On a Monday in early May, Mark Contreras saw his phone ringing, and “Gardenhire, Toby” appeared on the screen. The outfielder...13268Tue, 15 Nov 2022 05:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-kyle-garlick-avoid-arbitration-agree-to-one-year-deal-worth-750000-r13267/  The Good Lord put Kyle Garlick on this Earth to do one thing: mash left-handed pitching. The 30-year-old isn’t a great fielder, has never taken more than 200 plate appearances in a season at the major league level, and consistently fails to hold a Duolingo streak (allegedly). But, he can...13267Tue, 15 Nov 2022 03:38:37 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/potential-non-tender-candidates-the-twins-should-keep-an-eye-on-r13254/  The deadline for MLB team’s to tender contracts to players is coming up this Friday, November 18.

Taylor Rogers had established himself as an All-Star level closer, and when there was a save opportunity in the 8th or 9th inning, he was going to get it. Last season that role started with Emilio Pagan, then...13236Mon, 14 Nov 2022 14:31:44 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-the-twins-bring-back-taylor-rogers-r13250/The Twins have mostly neglected the bullpen in years past and it’s more often than not blown up in their faces. The few additions they typically make are what many consider “bargain bin” pitchers, typically coming off of rough seasons in search of a bounce back. By targeting Taylor Rogers, they...13250Mon, 14 Nov 2022 14:31:34 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/where-does-miguel-sano-rank-on-the-twins-disappointment-scale-r13246/Miguel Sano has been a member of the Twins organization since he was a teenager.

At the time he was a flame-throwing reliever, flirting with just about every potential record that existed for relievers.

At the same time, though, it wasn't expected to be very good. The 2022 club wasn't built around the strength of its pitching, but rather a deep and star-studded lineup, wh...13252Mon, 14 Nov 2022 12:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/fix-jorge-lopez/In 2021 Jorge Lopez was not a good pitcher. To be fair, he really hadn’t been a good pitcher in the 102 games he’d thrown at the Major League level. Across three organizations Lopez tallied a 6.04 ERA while working 350 innings. That is why, after starting 25 games in 2021, the Baltimore Orioles...13241Fri, 11 Nov 2022 12:55:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/luis-arraez-earned-a-2022-silver-slugger-award-r13247/  Luis Arraez became the fifth Twins player to win an American League batting title when he hit .316 over 144 games in 2022.
