Josh Donaldson made his spring debut today and turned an 89 mph fastball into a 110 mph home run. The 3-run blast not only cleared the center field wall, it did so against the wind. &#x201C;He's doing really well,&#x201D; commented Twins manager Rocco Baldelli after the game. &#x201C;He's in a...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10482</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Mar 2021 00:18:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why Mitch Garver is Poised for a Huge 2021</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-mitch-garver-is-poised-for-a-huge-2021-r10476/</link><description>The Bomba Squad. &#x2018;Sota Pop. The monikers came thick and fast for the 2019 Minnesota Twins record setting offense. After setting a MLB record by clobbering 307 home runs in 2019, an encore of that prolific output was expected in 2020. It didn&#x2019;t happen. The offense sputtered throughout the season....</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10476</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Mar 2021 21:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gleeman & The Geek, Ep 516: John Bonnes, Tiktok Superstar]]></title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-516-john-bonnes-tiktok-superstar-r10480/</link><description>Play Gleeman and the Geek Now</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10480</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Mar 2021 16:59:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Who's the Twins 2021 Fireman?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who39s-the-twins-2021-fireman-r10475/</link><description>The Twins have some great options that they could use in a shutdown role rather than pitting them in the ninth inning. They now have an option in Alex Colom&#xE9; for the back end of games who has closing experience and will likely be counted on fairly regularly to get the final three outs.

Baltimore Orioles
BetOnline O/U - 63.5 wins
The Orioles are brutal and play in a deeper division than the Tigers, but I&#x2019;m a bit surprised they&#x2019;re dead last. Switch-hitter Anthony Santander has a 111 OPS+ and 31 home runs over his last 130 games. Left-hander John Means owns a 3.81 ERA since 201...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10466</guid><pubDate>Sat, 06 Mar 2021 02:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What a Byron Buxton Contract Extension Would Look Like</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-a-byron-buxton-contract-extension-would-look-like-r10471/</link><description>Buxton, 27, is as tough a player to compare to any other as can be found in the modern game. He has all of the individual tools to be one of the game&#x2019;s dozen best players, but has never assembled and demonstrated them all in conjunction over a full season. Moreover, and relatedly, he&#x2019;s suffered nu...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10471</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Mar 2021 20:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Report from The Fort: Underestimating Jorge Polanco</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/report-from-the-fort-underestimating-jorge-polanco-r10470/</link><description>Every thrust is countered by a parry. For every style change, there is an answer. The Man in Black is winning this duel, and so there is no point in not admitting it.
&#x201C;You are better than I am,&#x201D; concedes Inigo Montoya.
&#x201C;Then why are you smiling,&#x201D; asks the Man in Black, quizzically.
