Unfortunately, there’s only so much money to go around. Transitioning some younger arms into bullpen pieces could benefit the players and team alike and get them into the majors that much quicker. The Twins have s...11655Sun, 19 Dec 2021 12:40:09 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-do-the-twins-look-with-their-current-relief-core-for-2022-r11653/Bullpens have become the most overworked position in baseball in the last five years, and the Twins bullpen was a perfect example of overworked relievers in 2021. Of the 1,419 1/3 innings pitched from the Twins pitching staff in 2021, Twins relievers pitched approximately 617 2/3  innings pitche...11653Sat, 18 Dec 2021 14:00:16 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/starting-pitching-trade-partners-miami-marlins-r11654/As the lockout meanders into the holiday season, Twins fans find themselves in starting pitching limbo.

He was a stud from a strong SEC conference. Rooker was coming off a ridiculous 1.306 OPS and power that was expected to translate. However, he was immediately tabbed as a bat-only prospect, and his greatest path to t...11646Thu, 16 Dec 2021 21:40:07 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/baseball-hobby-breeds-community-r11644/Over the past 18 months, I’ve taken a look at multiple different trading card stories.

There's little choice but to overthink and obsess over the small morsels of news that trickle out amidst an ongoing labor stoppage.  For instance, while the major-league phase of the Rule 5 draft didn't h...11645Thu, 16 Dec 2021 12:30:11 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-happened-to-trevor-larnach-r11643/However, a bevy of early-season injuries suffered by Twins outfielders resulted in the erstwhile Oregon State Beaver making his big league debut on May 8. He went 0-for-4 with a hit by pitch as the Twins fell to the Detroit Tigers 7-3, but by the end of the month, Larnach was slashing .228/.389/...11643Wed, 15 Dec 2021 13:30:09 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-future-position-analysis-center-field-r11641/Current Center Fielder: Byron Buxton In the days leading into the MLB lock-out, the Twins signed Byron Buxton to a seven-year, $100 million contract extension to keep him tied to Minnesota until his mid-30s.
