According to FanGraphs, the Twins were the sixth-best rotation and the 17th-b...14523Sat, 01 Jul 2023 13:17:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-have-finally-matched-the-yankees-offensively-r14521/  We've all heard about the New York Yankees' dominance over the Twins, but times are changing. For years and eras, the Yankees have been able to mash their way through the American League and buy their way past the Twins' homegrown talent. But no longer.

That makes it challenging to write an article, but I'll do it anyway so that everyone can vent or cheer as relevant.

Most projection systems had them just above .500, finishing first or second in a lousy division. So far, the Twins lead the division but have failed to break away from the .500 mark and risk falling behind Cleveland, who's just as...14507Thu, 29 Jun 2023 13:22:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/carlos-correa-is-the-twins-biggest-problem-r14497/  All was lost on multiple occasions this offseason as the Twins appeared to wait out the Carlos Correa sweepstakes to the point that the rest of the free agent market was bare.
