After retooling the relief unit on the fly this year, Minnesota will look to have stronger internal options for 2023 and beyond.

	The Twins went in two different routes for their first two picks in the 2019 MLB Draft. With the 13th overall pick, the club selected Keoni Cavaco, a high school shortstop that saw his stock rise significantly leading into the draft. Later in the first round, Minnesota selected Matt Walln...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">13064</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Sep 2022 10:05:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Royals 5, Twins 4: An Early Three-Run Lead Goes to Waste, Playoff Hopes Diminish</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/royals-5-twins-4-an-early-three-run-lead-goes-to-waste-playoff-hopes-diminish-r13066/</link><description>Box Score

	Frankie Montas was one of the hottest names on the market at the trade deadline, and was known to be pursued by Minnesota last offseason. The Yankees acquired him alongside reliever Lou Trivino in exchange for four prospects on August 1st. The results have not been as hoped.

	Even in a season that has gone sour, signs point to a bright future for the Twins. Joe Ryan, Jhoan Duran, and Jose Miranda have all cemented themselves into the team&#x2019;s plans for the foreseeable future. The Twins might not be in a position to win the division, but these rookie records are...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">13053</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 Sep 2022 16:15:04 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Could Another Starter Debut for Minnesota this Year?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/could-another-starter-debut-for-minnesota-this-year-r13043/</link><description>Last season, the Twins relied relatively heavily on Bailey Ober as a regular starting rotation arm. Then after acquiring Joe Ryan for aging-slugger Nelson Cruz, the former Rays pitcher wound up making five starts down the stretch for Rocco Baldelli&#x2019;s club.

	The Texas Rangers signed Ronny Henriquez as a 17-year-old from the Dominican Republic. He was given a $10,000 signing bonus, which can be seen as a bargain on the international market. His small stature likely drove down his value as he was 5-foot-10 and 150 pounds back in 2017.

	Currently, the Twins are ranked 20/30 teams in attendance with 22,321 fans per game.
