Judging from all the DMs asking about the event, so are you. So we’re going big – but tickets are limited, so read to the end to find out the best way to get them....13367Mon, 12 Dec 2022 14:04:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-mariners-max-kepler-trade-rumors/  The 2022 season was a characteristic one for Max Kepler: solid yet underwhelming. He was a fairly valuable overall player, posting 2.0 fWAR thanks primarily to his elite defense in right field. His offense, as usual, was suppressed by a debilitatingly low BABIP as opposing defenses suffoc...13371Mon, 12 Dec 2022 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-we-know-about-the-twins-and-dansby-swanson-r13368/  Minnesota’s offseason focus has been re-signing Carlos Correa to a long-term contract. However, the team has kept other options open, including pivoting to other free-agent shortstops, including Dansby Swanson. Swanson is time to multiple teams, so let’s review what the Twins have done re...13368Sun, 11 Dec 2022 22:23:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-and-baseball-through-a-yankees-lens-r13360/Thinking back over his playing career, it’s hard not to view Gary Sheffield as a Florida Marlin. He became synonymous with those pinstripes, and his unique stance was one that many kids growing up in the 1990’s emulated. Sheffield is now 54 and his son, Gary Sheffield Jr., has begun to establish...13360Sun, 11 Dec 2022 15:55:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-latest-on-the-minnesota-twins-and-carlos-rodon-r13365/As Nick Nelson noted yesterday, the Twins pursuit of Carlos Correa remains their top focus. They are a finalist in that race, and bringing back their superstar shortstop on a long term deal would be a great get. What Buster Olney did note a few days ago is that the New York Yankees app...13365Sun, 11 Dec 2022 15:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-history-of-fifth-overall-picks-r13352/For the Twins, the history of the 5th overall pick is short and straightforward: Nick Gordon and B.J. Garbe. Garbe—an outfielder drafted out of Moses Lake, Washington, in 1999—quickly flamed out in the minors with a bat made of balsa wood. Gordon, however, scrapped through some disappointing min...13352Sun, 11 Dec 2022 13:56:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/latest-twins-carlos-correa-rumors-free-agency/  Without question, the Twins remain intensely focused on their pursuit of Carlos Correa, which seems to be pushing all other offseason priorities to the backburner.  Every report on the shortstop's market seems to name them among top remaining suitors, including this latest one from J...13364Sat, 10 Dec 2022 19:17:51 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/whats-happening-with-pablo-lopez-r13359/  Earlier this week I reported that the Twins were in discussions with the Marlins regarding a trade that focused on Pablo Lopez. While Miami has taken Sandy Alcantara off of the table, they are definitely willing to move Lopez. According to multiple sources, there have been a handful of na...13359Sat, 10 Dec 2022 18:05:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2023-breakout-candidates-r13356/  Even if Carlos Correa returns, the Twins roster will not be a geared up contender for the AL Central. Hopefully multiple acquisitions are made, but the Twins will also be relying on several players to break out. Luckily in the case of the Twins, there are plenty of candidates. Trevor...13356Sat, 10 Dec 2022 16:55:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/can-somebody-wake-up-the-al-central-r13353/  Royals The Royals have remained deadly quiet this off-season, not even venturing into “well, maybe he has some potential” waters like they’ve done so often in years past. They’ll likely sign a few low-tier players—they are seldom entirely stuck in neutral—but none of their moves will be...13353Sat, 10 Dec 2022 13:50:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/has-luis-arraez-peaked-r13358/  Okay, so maybe the premise of this story as portrayed above is a little click-baity and very off-seasony, but, at the very least, it’s worth considering, particularly as the rumor mill churns.  Arraez’s exploits during the 2022 season are well-known among Twins fans. He won the team’...13358Sat, 10 Dec 2022 12:20:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-the-geek-winter-meeting-brain-dump-r13357/13357Fri, 09 Dec 2022 17:16:50 +0000
