Because of this, Derek Falvey and Thad Levine have dipped into the team's farm system to trade for veteran pitchers to add to the big-league roster. The Twins have a trio of vete...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">13837</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Mar 2023 13:25:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 2023 Position Analysis: Shortstop</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-shortstops-2023-correa-farmer-lee/</link><description>Projected Starter: Carlos Correa

	There's been plenty of speculation about how MLB's new rule changes will affect hitters and pitchers. It makes sense, given the current roster the Twins have that contains Joey Gallo, Max Kepler, and a plethora of fly-ball pitchers. But, one other Twins player may be significantly affecte...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">13839</guid><pubDate>Sun, 12 Mar 2023 16:20:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Another Setback for Austin Martin</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/another-setback-for-austin-martin-r13832/</link><description>&#xA0;




	Austin Martin mysteriously disappeared from spring lineups for about a week before the Twins announced that he was shut down with the dreaded UCL sprain, an injury that often leads to Tommy John surgery in pitchers.

	The Minnesota Twins beat the Red Sox 4-3 in a sold-out Hammond Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The return of Boston left-hander Chris Sale from a wrist injury partially explains the attendance.

That obviously doesn't happen, but fans can still look to the minors for hope for the future.

One of the biggest gaps in their roster at the time fell between superstar relief ace Jhoan Duran &#x2013; and pretty much anyone else in their relief corps.

Due to the lockout, he couldn&#x2019;t communicate with the organization and entered Spring Training with a knee issue. Despite suggesting he was healthy, he was slow out of the gate and battled ineffectiveness all season long.
