Bringing him back as a reclamation project in a weak bullpen doesn't make up for it, but i...19763Thu, 12 Feb 2026 02:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/3-must-watch-twins-pitchers-in-spring-training-%E2%80%8B-r19753/Pitchers and catchers report this week, which means optimism is officially back on the menu in Fort Myers.

Myers Wednesday. With that milestone comes the annual ritual of looking back at what the Twins did (or didn’t do) over the winter. This offseason was not defined by splashy headlines or aggressive spending. Instead, it was marked by modest depth...19759Wed, 11 Feb 2026 16:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rotation-bullpen-or-st-paul-analytically-breaking-down-taj-bradleys-arsenal-r19754/Taj Bradley might have been the best-known name acquired by the Minnesota Twins during the 2025 trade deadline fire sale. A former top 100 prospect, Bradley’s performance plateaued during his third season with the Tampa Bay Rays, who shipped him to the Twins in exchange for the highly coveted Gr...19754Wed, 11 Feb 2026 12:52:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-2026-pecota-projections-or-why-we-keep-calling-the-al-central-winnable-r19756/Baseball Prospectus released its full PECOTA projections for 2026 Tuesday morning, including projected standings and playoff odds. The Twins are, unsurprisingly, forecasted to be a mediocre team, with 79 projected wins, good for third place in the AL Central.

With Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax leading a deep unit, Minnesota was projected to have the highest fWAR in baseball from relief pitchers – one of the big reasons for optimism surrounding the 2025 club.

A report from Daniel Álvarez-Montes states he has agreed to a minor-league deal, with an invitation to spring training.  Urshela, 34, was a lineup stalwart for the Twins in his lone sea...19751Mon, 09 Feb 2026 18:26:14 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tom-pohlad-is-saying-a-lot-and-none-of-it-lines-up-r19747/Tom Pohlad has talked more openly about the Minnesota Twins in recent months than, perhaps, any member of the Pohlad family ever has.
