Nothing major, but definitely surprising to see so early in the offseason. It’s an innocent enough deal, but it sheds the spotlight on a Cincinnati team with plenty of st...11490Fri, 05 Nov 2021 15:42:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-the-twins-gamble-on-carlos-rod%C3%B3n-or-noah-syndergaard-r11489/Injuries are certainly part of baseball’s landscape, and pitchers seem more prone to injuries. That being said, teams can find players looking to rebuild value because of their previous injury history. In recent Twins history, Michael Pineda comes to mind as a player the team signed, knowing he...11489Fri, 05 Nov 2021 12:23:03 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-also-need-more-from-left-field-r11491/Left field was one of the Twins’ most noteworthy question marks entering the 2021 season and to say that they experienced a merry-go-round of talent in the left corner would be a bit of an understatement. Unfortunately, the performance of said talent was rather lackluster, to put it lightly. In...11491Thu, 04 Nov 2021 23:24:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/reload-not-rebuild-my-twins-2021-22-offseason-blueprint-r11488/A lot of Twins fans are angered by the front office “refusing to spend big money”. The problem doesn’t lie in not spending, as we see yet another phenomenal season by the penny-pinching Tampa Bay Rays. In 2021, the Twins gave J.A. Happ a one-year deal for $8MM. He had a 63 ERA+ and was in t...11488Thu, 04 Nov 2021 17:17:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-rockies-free-agent-for-the-twins-r11487/Drafted 3rd overall in the 2013 Major League Baseball draft, Jon Gray is a free agent for the first time in his career this offseason. He will be 30-years-old for the 2022 season and has thrown 829 innings for the Colorado Rockies. It’s been a bit of a mixed bag for Gray at the big-league level...11487Thu, 04 Nov 2021 11:40:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-spotlight-episode-38-bailey-ober-r11486/It was some surprise last November when Bailey Ober was one of three players added to the Twins 40-man roster. It wasn't surprising based on his statistics. He had dominated at High-A and Double-A in 2019 to the tune of 100 strikeouts and nine walks in 78 2/3 innings. He was 8-0 with a 0.69 ERA....11486Wed, 03 Nov 2021 18:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/predicting-the-twins-most-likely-free-agent-starting-pitcher-signing-r11481/Before we get into the name I landed on, let’s go over the main criteria I considered and go over some of the stats. I felt Michael Pineda would be too obvious of an answer to this question, so I excluded him from consideration (though I do use him as a comp later on in this article).

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 +0000
