Beyond the return of Carlos Correa, both Kyle Farmer and Donovan Solano bring depth to the left and right of the diamond. But the story doubles in the outfield. Newcomers Michael A. Taylor and Joey G...13788Thu, 02 Mar 2023 16:23:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/checking-in-on-the-bullpen-r13794/With not a single reliever added in free agency for the bulk of the offseason, it appeared the Twins were content trusting their internal options for the bullpen on Opening Day. Things have changed, and the Twins have set the stage for a shakeup in the bullpen, at least at the bottom of the dept...13794Thu, 02 Mar 2023 14:15:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/brooks-lee-top-prospect-potential-carlos-correa/"He makes it look easy" is one of the highest compliments you can pay a person when it comes to something so immensely challenging as playing baseball at the highest level.  And yet, that's Brooks Lee in a nutshell.

He singled in his first at-bat and felt good even before that. On his first swing he pulled a ball fo...13799Thu, 02 Mar 2023 02:44:31 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who-is-the-twins-biggest-rival-for-2023-r13775/Of course, it is fair to suggest that the team to beat is the reigning division champions. Terry Francona’s Cleveland Guardians won the division with 92 wins a season ago. Despite Rocco Baldelli’s Minnesota Twins having led the division for most of the year, it was the Chicago White Sox who fini...13775Wed, 01 Mar 2023 22:20:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/starter-or-reliever-series-josh-winder-r13783/Entering last season, Jhoan Duran had been a starting pitcher for his entire career. A lengthy injury history made the Twins reconsider his long-term role with the club. He was shifted to the bullpen and became one of the team's most valuable assets. Only some players can be as successful in tra...13783Wed, 01 Mar 2023 18:16:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/pitcher-velocity-up/It's not uncommon to hear that a pitcher's velocity is up early in spring training - right up until we actually see in-game radar readings. But we are seeing those now, and the velocity is sticking around. What's going on, and it a positive sign for the future?

He posted a 2.21 ERA and 1.78 FIP in 2022, driven by a high strikeout rate and ground ball rate. Beyond the topline numbers, Moran was great against both right-handed and left-handed hitte...13782Wed, 01 Mar 2023 14:21:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/kyle-farmer-can-be-a-crucial-fit-for-the-twins-r13792/Kyle Farmer knew he was going to get traded this past offseason. It was only a matter of where.  "I'm happy I'm here," he said, looking around the bustling Twins clubhouse ahead of Tuesday's game against Atlanta.  Maybe a little bit less happy than he was at the time of the move. It's...13792Wed, 01 Mar 2023 12:15:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/report-from-the-fort-twins-10-braves-7-mahle-returns-julien-homers-r13791/The Twins triumphed over the Atlanta Braves, 10-7, in Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers on Tuesday afternoon. It was Tyler Mahle's first game since shoulder fatigue shut down his 2022 season, but his stuff looked great, with velocity exceeding last year's average fastball velocity.
