A couple of weeks in, Correa has yet to exactly live up to the lofty expectations of signing such a lucrative deal. Through ten games, Correa is hitting just .182 with a .492 OPS. On top of that, Correa has missed several games w...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14021</guid><pubDate>Thu, 13 Apr 2023 17:17:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Draft Preview: Midwest #PersonalCheeseballs</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/draft-preview-midwest-personalcheeseballs-r14029/</link><description>The term &#x201C;personal cheeseball&#x201D; (better represented by #personalcheeseball) originated over twenty years ago in the Baseball America offices when former writer and current Twins scout John Manuel started using it as &#x201C;shorthand for a personal favorite that does not reflect the popular consensus.&#x201D;&#xA0;...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14029</guid><pubDate>Thu, 13 Apr 2023 15:21:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Jorge Alcala's Puzzling Start</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/jorge-alcalas-puzzling-start-r14026/</link><description>Jorge Alcala had a mini breakout at the end of 2021 and was prevented from building on it further due to injury in 2022. Headed into 2023, the hope was that he was 100% healthy and could pick up where he left off. So far it appears that may not be the case on multiple fronts.

For the second year in a row, the Twins moved their&#xA0;Home Opener to Friday, and this seemed to be the right call.

Adding Joey Gallo to the group brings high upside to an outfield already very talented on paper. The problem is most of the players the Twins will be relying on to play the outfield in 2023 are coming off down or injury-plagued y...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14020</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Apr 2023 13:16:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 4, White Sox 3: Lopez Dominates in another Wild Walk-Off Win!</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-4-white-sox-3-lopez-dominates-in-another-wild-walk-off-win-r14024/</link><description>Minneapolis - On the heels of their second two-game losing streak in 2023, the Twins sought to take a positive step toward winning another series in Game 2 at Target Field against an old teammate, Lance Lynn. Pablo Lopez started the game off shaky, committing an error, allowing three hits, and s...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14024</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Apr 2023 02:29:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Catching Up With Tyler Duffey</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/catching-up-with-tyler-duffey-r14019/</link><description>ST. PAUL &#x2013; Tyler Duffey&#x2019;s tenure with the Minnesota Twins did not end how he hoped it would in 2022. He made his last appearance in a Twins uniform on August 4, and surrendered three runs on four hits and a walk in just 1 2/3 innings against the Toronto Blue Jays.&#xA0;

What could soften the blow was a level of production from the incoming Pablo Lopez.

Buxton&#x2019;s injury history is well documented. Minnesota&#x2019;s All-Star center fielder has only played over 100 games in one big-league season. His value to the Twins is undeniable, with 48 home runs in his last 16...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14015</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Apr 2023 12:16:02 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
