After a disappointing series against a bad Nationals team, some fans wonder if this Twins team should be considered contenders going forward. To that, I say…. deep breaths. It’s far too early to count...14099Tue, 25 Apr 2023 20:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who-is-brock-stewart-r14105/With the Minnesota Twins having an open roster spot after optioning Bailey Ober back to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday, they have decided to use it on hard-throwing righty Brock Stewart. He was not on the 40-man roster, so the Twins chose to Designate RHP Trevor Megill for Assignment.

They are pitching quite well, and were delivered two more excellent outings by Tyler Mahle and Bailey Ober in the Nats series. But they can’t hit themselves out of a paper bag, scori...14103Mon, 24 Apr 2023 22:27:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-roster-decisions-kirilloff-gordon-larnach/One of the less-discussed pleasant surprises in this young 2023 Twins season (perhaps because no one wants to jinx anything) is that the team has enjoyed pretty good health so far. With the exception of Kyle Farmer's scary HBP incident, the team has mostly avoided any serious injuries.

Instead, Rocco Baldelli went with Cole Sands to operate as his long man out of the bullpen. Sands not needing to be prioritized for innings could provide bulk work when Minnesota needed it, or mop things up if gam...14095Mon, 24 Apr 2023 14:09:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/will-the-real-jose-miranda-please-stand-up-r14096/When the Twins moved on from Gio Urshela this offseason, it meant the hot corner was going to be handed over to Jose Miranda. Alex Kirilloff and Joey Gallo would handle the bulk of work at first base, and Carlos Correa was back to take over the shortstop role. At third, Miranda has been better d...14096Mon, 24 Apr 2023 06:32:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/series-preview-those-yankees-again-r14092/On Monday night, the Twins begin a three-game series against the perennial nemesis, New York Yankees.
