That leaves decisions to be made on seven players, whether it’s an IL...13858Wed, 15 Mar 2023 10:19:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/overlooked-lefty-danny-coulombe/Rocco Baldelli will have a much better bullpen entering this season than last year. That much is already a given. Jhoan Duran is established as an elite arm, Jorge Lopez was an All-Star closer in 2022, and Griffin Jax has emerged as a high-leverage arm. The Twins are in a much better position....13842Tue, 14 Mar 2023 16:22:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-check-in-on-the-chicago-white-sox-r13846/  How did last season go? With clowns to the left of them and jokers to the right, the White Sox finished… 2nd in the AL Central—not quite stuck in the middle, but close enough to make the difference negligible.  There’s something eternally frustrating about a .500 team; the Lord con...13846Tue, 14 Mar 2023 13:16:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-left-field-2023-gallo-gordon-larnach/Projected Starter: Joey Gallo Likely Backup: Nick Gordon Depth: Michael A. Taylor, Trevor Larnach, Gilberto Celestino Prospects: Emmanuel Rodriguez, Yasser Mercedes, Misael Urbina THE GOOD In many ways, Gallo presents the ideal corner outfield specimen.

In January, the Twins quietly signed right-handed pitcher Jose De Leon to a minor-league contract and invited him to big-league spring training. Yes, this is the same Jose De Leon that the Twins (and Twins fans) coveted back in 2016 when there were Brian Doz...13853Tue, 14 Mar 2023 02:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-best-twins-rotations-of-the-last-25-years-r13852/  With this year’s rotation looking promising and, so far, healthy, let’s rank the past 25 years of Twins rotations. Fangraphs WAR will feature prominently in the rankings, but contextual factors are considered, as well. I also included AL rankings. As a point of comparison, the number...13852Mon, 13 Mar 2023 23:20:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/caution-with-alex-kirilloff-byron-buxton-jorge-polanco/Rocco Baldelli has been putting together lineups during 2023 spring training for over two weeks.

Because of this, Derek Falvey and Thad Levine have dipped into the team's farm system to trade for veteran pitchers to add to the big-league roster.

It makes sense, given the current roster the Twins have that contains Joey Gallo, Max Kepler, and a plethora of fly-ball pitchers. But, one other Twins player may be significantly affecte...13839Sun, 12 Mar 2023 16:20:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/another-setback-for-austin-martin-r13832/  Austin Martin mysteriously disappeared from spring lineups for about a week before the Twins announced that he was shut down with the dreaded UCL sprain, an injury that often leads to Tommy John surgery in pitchers.
