Given the team’s need for a short-term deal and a relatively top-heavy free agent class, there wasn’t a plethora of options to play with. However, there were a handful of...14457Sat, 24 Jun 2023 13:24:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-4-tigers-1-kenta-maeda-dominates-in-ejection-filled-victory-r14473/Box Score Kenta Maeda: 5 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 8 K Home Runs: Royce Lewis (4), Max Kepler (10) Top 3 WPA: Kenta Maeda (.237), Max Kepler (.189), Brock Stewart (.078) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs)   Kenta Maeda returned to a major-league mound for the first time since his...14473Sat, 24 Jun 2023 01:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-the-geek-the-joe-ryan-experience-r14471/14471Fri, 23 Jun 2023 16:41:40 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/series-preview-det-623-625-twins-once-bitten-twice-shy-versus-tigers-r14467/Not much has happened in the last week for the Twins and Tigers, other than everything.  The Twins' self-destruction against Detroit last weekend bled into the Red Sox series, and led to the infamous post-game "we will get better" speech by their skipper.
