Some of these "longer deals" are arbitration years, again mitigating risk, but Kenta Maeda had four years remaining on his deal (though it was an incent...13606Mon, 30 Jan 2023 17:19:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-did-you-miss-in-twins-fest-live-r13614/With details emerging somewhat late for many of the events surrounding Twins Fest, there was little room to understand some of the changes this year. The Winter Caravan was back but in a significantly truncated form. The route was not nearly as long, and plenty of it was in more private or intim...13614Mon, 30 Jan 2023 16:09:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/front-office-offseason-strategy-addressing-weaknesses/Reviewing the Twins offseason up to this point after a flurry of January activity, some notable trends and focal points emerge. In sizing up the front office's moves this winter, it strikes me that there was a clear intent to address six key areas that factored into last year's fade, starting wi...13613Mon, 30 Jan 2023 13:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-winter-meltdown-returns-with-a-bang-event-recap-r13612/Taking place a few blocks away from Target Field at The Pourhouse, the 2023 Winter Meltdown brought together hundreds of people for a lively night of food, drinks, and baseball chatter.  The staff at the venue did an excellent job keeping up with a huge crowd of attendees, serving up tasty...13612Sun, 29 Jan 2023 23:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/falvey-philosophies-one-year-contracts/This is where the group leaves the biggest footprint. In the Falvey-Levine era, most of the veteran fill-ins discussed in Part 2 have come in the form of one-year contracts, or contracts with vesting, team, or mutual options for the second year. Based on my research, the breakdown in the length...13603Sun, 29 Jan 2023 17:05:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-the-geek-glen-perkins-and-patrick-reusse-at-twins-dailys-2023-winter-meltdown-r13609/13609Sun, 29 Jan 2023 15:46:30 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/forgotten-cf-gilberto-celestino/  Through the end of May, Gilberto Celestino appeared to have turned a corner in 2022. The Twins backup center fielder was slashing .324/.398/.378, 50% above league average by wRC+.With little power to speak of, Celestino was a legitimate offensive contributor for a month or two. And then i...13608Sun, 29 Jan 2023 14:02:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who-do-the-numbers-endorse-as-twins-new-leadoff-hitter-r13601/Last Friday, the Twins finally bit the bullet and shipped Luis Arráez off to Miami in return for Pablo Lopez and two exciting prospects. It’s a sensible move, but the Twins will need to replace Arráez’s production on the field after his 3.2 fWAR 2022 season. Alex Kirilloff appears to be the...13601Sat, 28 Jan 2023 17:22:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/looking-back-on-game-163-r13600/The Detroit Tigers led the American League from May 16th to October 6th, when the game was moved from its original date of October 5th because Brett Favre and the boys had a ball game.  On September 6th, the Tigers held what seemed to be an insurmountable lead of seven games. They went 16-1...13600Sat, 28 Jan 2023 17:22:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-timeline-for-prospects-in-2023-r13585/Last season, Rocco Baldelli saw a significant number of players make their major-league debuts. We finally saw Royce Lewis play shortstop at Target Field, and Jose Miranda earned his way onto the roster after an incredible 2021. Simeon Woods Richardson closed out the season for the Twins, and ho...13585Sat, 28 Jan 2023 14:18:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-falvey-philosophies-part-2-fixing-problem-spots-r13602/The core Falvey Philosophy is to fill out most of the Twins roster from their young core, but it is rare to see a team that manages to fill all areas of the roster with products of its own farm system, and the Twins are no different. The club generally does an adequate job of identifying areas o...13602Fri, 27 Jan 2023 17:23:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-need-to-be-realistic-with-max-kepler-r13596/  There have been points this winter where we were waiting for a Max Kepler trade announcement within the coming hours, such as when Joey Gallo was signed. Here we are at the end of January, however, and not only is Max Kepler still a Twin, it appears that may not change after all....13596Fri, 27 Jan 2023 14:19:02 +0000
