Here&#x2019;s a look at three positions where Minnesota could add the most value. WAR total comparisons are from FanGraphs ZiPS projections for the 2021 season.

The Cleveland connection with President Derek Falvey, the stated interest, and the Twins need to add quality depth behind their top three starters made it seem very possible. While Kluber has...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10255</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Jan 2021 03:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why Didi Gregorius is the Best Shortstop Fit for the Twins</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-didi-gregorius-is-the-best-shortstop-fit-for-the-twins-r10252/</link><description>Gregorius, who will turn 31 next month, has always made contact at an excellent rate. Ever since he joined the Yankees in 2015, though, he&#x2019;s demonstrated the further ability to consistently lift the ball to the pull field. Since the start of 2018, in fact, 18.5 percent of Gregorius&#x2019;s batted balls...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10252</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Jan 2021 00:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Tricky Rick: A Push for Rick Porcello</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tricky-rick-a-push-for-rick-porcello-r10249/</link><description>A few days back Andrew Simon of MLB.com scribed an article diving into the wealth of talented starting pitchers still on the free agent market. While Trevor Bauer is perhaps unattainable and Corey Kluber is headed to the Yankees, Simon mentions a name that Twins fans are no stranger to.

If that were not a factor, I'd have guys like Trevor Bauer and Marcell Ozuna at the top. But all things considered, I'm not especially interested in paying Bauer $35 million annually, or committing to...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">10250</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 Jan 2021 03:45:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Who Are the Best Free Agent Starting Pitchers?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who-are-the-best-free-agent-starting-pitchers-r10248/</link><description>Trevor Bauer is in a tier on his own, but things start to get interesting after that. It doesn&#x2019;t take long before the lines are blurry enough to not feel particularly strong about one pitcher versus the next. I think that&#x2019;s exactly why things have been so slow.

Of the six regular &#x201C;high leverage guys&#x201D;, Trevor May, Matt Wisler, Sergio Romo, and Tyler Clippard have all departed (although the latter two are still free agents).

The Twins were engaged on LeMahieu two winters ago but never made him an offer, according to KSTP&#x2019;s Darren Wolfson. The Twins instead signed Jonathan Schoop while the Yankees inked LeMahieu for two years and $24 million.

Among 48 relievers with at least 200 innings pitched since 2017, Bradley ranks 10th in FIP (3.19), 17th in opponent OPS (.651) and was tied for ninth in ERA (2.95). His 18.3% strikeout-to-walk rate is tied for 21st with Sergio Romo.
