-trade-targets-on-expiring-contracts-r14667/The Royals already traded Aroldis Chapman to the Texas Rangers to set the reliever trade market. Other reliever options might not be as well known as Chapman, but they can impact important games down the stretch. Minnesota’s late-inning options have been performing well, but other arms can add d...14667Wed, 26 Jul 2023 15:12:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/former-tiger-jeimer-candelario-trade-target/Since the departure of Trevor Plouffe after the 2016 season, third base has been a revolving door of sorts for the Twins. They tried handing the position to top prospect Miguel Sano, signing Josh Donaldson to a four-year contract, and then trading Donaldson to the Yankees, hoping to replace him...14670Wed, 26 Jul 2023 13:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mariners-9-twins-7-twins-bullpen-implodes-against-the-mariners-r14683/Box Score: Starting Pitcher: Pablo Lopez: 7 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 8 K (94 Pitches, 63 Strikes, 67%) Home Runs: Matt Wallner (2), Michael A.

As we now know, that margin was as high as it would ever get. Minnesota's l...14681Tue, 25 Jul 2023 19:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/two-relievers-to-watch-for-the-twins-r14680/Looking at the Twins roster, there are a couple of key areas they’ll need to add. The outfield has been entirely left-handed heavy, and the bullpen is very heavily-reliant on Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax. If there is a straightforward opportunity to add, it’s in both of those key areas.

Minnesota had clear needs at the deadline, and the team addressed those needs by trading for one of the top available starting pitchers, two late-inning relievers, and a back-up catcher. The Tyler Mahle and Jorge Lope...14672Tue, 25 Jul 2023 13:15:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-4-mariners-3-maedas-gem-and-late-inning-heroics-twins-stay-hot-r14679/Box Score SP: Kenta Maeda: 6.1 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 8 K (98 pitches, 58 strikes (59.2%) Home Runs:  Top 3 WPA: Max Kepler (0.443), Christian Vazquez (0.300), Jovani Moran (0.170) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs)  Monday night marked the Minnesota Twins second meeting wi...14679Tue, 25 Jul 2023 02:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-number-one-starter-bailey-ober-r14668/The Twins rotation has been a pronounced strength all season despite an underperforming offense and injured bullpen dampening its results. Sonny Gray and Pablo López were both All-Stars, while Joe Ryan very well may have been if he hadn’t pitched the Sunday before the break. Kenta Maeda has pitc...14668Mon, 24 Jul 2023 17:19:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/considering-a-trade-for-ryan-mountcastle-r14661/We, the good, dutiful Twins fans, have poked high and low over the past few weeks, interrogating each poor team’s roster for potential improvement. These players may be wasted with their current franchise, after all; might a move to the dynastic Twins better both side’s fortunes? Indeed, there a...14661Mon, 24 Jul 2023 15:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-the-twins-shop-a-young-corner-bat-r14660/Between Max Kepler, Joey Gallo, Trevor Larnach, and Matt Wallner, the Twins have four left-handed corner outfielders for two spots, and no DH role open with Byron Buxton appearing to be no closer to returning to the field. This, of course, is before Nick Gordon returns from the 60-day IL. The Tw...14660Mon, 24 Jul 2023 13:15:01 +0000
