Injury had been his bugaboo in recent seasons, and he was ultimately shut down with Texas to undergo an arm procedure. In trading Josh Donaldson and Ben Rortvedt to the New York Yankees, Minnesota opted to pair Rya...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">13323</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Nov 2022 14:08:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Andrew Heaney is the Best the Twins Can Do</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/andrew-heaney-is-the-best-the-twins-can-do-r13312/</link><description>&#xA0;

The only reason they had an opportunity to get a superstar talent for only $100 million is because of his injuries. The organization was given the opportunity to cash in on a steep discount, and they...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">13322</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Nov 2022 17:13:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Minnesota Twins Extension Candidate: Joe Ryan</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-extension-candidate-joe-ryan-r13318/</link><description>&#xA0;




	2022 Recap: Ryan joined the Twins at the 2021 trade deadline and made five starts at the season's end with 30 strikeouts in 26 2/3 innings. It was an impressive start to his big-league career, raising expectations for his 2022 campaign.

	The mutual affinity between Carlos Correa and the Twins does seem genuine. He appears very open to returning, and is at the very least giving Minnesota the time of day by entertaining offers, which is something we've rarely been able to say about top-tier free agents in past years.&#xA0;...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">13328</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Nov 2022 03:44:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What Can We Expect from Joe Pohlad as Twins New Executive Chair?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-can-we-expect-from-joe-pohlad-as-twins-new-executive-chair-r13326/</link><description>Joe Pohlad has been involved with the Twins since 2007, working in areas of the organization that were preparing him for this leadership role.

No viable approach could ever be quite that simple, of course, but theirs comes close. And Kyle Farmer fits into that mold.&#xA0;

	When you think back to this past year's team, and where it came up short, what comes to mind first? Some might point to late-inning bullpen lapses. Others will call out starters who couldn't stay healthy or pitch deep into games.
