Miranda is having a monstrous season in the minors. He’s taken his advanced approach, one of the reasons he was selected 73rd overall as a 17-year-old in the 2016 Draft, and combined it with newly-developed patience and power.  The most encouraging aspect o...11226Sun, 22 Aug 2021 19:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-score-yankees-7-twins-1-jorge-polanco-kenta-maeda/Box Score Maeda: 4 1/3 IP, 4 H, 5 ER, 1 BB, 5K Home Runs: Polanco (22) Bottom 3 WPA: Donaldson -.148, Polanco -.127, Garcia -.100 Win Probability Chart (via Fangraphs) It was a pitcher’s duel early on in the Bronx on Saturday afternoon with team aces Gerrit Cole and Kenta Maeda e...11224Sat, 21 Aug 2021 20:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/60-day-il-kirilloff-smeltzer-dobnak/The 60-Day IL allows teams to stash an injured player away without holding a 40 man spot. The Twins have utilized this six times this season in the way of four pitchers and two hitters.

I attended the Twins game at Target Field and watched a lifeless team sink to 11-18 with a 3-1 loss against the last-place Rangers. Polanco and Max Kepler went a combined 0-for-8 with six strikeouts. I came home grumpy, and lamented that the Twins had seemingly founded the...11217Fri, 20 Aug 2021 04:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-score-yankees-7-twins-5-andrew-albers-jorge-polanco/Box Score John Gant: 3 1/3 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 4 K Home Runs: Jake Cave (2), Miguel Sanó (21) Bottom 3 WPA: John Gant -.211, Josh Donaldson -.107, Luis Arraez -.081 Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Minnesota Twins fel...11218Fri, 20 Aug 2021 02:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/luis-and-the-legends-a-twins-great-coming-r11215/Never a top prospect or one worthy of national attention, Arraez has long gone about his business quietly. He put up a .331 average across more than 300 minor league games, and the Venezuelan has continued to replicate that success at the Major League level.

There was certainly a hope that he would make his big-league debut in the season's second half, but like many parts of the Twins season, things didn't go exactly to plan.
