Without Cruz this year, the Twins have given a number of players a parade through the position. However, these hitters are curren...12448Tue, 07 Jun 2022 23:00:18 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/one-former-twins-pitcher-that-could-bolster-minnesota%E2%80%99s-rotation-r12446/  The 2019 Minnesota Twins had many things go right for them on their way to 101-wins and a division title. Minnesota’s Bomba Squad didn’t need shutouts from their starting pitchers because the line-up was scoring runs at a record-breaking pace. Only two of the team’s regular starters had s...12446Tue, 07 Jun 2022 17:00:10 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/goats-of-the-twins-first-third-r12438/  While we now routinely use the acronym G.O.A.T. to signify greatness, this time the word is neither shortened or capitalized. Minnesota has gotten plenty from the best on their roster, but there’s been a few players that have left plenty to be desired. In terms of fWAR, here’s who Mi...12438Tue, 07 Jun 2022 16:20:05 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gary-s%C3%A1nchez-is-different-and-may-be-underperforming-r12445/We’ll focus solely on Sánchez’s bat in this article; defensive analysis can be left to Parker Hageman or some other actual baseball knower with a shred of a clue regarding mechanics.

This included two days off in a three-day span (Monday and Wednesday), and Sunday ahead of an off day. Granted, there are mitigating circumstances to account for – he played both ends...12447Mon, 06 Jun 2022 19:46:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-week-review-miranda-urshela-polanco-slump/Last Week's Game Results: Game 48 | DET 7, MIN 5: Three Homers Not Enough Game 49 | MIN 8, DET 2: Smeltzer Shows Out Again Game 50 | DET 4, MIN 0: Listless Twins Limp to Defeat Game 51 | DET 5, MIN 0: Bats Have No Answers for Skubal Game 52 | DET 3, MIN 2: Pagan Surrenders Lead in 8...12444Mon, 06 Jun 2022 17:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-can-alex-kirilloff-fit-back-in-the-twins-line-up-r12442/  During the 2021 season, Alex Kirilloff showcased some impressive hitting skills that made him one of the organization's top prospects. In 59 games, he posted a .722 OPS while combining for 20 extra-base hits. However, a wrist injury during the season sapped a lot of his power, and he made...12442Mon, 06 Jun 2022 17:00:07 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-it-time-to-move-on-from-tyler-duffey-r12443/  On Sunday, in a series against a red hot playoff contender, Tyler Duffey entered the game with a 8-3 lead, courtesy of solid pitching, some good luck, and a remarkable offensive performance by the Twins against Kevin Gausman. He left it having given up a walk, three hits, a three-run home...12443Mon, 06 Jun 2022 15:50:07 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/heroes-of-the-twins-first-third-r12437/  There’s been no shortage of situations that Rocco Baldelli and the front office have had to deal with. Between injury, both short and long term, and recent restrictions, the roster has largely remained in flux.
