He joined Hall of Famers Tony Oliva (3), Rod Carew (7) and Kirby Puckett (1), along with future Hall of Famer Joe Mauer as batting champs. He was an All Star in 2022....13247Fri, 11 Nov 2022 00:33:41 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-offseason-update-correa-sano-gray/  Eight Twins Players Become Free Agents The end of the World Series triggered the official commencement of the offseason, meaning that the following players automatically entered the free agent market: Michael Fulmer, RHP Gary Sánchez, C Sandy León, C Bill...13245Thu, 10 Nov 2022 21:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mlb-officially-starts-a-war-on-war-r13244/Thankfully this offseason we don’t have Major League Baseball owners delaying the start of 2023 through a lockout, but if you can think back to 2021 when that was the reality, an interesting proposal was made. Reporting from The Athletic’s Evan Drellich and Ken Rosenthal highlighted a desire for...13244Thu, 10 Nov 2022 20:23:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/does-a-michael-fulmer-reunion-make-sense-for-the-twins-r13233/After a disappointing 2021 season, the Twins needed to turn things around on the mound. Rocco Baldelli, Wes Johnson, and Pete Maki were cycling through arms left and right. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a substantial foot placed forward for them to do so in 2022. While Sonny Gray was acquired to b...13233Thu, 10 Nov 2022 17:23:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/could-the-twins-continue-without-a-default-closer-for-2023-r13238/  Since becoming manager of the Twins, Rocco Baldelli has avoided designating any of his relievers as the team’s go-to closer. While one reliever has recorded over 20 saves in the Baldelli era (Taylor Rogers with 30 in 2019), no player has come close to 20 since.  This is a change from...13238Thu, 10 Nov 2022 13:27:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/contemplating-a-bullpen-reunion-with-one-former-twin-r13228/In 2012, the Twins made a series of moves to rebuild a rotation that had struggled for two consecutive seasons. At the beginning of December, Minnesota sent Ben Revere to Philadelphia for starter Vance Worley and prospect Trevor May. Worley and Revere haven't played at the MLB level since 2017,...13228Wed, 09 Nov 2022 17:35:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-a-splurge-on-relief-worthwhile-for-minnesota-r13234/Derek Falvey and Thad Levine added Emilio Pagan as somewhat of a throw-in alongside Chris Paddack right before Opening Day. Of course, that move also sent Taylor Rogers to San Diego. Aside from the deal with the Padres, Minnesota’s only move of note in relief was to sign 38-year-old veteran Joe...13234Wed, 09 Nov 2022 14:45:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-rocco-baldelli-derek-falvey-pitcher-usage-experiment/  Having lost their top two starters to a deadline sell-off trade and Tommy John surgery, the Twins headed into last offseason with a barren rotation outlook. It was unclear exactly how Derek Falvey and Thad Levine would realistically be able to offset these big losses. Yes, they had m...13231Wed, 09 Nov 2022 12:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/will-the-front-office-choose-to-build-a-better-bullpen-r13235/I’d argue that bullpen construction is one of the areas in which Derek Falvey-led Twins front office has consistently failed in executing since taking over in Minnesota. In 2021, the pen was marred by repeated first-half meltdowns from Alexander Colomé. That unit ranked 22nd by fWAR, 21st b...13235Tue, 08 Nov 2022 18:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-the-geek-how-much-is-too-much-for-correa-r13237/13237Tue, 08 Nov 2022 17:27:37 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-ryan-pressly-reliever-got-away/  Liam Hendriks and Ryan Pressly spent one season pitching together on the Twins staff. It was 2013, when Pressly had just joined the club as a Rule 5 pick, and Hendriks was playing out the string with the organization that first signed him.  At the time there was no indication we were...13230Tue, 08 Nov 2022 13:00:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/carlos-correa-opts-out-twins-contract/Twins fans have known this moment was coming for quite some time, but Carlos Correa officially opted out of the final two years remaining on his 3-year, $105 million deal.
