He throws 96 miles per hour, and can reach 99 semi-regularly. He has six pitches, including a couple of bat-missing breaking balls. He fills up the strike zone. He even has a great, folksy baseball name—the kind of nam...19315Thu, 23 Oct 2025 11:36:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/when-paths-cross-and-split-the-twins-and-blue-jays-since-2023-r19307/When the Twins swept the Blue Jays in the 2023 Wild Card Series, it felt like a defining moment. Minnesota had finally ended its postseason drought, Carlos Correa and Pablo López were at the center of a young and hungry roster, and the team’s competitive window looked as wide open as the skies a...19307Wed, 22 Oct 2025 11:47:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-will-minnesota-twins-do-with-matt-wallner-r19306/Matt Wallner may have been the least of the Twins' issues in 2025, but the step back he took offensively didn’t help the floundering lineup. The offense needs a complete overhaul, with very few players locked into the plans moving forward. What do the decision-makers do with Matt Wallner? W...19306Tue, 21 Oct 2025 22:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/road-to-a-rebound-brooks-lee-r19303/Earlier this week, I provided an overview of the grim state of affairs for the Twins lineup. In short, nearly every hitter ended the season in a downward trend, leaving it difficult to feel a sense of optimism regarding an offense that was well below average in 2025 and gave away one of its bett...19303Tue, 21 Oct 2025 11:34:14 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/could-the-twins-and-willi-castro-reunite-this-winter-r19301/The Minnesota Twins are entering an offseason filled with financial questions and roster uncertainty. With ownership signaling a desire to reduce payroll, the front office will be tasked with finding value in creative ways. One name that could resurface in that discussion is a familiar one: Will...19301Mon, 20 Oct 2025 22:06:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/arbitrary-thoughts-ryan-jeffers-r19287/Last week, MLB Trade Rumors released their arbitration projections for the 2026 season.

Catcher, shortstop, second base, and center field are the backbone of any good defensive club, and the Twins will rely on a familiar mix of youth and experience to hold those spots next season. Each player offer...19297Mon, 20 Oct 2025 13:10:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-core-conundrum-twins-hitters-are-trending-downward-across-the-roster-r19300/The end of a season, even a very bad one, offers a chance to dream. The offseason is a stage to strengthen the roster, along with individual skills; beyond it lies spring training and a fresh slate. The trouble for Twins fans is that there isn't much to dream on heading into 2026.  Almost w...19300Mon, 20 Oct 2025 11:35:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-the-twins-are-mimicking-the-brewers-successful-strategy-r19296/The Milwaukee Brewers have long been viewed as one of baseball’s most efficient small-market organizations. They win more often than they should, find value where others don’t, and remain competitive despite limited financial resources.
