It also means I have no meaningful memory of a Twins playoff win, but whatever. I digress. The 2006 season was the first in which I really followe...11500Sun, 07 Nov 2021 04:21:21 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-the-twins-trade-for-salary-relief-r11494/Both Miguel Sano and Josh Donaldson are polarizing Twins players for differing reasons. The former is a hulking slugger that crushes mammoth blasts but goes through cold spells where it seems his bat has a literal hole in it. The latter is a talented slugger that holds down the hot corner but ca...11494Sat, 06 Nov 2021 16:54:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/oliva-and-kaat-running-out-of-chances-to-make-the-hall-r11498/Voting Process Back in the summer of 2020, the National Baseball Hall of Fame decided to postpone the Era Committee elections until the winter of 2021. Although there is still uncertainty about the pandemic, these committee votes will take place this winter.

Players are being removed from the 40-man rosters and teams will be making claims.  Cott...11497Fri, 05 Nov 2021 19:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/report-cards-bullpen-r11493/  TAYLOR ROGERS 2021: 40 1/3 IP, 3.35 ERA (128 ERA+), 2.13 FIP, 35% K, 5% BB Rogers bounced back from a rough 2020 as the Twins’ steadiest bullpen piece throughout the first half. Over his first 35 appearances, Rogers posted a 2.45 ERA and 2.02 FIP while holding opponents to a .600...11493Fri, 05 Nov 2021 18:30:46 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/seeing-reds-r11490/The day after the World Series wrapped up, news surfaced of a trade between the Cincinnati Reds and Detroit Tigers. 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 +0000
