I know I would. I felt great about this group coming in. Despite all the setbacks and shortcomings, and despite the disappointing finish, they...10013Mon, 26 Oct 2020 00:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-498-the-2021-payroll-episode-r10011/Click Hear To Listen10011Sun, 25 Oct 2020 15:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-should-try-to-net-a-marlin-r10008/After trading Zac Gallen and Caleb Smith to Arizona last year, you’d think the young up and coming Marlins would have taken a hit to their rotation depth. The Marlins however have spent the last few years accumulating young talent that appears to be finally emerging all at once. They’ve fielded a...10008Sun, 25 Oct 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who-could-be-the-twins39-randy-arozarena-r10003/Arozarena was brought over from the St. Louis Cardinals as a throw-in component of a January trade that saw Tampa Bay ship out two top prospects - pitcher Matthew Liberatore and catcher Edgardo Rodriguez - in exchange for pitcher Jose Martinez and immediately slotted in as the 19th best prospect i...10003Sat, 24 Oct 2020 22:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-littell-dilemma-r10010/Roster management is such a key component for a front office. There is a 26-man roster (or 28 in 2020). 40-man roster spots are precious, and in 2020, there was a 60-man player pool to keep tabs on too. On September 17th, the Twins announced that right-handed relief pitcher Zack Littell had been...10010Sat, 24 Oct 2020 17:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/most-valuable-non-prospect-pitching-trade-pieces-r10007/More often than not we tie top prospects to big name trades because of their potential and years of team control remaining. In 2020, the Twins trotted out one of the oldest pitching staffs in all of baseball although, at an average age of 30.0, only four of the 23 pitchers used were older than the...10007Sat, 24 Oct 2020 17:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/here39s-what-a-postseason-start-looks-like-in-2020-r10009/The information below is from all rounds of the 2020 postseason leading up to, but not including the World Series so far. That’s 47 games, or 94 total starts we’re looking at. As with any starting pitching stats in 2020, the fly in the ointment is the opener. Just something to keep in mind as we...10009Sat, 24 Oct 2020 03:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-free-agent-targets-catcher-and-infield-r10005/On Thursday night's episode of Offseason Live I was joined by Andrew Gebo and David Youngs.

There wasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that the A’s could get a similar player at their budget so they decided to reconcile his loss with the other two position players they lost in order to recreate him. Instead of having...10000Fri, 23 Oct 2020 02:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/designated-hitter-gets-new-wrench-for-twins-in-2021-r10002/The Star Tribune’s LaVelle E. Neal is hearing that the DH will revert back to an American League only rule in 2021. Despite the success of the change during the 2020 sprint, this is a change that would need to be collectively bargained and will likely need the 2022 CBA to institute it full time.

He hit a solid but not spectacular .272/.329/.420 in 288 games before his breakout 2019 where he exploded for 69 extra-base hits. Polanco started in the All-Star Game because of his terrific first-half production. Since the 2019 break thou...9998Thu, 22 Oct 2020 01:00:00 +0000
