It is not an issue that has flown under the radar, either. Season after season, the lineup has leaned heavily to the left side, often prioritizing corner outfielders with power from th...20082Fri, 10 Apr 2026 16:08:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/james-outman-has-struggled-mightily-how-long-can-he-hold-onto-a-job-r20098/The 2025 trade deadline was an eventful one for the Twins. By letting go of some key contributors (Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax, and more), they received a mix of prospects and controllable big-leaguers. One of those players, Taj Bradley, has already been a positive contributor. However, another acq...20098Fri, 10 Apr 2026 14:05:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ryan-jeffers-getting-comfortable-getting-his-team-out-of-jams-and-getting-closer-to-a-payday-r20102/No one can accuse Ryan Jeffers of being selfish. Though he'll sometimes hide himself away to undergo treatment during open clubhouse times, when he's near his locker, he's as generous with the media as any member of the team. He's conscientious about meetings and collaboration with his pitchers...20102Fri, 10 Apr 2026 11:53:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-3-tigers-1-mick-abel-shoves-brooks-lee-delivers-late-to-seal-sweep-r20106/Box Score Starting Pitcher: Mick Abel - 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 6K (102 pitches, 70 strikes (69% strikes)) Home Runs: Josh Bell Top 3 WPA: Mick Abel (0.37), Brooks Lee (0.31), Josh Bell (0.17) Win Probability Chart (via Baseball Savant):  The Twins came into Thursday afternoon r...20106Thu, 09 Apr 2026 20:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/so-far-the-twins-bullpen-is-the-softest-tossing-relief-corps-in-a-decade-r20105/It's not that the Twins don't throw hard. That's not the remarkable thing about their collection of fringy relief arms. What's remarkable—what might end up being quasi-historic, though it will probably change later this year—is how far they are from throwing hard. In Taj Bradley, they have one o...20105Thu, 09 Apr 2026 20:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/taj-bradley-holds-the-key-to-converting-front-office-skeptics-r20096/I was a major critic of what the Twins did at the trade deadline last year. I didn't have a problem with selling, but selling to the overwhelming extent the front office did felt, to me, overboard and ill advised. A commitment to losing beyond 2025. Minnesota offloaded quite a bit of talent with...20096Thu, 09 Apr 2026 11:46:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-8-tigers-6-early-onslaught-strong-bailey-ober-outing-earn-twins-first-series-win-r20100/Box Score Starting Pitcher: Bailey Ober - 5.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K (99 pitches, 64 strikes (64.6% strikes)) Home Runs: None Top 3 WPA: Byron Buxton (0.11), Luke Keaschall (0.08), Bailey Ober (0.08) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) Coming Out Swinging   The Twin...20100Thu, 09 Apr 2026 02:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/byron-buxton-deserves-better-than-his-early-results-r20094/A couple of weeks isn’t enough time for the standings to mean much, but it is enough time for early narratives to start forming. When it comes to Byron Buxton, the early numbers describe a hitter who is searching for answers. Through his first stretch of games, the production simply hasn’t...20094Wed, 08 Apr 2026 23:07:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/dodging-the-curveball-of-commitment-r20087/Over the past few weeks, the conversation around the Minnesota Twins has drifted toward the future and who might be locked into it. Names like Walker Jenkins continue to surface, despite the fact that he has yet to make his big-league debut. Other teams around the league are locking up players o...20087Wed, 08 Apr 2026 16:02:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/bailey-ober-trusts-his-changeup-a-lot-right-now-everything-else-is-a-battle-r20093/You never see a pitcher for whom things are going well practicing their stance on the rubber or the way they break their hands in front of their locker in the clubhouse. There's plenty of space in the Twins' home clubhouse at Target Field, but not so much that anyone would be tempted to move mea...20093Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:00:06 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/with-the-taj-bradley-deal-twins-might-have-fleeced-the-rays-again-r20091/It's not often that a team can say it got the better of the Tampa Bay Rays in a trade. Around baseball, that front office has built a reputation for being a step ahead; squeezing value out of every move; and rarely, if ever, coming out on the losing end of a deal. Yet, the Minnesota Twins may ha...20091Wed, 08 Apr 2026 12:05:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/anatomy-of-an-at-bat-ryan-jeffers-finally-conquers-tarik-skubal-r20089/There are certain matchups in baseball that begin to feel inevitable. A pitcher seems to have a hitter’s number, the results stack up, and eventually every new plate appearance feels like a rerun. For Ryan Jeffers, that reality had long existed against Tarik Skubal. Entering Tuesday night,...20089Wed, 08 Apr 2026 10:16:00 +0000
