In 2022, his six homers lead all of Major League Baseball. Buxton is a menace at the plate, settling in as a true MVP-caliber talent for the Twins. Although not your prototypical slugger, Buxton has put plenty of base...12207Tue, 26 Apr 2022 21:45:04 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-will-it-take-for-carlos-correa-to-stay-in-minnesota-r12215/Minnesota's front office recognized the opportunity they received when they signed Carlos Correa this spring. He's being paid the highest single-season salary for an infielder in MLB history, and he has the opportunity to opt out of his contract at season's end. Many viewed Correa's deal as a on...12215Tue, 26 Apr 2022 19:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-tigers-series-preview-r12206/Growling Expectations The Tigers, coming off five straight losing seasons, expect to compete in 2022.

Some of them bring ample big-league experience, while others bring tantalizing upside.

With both catchers being deployed, there’s the reality of a lost designated hitter should they need to swap out mid-game. Baldelli has noted that the club was wo...12205Mon, 25 Apr 2022 16:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-byron-buxton-baseballs-best-player-r12204/Fans have seen this game changing ability before from Byron Buxton. Last April, he started hot in the season's first month as he hit .427/.466/.897 (1.363) with eight doubles and eight home runs in 18 games.

He came up and punished major-league fastballs until he was fed a steady diet of breaking pitches. At that point not even his hot start could keep Larnach from taking a trip back to St. Paul where his season eve...12190Sat, 23 Apr 2022 15:19:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-white-sox-series-opener-analysis/1: Baldelli showed confidence in Duffey, and it paid off.
