Alex Kirilloff, Max Kepler, and Trevor Larnach all hit from that side of the plate. With Byron Buxton as the lone right-handed hitter, manager Rocco Baldelli could use more from the right side of the dish. Given what Ga...13259Wed, 16 Nov 2022 16:07:15 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-could-provide-a-bounce-back-opportunity-for-tommy-pham-r13271/  It is Big Bat Week at Twins Daily, and this player may not indeed qualify in that category, but it is a veteran right-handed bat. Since the Twins will potentially be big-game hunting in the shortstop and pitching markets, they may need to fill the need for a right-handed bat in a slightly...13271Wed, 16 Nov 2022 14:01:58 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-add-four-to-their-40-man-roster-r13270/There were two Givens for the Twins to add to their 40-man roster. The team simply was not going to leave Edouard Julien and Matt Canterino at risk to be lost in the Rule 5 draft next month. So they were added. Here is what I wrote about them in my 40-man roster prediction column:  1.) 2B E...13270Tue, 15 Nov 2022 23:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/one-year-boppers-outfield-trade-candidates-for-the-twins-r13256/  In the midst of a sordid Twins season, one of the few hopeful spots was the potential of a number of excellent bats joining the outfield. Nick Gordon seemed to finally figure things out. Matt Wallner looked solid as he tried to extend the stretch run. Alex Kirilloff and Trevor Larnach rem...13256Tue, 15 Nov 2022 18:38:48 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/do-the-twins-have-a-trick-to-lure-free-agents-r13258/Over the years we’ve heard Derek Falvey and Thad Levine use plenty of buzzwords when describing their process as heads of the Twins' front office. One comment that has been made was a willingness to “get creative” in signing new contracts. Creativity leaves plenty to the imagination, but we cert...13258Tue, 15 Nov 2022 16:50:22 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-hitter-free-agents-haniger-martinez-drury/  I'm not saying they can't (or shouldn't) break their trend this year, but the current Twins leadership has developed a pretty consistent pattern when it comes to approaching the offseason. With rare exception, they have stood pat and preserved available resources, opting to spend their do...13255Tue, 15 Nov 2022 12:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-spotlight-of-mark-contreras-r13268/  Anytime a minor-league manager calls a player into his office, that player has to feel some level of anxiety and his mind is certainly running all over the place. 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. The Twins have as many as two players who could be non-tendered on Friday; Emilio Pagan, and Gio Urshela. With a lot of focus in Twins Territory with the non-tender deadline on Gio Urshe...13254Mon, 14 Nov 2022 22:05:34 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-the-geek-should-the-twins-go-all-in-for-a-pitcher-r13263/13263Mon, 14 Nov 2022 17:05:34 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-happens-with-closing-time-for-the-twins-r13236/In 2021 there was no question who was coming in to save games for the Minnesota Twins. 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 +0000
