In his final full season at North Carolina prior to the draft, Sabato hit .3...11816Mon, 31 Jan 2022 13:40:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/3-minnesota-twins-priorities-trade-pineda-greinke-kikuchi/#1: Complete a Trade for a Starting Pitcher I've heard rumblings that the Twins were deep into trade talks on multiple fronts before the lockout commenced. If true, hopefully this generates momentum for a deal to materialize quickly once a new CBA agreement is reached. The upper tier o...11817Mon, 31 Jan 2022 02:59:42 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-have-failed-josh-donaldson-r11812/Certainly, Josh Donaldson cannot be the one to blame for the putrid 2021 season; that existed outside of his sphere of influence. Unless he secretly siphoned off all the talent from the pitching staff while bullying Max Kepler by placing pictures of his BABIP in his locker before every game, the...11812Sat, 29 Jan 2022 12:20:11 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/cba-musings-128-what%E2%80%99s-happening-and-what%E2%80%99s-next-r11811/After meeting for less than 10 minutes before locking out the players back in December and then spending more than 40 days before issuing a proposal, it’s noteworthy that the league engaged the union on consecutive days this week. The meeting results aren’t exactly heartwarming, but there’s a bl...11811Fri, 28 Jan 2022 19:20:10 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/still-looking-up-for-larnach-r11807/Fellow first-round picks Trevor Larnach and Alex Kirilloff have been near each other on the Twins prospect lists for years and had similar ETAs to make their debuts at Target Field. It was only natural that when Kirilloff got the call, Larnach made the jump shortly thereafter. Kirilloff showed t...11807Fri, 28 Jan 2022 17:20:08 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/johan-santana-or-joe-nathan-who-is-a-bigger-hall-of-fame-snub-r11809/Voting for baseball’s Hall of Fame can be a challenging process for fans to understand. Some of baseball’s best players are being held out because of their steroid ties, while others with lesser resumes are inducted.

Maybe they were fan-favorites we had hoped for more from, or perhaps a flash in the pan never extended. At any rate, these were...11804Thu, 27 Jan 2022 18:10:09 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/kenta-maeda-on-track-for-2022-return-r11805/When Kenta Maeda had Tommy John surgery in September, it seemed likely to count him out of the team's starting rotation for the entire 2022 season. Now that might not be the case as he told Japanese reporters that he hopes to be back on the mound in September. According to the article, Maeda is...11805Thu, 27 Jan 2022 13:04:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mlb-lockout-diaries-week-eight/Reps from both sides met on Monday, and then again on Tuesday. This represents an exponential quickening of pace following a nearly two-month standstill. And yet, there's no real sense that palpable progress has been made.
