If he can really develop himself into the power hitter many scouts believed he could be when they first discovered him in Venezuela.  Age: 20 (DOB...13662Wed, 08 Feb 2023 13:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/lets-road-trip-2023-trip-11-milwaukee-822-823-r13652/August 22-23 @ Milwaukee Brewers (2 games) American Family Field - 2022 attendance was 2,412,420 (ranked 9th out of 15 NL teams, 14th out of all MLB) Nothing says “scheduling issue” than a two-game road trip in the middle of a pennant push.

As big-time sluggers that failed to realize much of their potential for Minnesota, it was low hanging fruit to bring up that suggestion. Their careers a...13642Tue, 07 Feb 2023 20:38:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/jose-miranda-third-baseman/We have a sound bite of the year candidate already. When asked about Jose Miranda recently, Carlos Correa declared, “Oh, he looks sexy.”  There is much to be excited about regarding the likely five-hole hitter in the Twins lineup. The big one: the guy flat-out hits. After his early season...13649Tue, 07 Feb 2023 16:17:08 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-twins-arm-strength-enough-for-mlbs-post-shift-world-free-preview-r13661/  Like the other 29 MLB teams, the Minnesota Twins face a new defensive challenge in 2023: they’ll have to adapt to rules barring shifts on the infield. When we think about the ramifications of that change, we often focus on fielders’ ability to reach and field the ball. In reality, though,...13661Tue, 07 Feb 2023 14:04:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-2023-top-prospects-9-louie-varland-rhp-r13659/Age: 25 (DOB: 12/9/1997) 2022 Stats: (AA/AAA): 126.1 IP, 3.06 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 10.4 K/9, 3.0 BB/9 ETA: 2023 2022 Ranking: 15 National Top 100 Rankings BA: NR | MLB: NR | ATH: NR | BP: NR   Varland's big-league debut on September 7th was emblematic of his journey as a prospect, which earn...13659Tue, 07 Feb 2023 12:16:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/jorge-polanco-underrated/  MLB teams need players to fit different roles on the roster, from the big bat off the bench to a fireman reliever out of the bullpen. Jorge Polanco is entering his tenth big-league season, and he has quietly become one of Minnesota’s most consistent presences in the line-up. Multiple trai...13648Mon, 06 Feb 2023 22:21:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/versus-left-handed-pitching-2023/  Adding a right-handed bat has been a talking point for the Minnesota Twins all off-season. They somewhat addressed it by trading for Michael A Taylor, who hits right-handed but doesn't hit left-handed pitching exceptionally. With five left-handed hitters currently on the 26-man and switch...13647Mon, 06 Feb 2023 17:22:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mike-radcliff-a-special-individual-r13654/It is always unfortunate that we wait until someone passes away to honor them, and for people to speak glowingly of them and to share stories about that person.

The reality is that, as much as we love Luis, his production is replaceable (but not his at-bats), and his fielding is very replaceable. He also...13645Mon, 06 Feb 2023 14:15:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-2023-top-prospects-10-austin-martin-ss-r13651/Age: 23 (DOB: 3/23/1999) 2022 Stats (AA): 406 PA, 241/.367/.316, 2 HR, 35 RBI, 35 SB ETA: 2023 2022 Ranking: 1 National Top 100 Rankings BA: NR | MLB: NR | ATH: NR | BP: NR What's To Like?
