This is a prospect with a ton of power, but he had previously shown a need to improve his plate discipline. Knowing that he needed to make more contact and be more selective when attemp...13146Wed, 12 Oct 2022 12:08:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-2022-awards-best-pitcher-r13138/While the majority of the Twins’ bullpen struggled to close games, Duran was invaluable all season long. He led American League relievers in Win Probability Added (4.59), frequently facing the opponent’s best hitters in the highest leverage spots. Duran’s “clutch” score registered at 1.26, also...13138Wed, 12 Oct 2022 11:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/as-the-twins-fell-apart-jake-cave-earned-my-respect-r13144/    Jake Cave’s return for 2022 felt frustrating in part when many expected the debut of prospects to be filling those lineup slots. But then an odd thing happened: I didn’t hate Cave this time around. He genuinely seemed to play better every time I expected the worst. And with the sea...13144Tue, 11 Oct 2022 17:07:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ranking-the-2023-free-agent-shortstop-class-r13140/Minnesota is in an interesting situation looking at the 2023 roster. How should the team approach the shortstop position? The Twins expect Royce Lewis to return in the middle of next season, and there’s hope he can be the team’s long-term answer at shortstop. Lewis’ presence leaves the Twins wit...13140Tue, 11 Oct 2022 16:47:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-2022-awards-most-improved-r13134/Honorable Mentions: Griffin Jax: 72.1 IP, 3.36 ERA, 26.9% K rate, 6.9% BB rate, 0.9 fWAR, 0.9 bWAR At the end of 2021, it became clear Jax lacked the pitch mix to thrive as a starter so he made the switch to the bullpen. It’s hard to expect more than what he provided the Twins. Arguably...13134Tue, 11 Oct 2022 12:00:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-2022-best-rookie-jhoan-duran/Twins Daily panelists had three excellent choices in front of them when trying to select the best rookie on this year's Twins team.  Joe Ryan delivered one of the best rookie campaigns by a starting pitcher in team history, posting a 13-8 record and 3.55 ERA in 27 starts. He led the team i...13136Mon, 10 Oct 2022 11:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-minnesota-twins-2023-payroll-preview-r13139/This offseason, we’ll see what Falvine does with their blank canvas, because there has never been a Twins team that could pivot in so many directions in an offseason. It’s the result of sticking to short contracts, dumping Josh Donaldson, and developing minor leaguers to fill spots. But now...13139Mon, 10 Oct 2022 11:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-week-review-season-end-arraez-varland/Weekly Snapshot: Mon, 10/3 through Weds, 10/5 *** Record Last Week: 1-2 (Overall: 78-84) Run Differential Last Week: +3 (Overall: +12) Standing: 3rd Place in AL Central (14.0 GB) Last Week's Game Results: Game 160 | CWS 3, MIN 2: Ober, Urshela Not Enough Game 161 | CWS 8, MIN...13135Sun, 09 Oct 2022 17:06:43 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/will-the-twins-pursue-aaron-judge-r13129/  The Yankees offered Aaron Judge a seven-year, $213.5 million extension last spring, but it was an offer he could refuse. He bet on himself, arguably having the best walk-year in MLB history. He finished the season with an AL-record 62 home runs, and only Luis Arraez kept him from winning...13129Sun, 09 Oct 2022 11:50:07 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-the-twins-look-to-upgrade-from-kyle-garlick-r13132/  2019 seems like a long time ago, back when the Twins’ eyes would light up seeing a left-handed pitcher take the mound. The outfield in particular has become so left-handed heavy that the team’s performance against southpaws as a whole has taken a hit. Trevor Larnach, Max Kepler, Alex Kiri...13132Sat, 08 Oct 2022 12:00:09 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-the-geek-ep-598-turning-the-page-r13133/13133Fri, 07 Oct 2022 15:28:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-weirdest-move-minnesota-could-make-r13124/Right before Opening Day 2022 Derek Falvey and Thad Levine sent Taylor Rogers to the San Diego Padres (along with Brent Rooker) in exchange for Chris Paddack and Emilio Pagan (as well as Brayan Medina). Without them ever suggesting as much, I think there’s a few reasons this deal was made....13124Fri, 07 Oct 2022 12:55:04 +0000
