	Before his recent injury, reports serviced of the Twins and Mets having some initial discussions about a deal involving Josh Donaldson. There are obviously plenty of things to consider with the amount of money remaining on his contract. How much money do the Twins need to c...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10999</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 Jul 2021 02:34:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins to Trade Slugger, This One Hurts</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-to-trade-slugger-this-one-hurts-r10997/</link><description>Don&#x2019;t get me wrong, I remember Thome&#x2019;s time with the Twins fondly. His first season, the year Target Field opened, the slugger that tormented Minnesota for all those years put up a 1.039 OPS across 108 games. A year later he&#x2019;d record his 600th career home run, only further cementing his place in...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10997</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 Jul 2021 01:24:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>This Twins Front Office Doesn&#x2019;t Have An Inspiring Trade Deadline Track Record</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/this-twins-front-office-doesn%E2%80%99t-have-an-inspiring-trade-deadline-track-record-r10995/</link><description>I recently wrote about how I&#x2019;ve lost faith in this front office and this exercise didn&#x2019;t make me feel any better. To be fair, there&#x2019;s still a lot yet to be determined from some of these trades. The Twins have quite a few of the players acquired in these deadline deals still in their system.

	Trades within the division can be tough, but every contending team needs bullpen help down the stretch. With the Twins wanting to contend next year, it doesn&#x2019;t seem likely for the club to send Taylor Rogers or Tyler Duffey to a division rival. This makes Robles mor...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10993</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Jul 2021 02:30:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Game Recap: White Sox 6, Twins 1</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-recap-white-sox-6-twins-1-r10992/</link><description>Box Score
