The Twins wanted more starting pitching depth, an area of surplus for Miami. The Marlins wanted hitters, an area of surplus for the Twins.

After dominating in St. Paul for just under nine innings, the right-hander got the call to the big leagues for the first time since 2019 and hasn&#x2019;t missed a beat. He&#x2019;s overcome an unsightly 15.5% BB rate with his 28.2% K rate in order to post a 1.06 ER...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14366</guid><pubDate>Wed, 07 Jun 2023 12:14:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Rays 7, Twins 0: Twins Take an Extra Off-Day in St. Pete</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rays-7-twins-0-twins-take-an-extra-off-day-in-st-pete-r14365/</link><description>Box Score:

The Twins continue to pace the AL Central, but frustratingly, they haven&#x2019;t been able to run away from the pack quite yet in a weak division.




	Part of the problem has been inconsistent offense, and that can be traced to the team&#x2019;s stars, Carlos Correa and By...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14359</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Jun 2023 03:57:16 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Week in Review: Mixed Feelings</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-mixed-feelings-r14353/</link><description>Weekly Snapshot: Mon, 5/29 through Sun, 6/4
