That’s certainly a fair suggestion, but it’s far too generalized to sum everything up with that easy of a pass. This offseason, the Twins front office added one of the best free agents in...12185Fri, 22 Apr 2022 15:50:07 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-minor-league-report-421-double-walk-offs-and-shoving-smeltzer-r12192/  TRANSACTIONS RHP Jharel Cotton cleared waivers and was assigned to the St. Paul Saints LHP Lewis Thorpe was released from the organization.

The offense has been a complete disaster so far, with three or fewer runs scored in nine of their 13 games amidst a historically cold start. The lineup just got done fumbling away a huge get-right opportunity, scoring...12189Thu, 21 Apr 2022 22:20:44 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-1-royals-0-joe-ryan-nick-gordon-byron-buxton/ Top 3 WPA: Joe Ryan (.383), Emilio Pagan (.181), Joe Smith (.137)
