On December 13th, Carlos Correa reached agreement with the San Francisco Giants on a 13-year, $350 million contract. It would've ranked as the second-largest for any free agent in MLB history. Alas, it was not to be.  Just be...13442Tue, 27 Dec 2022 19:37:30 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-mets-changed-the-game-r13432/  Steve Cohen is a man outside of MLB. He views his team as a fan, not a businessman.

Cohen is a different beast. H...13432Tue, 27 Dec 2022 17:15:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/varland-correa-gallo-top-20-twins-2022/  2022 was many things for a baseball fan and specifically fans of the Minnesota Twins. The year began with the players locked out by the owners. They reached an agreement in early March and spring training soon began.
