Twins fans will get plenty of opportunity to watch Rosario play for the 2021 season as he remains in the AL Central. The free swinging lefty goes to a park that his pull hitting tendencies wi...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10301</guid><pubDate>Sat, 30 Jan 2021 02:45:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Tales from the Central: Chicago White Sox</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tales-from-the-central-chicago-white-sox-r10281/</link><description>We&#x2019;re more than well versed on the Minnesota Twins but what does the view of this club, and those it competes with, look like through the lens of invested influencers from around the division?

Most of us anticipated it would be the incum...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10295</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jan 2021 04:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Notebook: Alex Kirilloff Stock is Rising, Former Twins Pitcher Finds a New Home</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/notebook-alex-kirilloff-stock-is-rising-former-twins-pitcher-finds-a-new-home-r10294/</link><description>Alex Kirilloff</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10294</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jan 2021 03:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>3 Teams Luis Arraez Could've Been Traded To</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/3-teams-luis-arraez-could39ve-been-traded-to-r10296/</link><description>To our collective relief, ESPN&#x2019;s Jeff Passan announced that Arraez will move into a utility role for the club. However, you can&#x2019;t but wonder what could&#x2019;ve been if Arraez was on the trade market. What could the Twins have received in return?

Going back to 2019 he played in 103 of the Angels games, and still posted 16 OAA (outs above average), good enough for second in baseball among shortstops.

The biggest asset that Andrelton Simmons brings to the table for the Minnesota Twins is the all-world defense that he provides from the shortstop position.

While the news of Andrelton Simmons put a smile on the face of Twins&#x2019; fans, one big question still remains.
What will happen with Nelson Cruz?
To the comfort of many Twins fans, there have been two strong signs that sparked this week indicating that Cruz is...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10292</guid><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jan 2021 04:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Rotation Is Fine Without Another Big Addition</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-rotation-is-fine-without-another-big-addition-r10290/</link><description>As the rotation currently stands, it isn't all that bad. In fact, it could be pretty good. Here is how the starters are currently projected to line up via Fangraphs.
Kenta Maeda
 Jose Berrios
 Michael Pineda
 J.A. Happ
 Randy Dobnak
 
That is a rotation that should be expected to be productive, bu...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10290</guid><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jan 2021 02:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Tales from the Central: Detroit Tigers</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tales-from-the-central-detroit-tigers-r10280/</link><description>We&#x2019;re more than well versed on the Minnesota Twins but what does the view of this club, and those it competes with, look like through the lens of invested influencers from around the division?

This appears to be the makeup of the 2021 Twins starting infield following Jeff Passan&#x2019;s breaking news that Minnesota had finally filled a highly anticipated middle-infielder role on Tuesday night.
