Although it is more difficult to say to a fanbase that has seen an 0-18 playoff streak reaching nearly 20 years, the best way to win a World Series is to make the playoffs as many times as p...13571Mon, 23 Jan 2023 16:23:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/where-are-they-now-the-twins-last-10-first-round-draft-picks-r13560/Many first-round picks quickly move into the organization’s top prospect lists. Minnesota has seen some successes and failures in recent drafts, with multiple top prospects on the way to Target Field. Derek Falvey and Thad Levine have focused on certain types of players in the draft, which might...13560Mon, 23 Jan 2023 14:17:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-have-a-type-r13569/  Broadly speaking, that outline covers Chris Paddack, Tyler Mahle, and now López; one could argue that Kenta Maeda fits the mold as well. The idea probably stems from two sources: first, the Twins acknowledging themselves as an undesirable home for arms. Big-name starters have eschewed Min...13569Mon, 23 Jan 2023 13:18:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-designated-hitter-options-larnach-julien-gordon/  On March 30th in Kansas City, the Twins will kick off their season against the Royals and presumably a right-handed starter (Brady Singer?). Prior to last week's Pablo López trade, the most likely Opening Day lineup for Minnesota would have featured Alex Kirilloff at first base, José Mira...13577Mon, 23 Jan 2023 02:04:11 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/former-twin-aaron-slegers-announces-retirement-from-baseball-r13575/  Aaron Slegers took to Twitter the other day to announce that, due to a shoulder issue, he is ending his career as a pitcher. For 10 professional seasons, the walk-on Indiana University product hopped between four franchises, accruing 931 1/3 innings spread across the minors and majors; he...13575Mon, 23 Jan 2023 00:23:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/kepler-might-be-a-few-tweaks-away-from-getting-back-on-track-r13570/  No position player in the Minnesota Twins organization has been less appreciated in the last few weeks/months than Max Kepler. After a hot start to the 2022 season, the German outfielder saw his offensive productivity dramatically decrease in the second half of the season, mainly after su...13570Sun, 22 Jan 2023 22:44:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/one-final-free-agent-outfielder-for-the-twins-to-consider-r13551/It shouldn’t be crazy to think that the prize of the Minnesota free agent spending spree will be Carlos Correa. Regardless of how he wound up back with the Twins, they stand to benefit massively from his return on a six-year deal. He joins both Joey Gallo and Christian Vazquez as talents paid fo...13551Sun, 22 Jan 2023 14:15:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/which-twins-pitchers-could-benefit-from-a-matt-wisler-special-r13561/Ask any Twins fan what area of the current roster scares them the most, and the answer will surely be either the top of the starting rotation or in the bullpen. Despite a stronger group of starter candidates and some rosy projections for the relief staff, the fanbase isn’t going to believe it un...13561Sun, 22 Jan 2023 13:16:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/miguel-sano-nelson-cruz-signed/We rarely see players like Chris Davis, Khris Davis, or Chris Carter on the baseball diamond anymore. The Baltimore Orioles immediately looked questionable when giving Chris Davis a bloated deal as analytics began to weigh on-base percentages differently. Both Miguel Sano and Nelson Cruz have sh...13535Sat, 21 Jan 2023 17:23:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-pitcher-hitter-arraez-lopez/The 2022 Minnesota Twins team was ravaged by injuries, which ultimately led to the team's demise. One area of the team that was affected as much, if not more, than any other unit was the starting pitching rotation. Kenta Maeda, Bailey Ober, Chris Paddack, and Tyler Mahle all suffered severe inju...13565Sat, 21 Jan 2023 16:23:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/forgotten-twins-greats-don-mincher-r13559/  Don Mincher was a unique man. “Minch” entered the world on June 24th, 1938, in Huntsville, Alabama—a place soon to experience rapid growth during World War 2 thanks to the Army-established Redstone Arsenal. Throughout an extensive 13-year MLB career, Mincher blasted precisely 200 regular-...13559Sat, 21 Jan 2023 13:25:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/assessing-the-luis-arraez-for-pablo-l%C3%B3pez-trade-r13564/After the Minnesota Twins signed Carlos Correa last week, it quickly became apparent that there was a logjam in the infield and that a move would have to be made. Logically the name that made the most sense for a trade was Luis Arraez. After rumors swirled for weeks about the mutual interest bet...13564Fri, 20 Jan 2023 23:21:02 +0000
