James Outman netting the start in center essentially ended Buxton&#x2019;s year; even a stray pinch-hit appearance would have done little to aid or mitigate a tremendous year for the 31-year-old. He complete...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">19221</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Sep 2025 15:15:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>A Minnesota Twins Fan&#x2019;s MLB Playoffs Cheering Guide</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-minnesota-twins-fans-mlb-playoffs-cheering-guide-r19223/</link><description>For the second straight October, Twins fans won&#x2019;t have to rearrange their schedules around playoff baseball. Instead of stressing over late-inning bullpen decisions or a lineup change that doesn&#x2019;t make sense, Minnesotans get to sit back, relax, and decide whom they&#x2019;re going to casually cheer for...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">19223</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Sep 2025 11:55:30 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Week in Review: Starters Finish Strong</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-starters-finish-strong-r19222/</link><description>The Weekly Nutshell:

	The Twins surpassed the 90-loss mark on the season's final road trip, marking their first time reaching this milestone of failure in the Derek Falvey or Rocco Baldelli&#xA0;eras.

	On a recent episode of Hot Mic with Dom Izzo, Cory Provus speculated that Byron Buxton&#x2019;s Twins tenure could be coming to an end. Cue the record scratch. Buxton has a full no-trade clause through the 2026 season, and limited protection against trades for 2027 and 2028.

	That was Rocco Baldelli&#x2019;s rallying cry to his clubhouse in spring training. He wasn&#x2019;t talking about incremental improvement or simply competing for a division title. He was setting the bar at the top: a World Series championship, a parade down Hennepin Avenue, the...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">19215</guid><pubDate>Sun, 28 Sep 2025 11:09:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 5, Phillies 0: Phillies Shut Out at Home by Mick Abel and the Twins</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-5-phillies-0-phillies-shut-out-at-home-by-mick-abel-and-the-twins-r19216/</link><description>Box Score

This September, the Twins have stolen 34 bases. The next-highest total for a team is 25, by the Baltimore Orioles. And it&#x2019;s not like the Twins have been inefficient, either.
