I didn't have a problem with selling, but selling to the overwhelming extent the front office did felt, to me, overboard and ill advised. A commitment to losing beyond 2025. Minnesota offloaded quite a bit of talent with...20096Thu, 09 Apr 2026 11:46:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-8-tigers-6-early-onslaught-strong-bailey-ober-outing-earn-twins-first-series-win-r20100/Box Score Starting Pitcher: Bailey Ober - 5.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K (99 pitches, 64 strikes (64.6% strikes)) Home Runs: None Top 3 WPA: Byron Buxton (0.11), Luke Keaschall (0.08), Bailey Ober (0.08) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) Coming Out Swinging   The Twin...20100Thu, 09 Apr 2026 02:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/byron-buxton-deserves-better-than-his-early-results-r20094/A couple of weeks isn’t enough time for the standings to mean much, but it is enough time for early narratives to start forming. When it comes to Byron Buxton, the early numbers describe a hitter who is searching for answers. Through his first stretch of games, the production simply hasn’t...20094Wed, 08 Apr 2026 23:07:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/dodging-the-curveball-of-commitment-r20087/Over the past few weeks, the conversation around the Minnesota Twins has drifted toward the future and who might be locked into it. Names like Walker Jenkins continue to surface, despite the fact that he has yet to make his big-league debut. Other teams around the league are locking up players o...20087Wed, 08 Apr 2026 16:02:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/bailey-ober-trusts-his-changeup-a-lot-right-now-everything-else-is-a-battle-r20093/You never see a pitcher for whom things are going well practicing their stance on the rubber or the way they break their hands in front of their locker in the clubhouse. There's plenty of space in the Twins' home clubhouse at Target Field, but not so much that anyone would be tempted to move mea...20093Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:00:06 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/with-the-taj-bradley-deal-twins-might-have-fleeced-the-rays-again-r20091/It's not often that a team can say it got the better of the Tampa Bay Rays in a trade. Around baseball, that front office has built a reputation for being a step ahead; squeezing value out of every move; and rarely, if ever, coming out on the losing end of a deal. Yet, the Minnesota Twins may ha...20091Wed, 08 Apr 2026 12:05:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/anatomy-of-an-at-bat-ryan-jeffers-finally-conquers-tarik-skubal-r20089/There are certain matchups in baseball that begin to feel inevitable. A pitcher seems to have a hitter’s number, the results stack up, and eventually every new plate appearance feels like a rerun. For Ryan Jeffers, that reality had long existed against Tarik Skubal. Entering Tuesday night,...20089Wed, 08 Apr 2026 10:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-4-tigers-2-taj-bradley-bests-cy-young-skubal-to-down-detroit-r20090/Box Score SP: Taj Bradley 6.1 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 10 K (104 pitches, 68 strikes (65%)) Home Runs: N/A Top 3 WPA: Bradley (0.28), Ryan Jeffers (0.17), Justin Topa (0.10) Win Probability Chart (via BaseballSavant)  The Twins looked to build more Central Division momentum agains...20090Wed, 08 Apr 2026 02:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-defense-trending-toward-worst-in-recent-team-history-and-worst-in-baseball-r20083/Defense has always been one of baseball’s most difficult elements to quantify, but that reality has changed dramatically in recent years.

Through three starts—roughly 10% of a typical starter’s workload—Joe Ryan has shown a little bit of everything. At times, he’s looked like the ace we know he can be. At others, he’s struggled to find the same rhythm tha...20086Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-longer-byron-buxton-stays-the-harder-it-gets-to-imagine-him-leaving-r20081/There are moments in a franchise’s history that feel bigger than the box score. On Sunday, the Minnesota Twins took time to recognize one of those moments as Byron Buxton reached 10 years of Major League service time. It's the kind of milestone that speaks less about a single season and more abo...20081Tue, 07 Apr 2026 11:50:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-7-tigers-3-keaschalls-first-homer-sparks-twins-to-much-needed-win-r20085/Box Score SP: Joe Ryan 5 IP, 3 H, 3 R (2 ER), 7 K, 3 BB HR: Luke Keaschall (1) Top 3 WPA: Keaschall 0.27, Lawyerson 0.17, Caratini 0.16 Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs): The Minnesota Twins finally gave the home crowd at Target Field something to warm up about.
