Having taken over for the Washington Senators, who existed from 1901-1960, Minn...13281Fri, 18 Nov 2022 17:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-xander-bogaerts-enough-to-replace-carlos-correa-r13261/Carlos Correa accomplished his goal of securing the most lucrative average annual value among infielders in major-league history. His $35.1 million last season topped Scott Boras client Anthony Rendon’s guarantee with the Angels. Although the deal was for technically three years, the opt-outs as...13261Fri, 18 Nov 2022 17:37:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/sorry-minnesota-fans-but-the-twins-should-avoid-nelson-cruz-in-free-agency-r13275/  It’s “big bat” week at Twins Daily and what bigger bat is there in free agency this offseason than Nelson Cruz? I mean, the guy has 459 career home runs and won a Silver Slugger in his two full seasons in Minnesota. So, should the Minnesota Twins pursue Cruz? Well, Nelson Cruz does f...13275Fri, 18 Nov 2022 13:38:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/hunter-renfroe-trade-target/  The Twins are full of talent in the outfield but are a bit left-handed heavy. It’s also begun to feel like long-time Twin Max Kepler’s time is running out in Minnesota. Effectively swapping him out for a right-handed platoon option seems like a relatively small move that could pay off big...13277Thu, 17 Nov 2022 22:05:05 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/two-non-tender-bats-for-the-minnesota-twins-r13262/At this point, we don’t know whether these players will be tendered contracts, but it stands to reason that both Hunter Renfroe and Cody Bellinger could find themselves on the open market. The former played 2022 with the Milwaukee Brewers and would be searching for his fifth team in five years s...13262Thu, 17 Nov 2022 18:07:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-arbitration-decisions-pagan-paddack-urshela/  Minnesota's front office got a few of these decisions out of the way early by waiving Jake Cave (claimed by Baltimore), Danny Coulombe, and Cody Stashak. All would have been eligible for arbitration, albeit with fairly modest projected salaries.  They also took care of business alrea...13279Thu, 17 Nov 2022 16:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offseason-blueprint-an-aggressive-pursuit-of-top-talent-r13249/The Twins are in prime position to add high-level players. The rotation, while not a clear strength, is deeper than its been in Derek Falvey’s entire tenure. There is no reason to add a Dylan Bundy, Chris Archer or J.A. Happ type this offseason. It’s time to make it count on both sides of the b...13249Thu, 17 Nov 2022 05:55:04 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/carlos-correa-contract-amount-free-agent/In a recent story on his substack, Matthew Trueblood laid out an excellent example of what a creative contract entails, and I'd like to unpack that. But before we do, it's essential to understand what a baseline contract looks like for comparison purposes.

The Twins have a true tabula rasa, with around $60 million to spend to get in the ballpark of last year’s payroll total. Much of the focus has centered on shortstop, catcher, and high up...13272Wed, 16 Nov 2022 21:15:00 +0000
