Now Minnesota is facing an uncertain future after losing nearly 90-games. The organization needs to add pitching depth, and trading for players might be the team's best avenue for ac...11436Tue, 19 Oct 2021 13:03:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/dont-you-forget-about-ak-r11435/Eddie Rosario’s postseason heroics for the Atlanta Braves remind fans of similar electric moments he provided for years as a Twin. Rosario’s vintage game two in the ALCS, where he wreaked havoc on the base paths, made a leaping play in left and walked off Kenley Jansen, was tabbed by Twins fans...11435Tue, 19 Oct 2021 11:53:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-the-geek-ep-548-twins-payroll-decisions-r11437/11437Mon, 18 Oct 2021 16:19:04 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-offseason-key-decisions-questions/In the Offseason Handbook (reaching your inbox in ONE WEEK if you preorder now!), we cover a wide array of options to address various needs via free agency and trade.

April 6th: Byron Buxton off Jose Cisnero Distance: 451 feet, Exit Velocity: 114.1 mph,  Launch Angle: 38° On the sixth day of the Twins’ young and (at the time) hopeful season, Byron Buxton came up in the eighth with the Twins trailing the Tigers by a run.

His time missed in 2020 was frustrating albeit not as costly as it appears considering his prorated salary in the 60 game season. In 2021, he was actually one of the regulars in the lineup day in and day...11430Sat, 16 Oct 2021 14:20:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ranking-the-top-free-agent-shortstop-options-r11422/Assuming Minnesota doesn’t decide to slide second basemen Jorge Polanco, back across the diamond, they’ll need an answer at shortstop for the upcoming season.

Boy is that a tired and trite maxim for the Minnesota Twins. It remains true as the teams’ 2020 off-season pitching additions largely capitulated and underperformed. Matt Shoemaker, J.A. Happ, Alex Colome, all contributed significantly in digging the Twins into the inext...11428Fri, 15 Oct 2021 16:24:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/analyzing-outcomes-for-recent-free-agent-relievers-r11421/Every winter, relievers hit the open market with a proven track record, but relief pitching is never a sure bet. Here is how the top free agent relievers have fared over the last three off-seasons.  Last winter, the Chicago White Sox gave Liam Hendriks a three-year, $54 million contract.

It will cost the team a lot of money to be in the mix for the top-tier players. To put that in perspective, Francisco Lindor was supposed to be part...11419Wed, 13 Oct 2021 13:30:06 +0000
