On December 13th, Carlos Correa reached agreement with the San Francisco Giants on a 13-year, $350 million contract. It would've ranked as the second-largest for any free agent in MLB history. Alas, it was not to be.  Just be...13442Tue, 27 Dec 2022 19:37:30 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-mets-changed-the-game-r13432/  Steve Cohen is a man outside of MLB. He views his team as a fan, not a businessman. Other franchises may penny-pinch, cry poor, or slice on the margins in a twisted strategic game dressed as analytical wisdom yet ultimately rooted in the almighty bottom line. Cohen is a different beast. H...13432Tue, 27 Dec 2022 17:15:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/varland-correa-gallo-top-20-twins-2022/  2022 was many things for a baseball fan and specifically fans of the Minnesota Twins. The year began with the players locked out by the owners. They reached an agreement in early March and spring training soon began. The Twins were incredibly busy after the lockout ended, signing players...13441Tue, 27 Dec 2022 15:18:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/terrible-baserunning-injuries/Last year, the Twins were 20.7 runs worse than an average team on the bases, according to FanGraphs. That was the second-worst mark in MLB. They stole (or even attempted to steal) fewer bases than any other team. They took the extra base on hits at a below-average rate, and they made outs on the...13439Tue, 27 Dec 2022 13:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/did-the-twins-miss-something-with-carlos-correa-r13436/After Derek Falvey was able to shed Josh Donaldson’s salary in a trade with the New York Yankees, the Twins all of a sudden had additional funds. Thinking they were linked to Trevor Story relatively heavily, it wound up being Carlos Correa that they made a pact with in the wee hours of the night...13436Mon, 26 Dec 2022 23:15:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/taylor-rogers-contract-giants-free-agent-relievers/  The Giants and Taylor Rogers reportedly agreed last Friday to a three-year deal worth $33 million. This kind of contract wouldn't have been to surprising had it been signed, say, mid-way through the 2021 season, during which Rogers was an All-Star for the Twins.  But he missed the la...13438Mon, 26 Dec 2022 19:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/3-twins-players-who-need-to-step-up-in-2023-r13424/When it comes to 2023, improved health has to be the Twins’ most important resolution. Minnesota sat atop the AL Central for most of 2022, but the club couldn’t overcome one of baseball’s most injured rosters. Luckily, a new year brings hope for the club’s future, and these three players need to...13424Mon, 26 Dec 2022 16:18:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/looking-toward-the-bullpen-market-r13431/In 2022, as has been the case several recent seasons, the Twins’ patchwork bullpen was an unmitigated disaster for much of the first half of the season. While their 3.68 bullpen ERA through the end of May looks fine and grades as middle of the pack, the 0.2 fWAR accumulated in that time was dead...13431Mon, 26 Dec 2022 13:22:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mlb-five-bargain-free-agent-contracts/  There have been some contracts this offseason that the Twins have wisely passed on because of the economics. Many times, free agent contracts are inherent overpays and for a team like the Minnesota Twins, they don’t all make sense. Players like Jacob deGrom, Justin Verlander, and Aaron Ju...13428Sun, 25 Dec 2022 15:21:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/looking-ahead-to-joe-mauers-first-hall-of-fame-ballot-r13415/There are a variety of ways to examine a player’s Cooperstown case. JAWS is one way to measure a player's Hall of Fame worthiness as it averages their career WAR with their seven-year peak WAR. Jay Jaffe developed it to compare players' Hall of Fame candidacy across different eras. Some position...13415Sun, 25 Dec 2022 13:13:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/carlos-correa-mets-deal-question/Stop me if you've heard this before - but Carlos Correa 's new team has concerns about his physical. This morning Ken Rosenthal and Dan Hayes reported that the Mets, who agreed to a $315M 12-year deal with Correa earlier this week, have medical concerns about Correa. Can this open the...13433Sat, 24 Dec 2022 18:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/3-third-baseman-trades-that-could-provide-the-twins-a-productive-bat-r13430/The Minnesota Twins officially (again) lost Carlos Correa and one of their most impactful bats to the New York Mets. That still leaves the Twins with a huge void to fill in the middle of their lineup. It will be impossible to replace Correa truly, but there may be a path to replace some of his v...13430Sat, 24 Dec 2022 13:34:01 +0000
