He had some intriguing offspeed stuff, was missing bats, and locking down games.  The Twins may have thought they could take a pitcher...13418Tue, 20 Dec 2022 14:00:06 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/here-is-how-the-minnesota-twins-can-save-their-offseason-r13414/There was no question that Carlos Correa was the focal point for Derek Falvey and Thad Levine this winter. Rocco Baldelli wanted him back, as did superstar Byron Buxton. Everyone said the right things, but when the dust settled the Twins presented an offer that was never going to get it done and...13414Tue, 20 Dec 2022 13:20:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-can-nick-gordon-do-for-an-encore-r13408/  Entering the 2022 season, expectations were low for Nick Gordon and what he could provide the Twins. The former top-five draft pick spent much of the last decade considered one of the organization's top prospects. He was on national top 100 lists from 2015-2018 and reached Triple-A as a 2...13408Mon, 19 Dec 2022 17:48:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/joey-gallo-is-a-land-of-contrasts-r13406/  In the late spring of 2019, as temperatures rose in Texas and the night skies over Arlington were peppered with little white dots, a once-heralded prospect made an astonishing imprint on the game of baseball. You’d be forgiven for assuming that the increased heat was due to normal seasona...13406Mon, 19 Dec 2022 14:19:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-need-a-minnesota-miracle-r13409/  On Saturday, the Minnesota Vikings fell behind the Indianapolis Colts, 33-0 at halftime. The team was frankly very bad in all aspects of the game. The defense bent and broke. Special teams allowed a blocked punt and a few long returns. The offense didn't get much going at all, and when th...13409Mon, 19 Dec 2022 12:12:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/too-many-outfielders-another-perplexing-acquisition-for-the-twins-r13404/Getting rid of Gio Urshela was the let-down of the off-season for me. Urshela came in quietly, didn’t say much, but he let his defense and at-bats speak for themselves. He quickly became a fan favorite and had the whole stadium singing his walk up song’s chorus, “Take this world and give me GIO”...13404Sun, 18 Dec 2022 19:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-have-the-twins-top-30-prospects-from-2019-panned-out-in-2022-r13400/  It's hard to believe that the Twins' phenomenal Bomba Squad 2019 was almost four years ago, but 2023 will be here before we know it.  As the time approaches, its fun to look back at the Twins' top 30 prospects of the time, according to MLB.com, and how their 2022 seasons panned out a...13400Sun, 18 Dec 2022 17:25:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/joey-gallo-twins-rebound-yankees-dodgers/  Before we talk about Joey Gallo at his worst, let's talk about Joey Gallo at his best, which is the form he'll seek to recapture in a make-good contract with the Twins.
