A few notes:

	Carlos Correa&#x2019;s current contract is a three-year deal for $105.3 million. The deal is noteworthy for a couple of reasons. First, the opt-out comes after year one, in which Correa could look for another payday on the open market with a different group of shortstop competition. The other le...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">12521</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jun 2022 15:40:07 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Truth About Catchers, Framing, and Deception</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-truth-about-catchers-framing-and-deception-r12519/</link><description>&#xA0;




	Ryan Jeffers has been lost at the plate for most of the season. As Matt Braun recently pointed out for Twins Daily, he&#x2019;s starting to find it, but one thing that has never wavered is his defense. Minnesota has placed an emphasis on receiving for some time, and to the degree that runners la...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">12519</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jun 2022 16:50:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>4 Veteran Players the Twins Can Trade</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/4-veteran-players-the-twins-can-trade-r12525/</link><description>As the calendar gets closer to July, Minnesota's roster looks like it will need more pitching depth to stay at the top of the AL Central.

	Anyone watching this team meanwhile can see a different problem: a shaky bullpen in need of backup. The Twins currently have a high win percentage but a notably high FIP, which we have already seen act as a recipe for disaster (especially against playoff contending teams).

	&#xA0;My colleague Nick Nelson recently wrote an article about Ryan Jeffers, outwardly wondering if the team mistakenly bestowed principal catching duties onto the former UNC Wilmington standout.

	The lineup is solid and an addition probably isn&#x2019;t 100% necessary. The bullpen is probably in need of two solid arms at the very least. The question is whether the Twins see it necessary to add to the rotation. With arms shuffling in and out with injury and none of their top prospects in...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">12512</guid><pubDate>Sat, 18 Jun 2022 14:37:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Luis Arraez Deserves To Be an All-Star Starter</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/luis-arraez-deserves-to-be-an-all-star-starter-r12502/</link><description>Luis Arraez has been absolutely dominant at the plate all season for the Minnesota Twins.
