The Pittsburgh Pirates are not good, will not be good, and probably won’t be any better any time soon. That said, McCutchen is among the best clubhouse guys in baseball, and he ce...13537Wed, 18 Jan 2023 02:12:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/player-comps-corner-fielders/In "Fun with Player Comps" I look at player comps for 30 current Twins who figure to play a role in 2023, starting with their closest age player from Baseball-Reference.com prior to 2022. Based on each player's general vibe, I then move into the best and worst-case scenarios. Previous installmen...13545Tue, 17 Jan 2023 22:24:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/can-carlos-correa-save-the-twins-infield-too-r13521/When watching a game last year and seeing Carlos Correa make throws, it was hard not to be impressed at the sheer velocity he put behind the baseball. Sometimes it is noticeable as to how quick a guy transitions the ball from glove to hand, while others look as though a rocket exploded from thei...13521Tue, 17 Jan 2023 17:12:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/chris-paddace-pithing-analysis-free/Less than eight months removed from his second career Tommy John surgery, The Twins signed Chris Paddack to a three-year extension.  The why is simple: Locking Paddack into a three-year deal at a low cost could provide them with rotation depth when he recovers. While there is always a risk,...13542Tue, 17 Jan 2023 13:58:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2012-mlb-draft-retrospective-twins-correa-buxton/Last June marked the 10-year anniversary of the 2012 MLB Draft, led by the 1-2 punch of Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton at the top. A decade later, these former high school superstars have followed very different paths to the same destination: featuring as twin faces of the Twins franchise, now a...13543Tue, 17 Jan 2023 12:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-ink-contracts-with-three-top-international-prospects-r13536/The Minnesota Twins are one of eight teams that received a competitive balance pick in Round B of the 2023 draft. That meant their international signing bonus pool is capped at $6,366,900. That doesn’t represent an influx of money, but rather the allotment the Twins have at their disposal to chi...13536Tue, 17 Jan 2023 06:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-offseason-news-correa-paddack-arraez-trade-rumors/  When last we checked in with a status update, mum was the word. Despite some hiccups, Carlos Correa appeared destined to sign with the Mets, and it was unclear how the Twins could still find a way to make a splash. Ten days later, the narrative has been flipped upside down. They foun...13538Mon, 16 Jan 2023 18:04:51 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/for-better-or-for-worse-twins-success-tied-to-byron-buxton-and-carlos-correas-health-r13523/Twins fans can take a breath after the Carlos Correa free-agent saga ended with him returning to Minnesota. There will be fans that feel that Minnesota was Correa's fallback option. Other fans are going to be frustrated by the way the process played out over the last month. Still, Correa is sign...13523Mon, 16 Jan 2023 17:21:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/have-the-twins-improved-the-roster-this-winter-r13534/Coming into the winter, it was beyond evident that Carlos Correa was the chief focus for the front office. We saw them come up short on initial dollars, and then things came full circle when his re-signing saved the offseason. Save may need to be used loosely as we still have plenty of areas to...13534Mon, 16 Jan 2023 14:41:16 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-case-to-bring-back-miguel-san%C3%B3-r13516/The Twins paid Miguel Sano over $9 million for only one home run among five hits in 60 at-bats in 2022. And then paid him another $3 million to simply go away. Much has been made of Sanó’s inability to stay healthy or in shape or, simply, not show up a few dozen pounds overweight.

What do you expect?”. We should expect that for the next six years, the Twins will push the payroll and the trade market to put a championship-caliber ballclub...13526Mon, 16 Jan 2023 13:30:03 +0000
