As it happens, their reported commitment of $30 million ranks as the third-largest for a...13381Tue, 13 Dec 2022 21:25:42 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/starting-pitching-depth-positions-twins-with-extra-money-r13362/After last offseason, it was hard not to be shocked by the sheer amount of money that was thrown around to free agents. Now with still over 100 players to be signed this winter, it’s clear we are going to blow by those values again. On the pitching front, it benefits the Minnesota Twins to have...13362Tue, 13 Dec 2022 17:22:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/3-reasons-why-dansby-swanson-is-not-carlos-correa-r13372/If the Twins miss out on Carlos Correa, they can pivot to the other top free agent still on the market. However, Dansby Swanson lacks some traits the Twins have already seen in Correa.     Carlos Correa has clearly been the team's focus throughout the offseason. However, as the tea...13372Tue, 13 Dec 2022 14:15:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/christian-vazquez-and-pitch-framing-r13378/The Minnesota Twins signed former Houston Astros catcher Christian Vazquez to a three-year, $30 million deal Monday evening to serve as one of the team's primary backstops.

While Ryan Jeffers did return to the lineup prior to the final game of the 2022 season, he wound up spending most of it injured and ineffective. Now he’s got a partner to share some of the load. Minne...13377Mon, 12 Dec 2022 23:30:52 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-may-benefit-from-a-change-in-spending-strategy-r13373/When the Minnesota Twins transitioned from Terry Ryan to Derek Falvey in the front office, it was an ushering in of change. Falvey came from the Cleveland Guardians and a more new-school way of doing things. We have now seen enough with the Twins to understand a repetitive process, and it again...13373Mon, 12 Dec 2022 23:23:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-latest-on-max-kepler-and-the-minnesota-twins-r13376/The Minnesota Twins have remained largely quiet thus far through the offseason, but things are starting to heat up and there could be some relatively significant shuffling of the Major League roster.

Minnesota came up with $100 million to make sure that Byron Buxton would essentially play out his career in the same uniform. That was a steal then, and even more so after free agency developments this past week....13361Mon, 12 Dec 2022 17:24:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/4-observations-from-the-twins-2023-zips-projections-r13366/Projection systems can have pros and cons when providing a glimpse into the team's future.
