Houston lost 100 or more games in three consecutive seasons (2011-2013) as the team went into full rebuild mode. Minnesota lost an average of 94 games from 2011-2016, which resulted in a revamped front office. Now the A...11480Tue, 02 Nov 2021 15:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/are-the-twins-destined-for-an-andrelton-simmons-reunion-r11478/Last winter, the Twins were focused on making improvements to their infield. Adding a shortstop allowed the team to move Jorge Polanco to second base, where there could be less physical wear and tear on his body. Minnesota was interested in players like Marcus Siemen, Didi Gregorius, and Andrelt...11478Tue, 02 Nov 2021 12:44:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/five-things-the-twins-can-be-thankful-for-in-2021-r11476/As the season turned pear-shaped on the Rocco Baldelli led Twins, it became about building for the future. The hope would be a turnaround in 2022, but we have yet to see how the front office will architect the path forward. For now, these are a few key things that Minnesota fans can count as wor...11476Tue, 02 Nov 2021 11:04:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-offseason-roster-shakeup-blueprint/To be clear, the scenario we're hypothesizing here is not a commitment to a rebuild, which could involve gutting the payroll, trading stars for distant prospects, and letting the kids run.  Instead, we're trying to depict what it might look like if the organization says, "We still want to c...11475Mon, 01 Nov 2021 11:07:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/lessons-from-atlanta-if-you-have-a-shot-take-it-r11473/What’s striking about Atlanta’s July makeover is they didn’t even go big. Their front office made several key improvements to the outfield, but taking on salary meant they didn’t have to give up much to make those upgrades. It’s pretty incredible what can be done if a team’s willing to inve...11473Sun, 31 Oct 2021 21:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-the-geek-ep-550-free-agent-starting-pitcher-tier-r11472/11472Sun, 31 Oct 2021 15:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-five-spookiest-twins-scenarios-r11471/Falvine Strike Out on Starting Pitchers With José Berríos in Toronto and Kenta Maeda out for at least the first half of 2022, Bailey Ober and Joe Ryan are the only likely 2022 rotation pieces that are actually on the roster right now.

There are many strong defenders in the American League in right field, including this year’s Gold Glove finalists. New York’s Joey Gallo is...11470Sat, 30 Oct 2021 13:20:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/luis-arraez-trade-candidate-r11466/Luis Arraez is one of the most fun players on the Twins roster. Everything from his unmatched ability to get the barrel to the ball to his aggressive head shaking after taking a pitch is entertaining to watch. He wasn’t much of a top prospect, but has made the most of his opportunity after being...11466Sat, 30 Oct 2021 12:02:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-newest-roster-bonus-debuts-in-2022-r11463/After the Minnesota Twins fleeced the Tampa Bay Rays by swapping Nelson Cruz for Joe Ryan and Drew Strotman, they officially ended their two-and-a-half year run with a consistent designated hitter.
