It used to be that your best reliever was always your closer, like with Mariano Rivera or Joe Nathan. Now, as we saw with the Twins last season, the closer role could simply be whoever is...10200Thu, 31 Dec 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offseason-live-twins-jeopardy-tonight-at-530-r10199/This episode of Minnesota Twins Jeopardy is a little different and should be a lot of fun for Twins fans of any age. We will have a wide-range of categories to cover the history of the organization (players and teams and drafts and more from 1961-2020)..

The veteran right-hander went 0-2 with a 10.26 ERA over 16 2/3 innings (18 games) for the Angels. Earlier this month, the team chose to non-tender him, making him a free agent. However, if you look back to his 2019 season, he was...10197Tue, 29 Dec 2020 20:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-minnesota-twins-need-to-explore-a-javier-b%C3%A1ez-trade-r10195/After trading away Yu Darvish to the San Diego Padres, the Chicago Cubs signaled to the baseball world that they were open for business and ready to begin a rebuild, especially after team president Theo Epstein stepped down earlier this year. Players such as Kyle Hendricks, Anthony Rizzo and Kris...10195Tue, 29 Dec 2020 17:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/with-snell-and-darvish-gone-what%E2%80%99s-left-on-the-starting-pitching-market-r10194/10194Tue, 29 Dec 2020 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/projecting-minnesota%E2%80%99s-2024-line-up-r10192/Catcher: Ryan Jeffers Mitch Garver can be a free agent following the 2023 season, so it seems most likely for the Twins to turn over catching duties to Ryan Jeffers. The 2021 campaign will see Garver and Jeffers splitting time behind the plate. Jeffers is six years younger than Garver and he is a...10192Mon, 28 Dec 2020 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/wolfson-twins-have-real-interest-in-marcus-semien-r10193/It's well known that the Twins will need to fill at least one utility spot this offseason. Creative minds have wondered whether Jorge Polanco could be the answer, opening up the possibility that Minnesota signs a starting shortstop this winter. Maybe the Twins believe the same. Darren Wolfson conf...10193Sun, 27 Dec 2020 18:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/patience-the-rotation-edition-r10189/In 2016 Cleveland made it to the World Series and made several draft picks that set them up for years of future success. In the 2016 amateur draft, they plucked up Aaron Civale, Zack Plesac and 2020 Cy Young winner Shane Bieber. While not superstar prospects at the time, Cleveland put them through...10189Sun, 27 Dec 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-jorge-polanco-be-the-twins-utility-man-r10190/It’s logical to assume that Polanco would become the Twins new utilityman - replacing Marwin Gonzalez and Ehire Adrianza - should the team decide to make a move on a shortstop rather than sign someone in the ilk of Kike Hernandez, who has developed into one of the league’s premier Swiss Army knive...10190Sat, 26 Dec 2020 23:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/utility-debate-jurickson-profar-vs-kik%C3%A9-hern%C3%A1ndez-r10185/Kiké Hernández THE BAT: Hernández clearly sticks out on this market. His recent playoff heroics pushed Twins fans to focus on his fit with the hometown club. The 29-year-old has hit .240/.312/.425 (97 OPS+) since 2015 for the Dodgers. He owns a career 120 wRC+ against lefties, a matchup in which...10185Sat, 26 Dec 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/potential-twins-free-agent-targets-8-flying-under-the-radar-r10188/I fully expect the Twins to provide a couple big gifts for fans to unwrap this offseason, but here are some other free agents who could be nice stocking stuffers: Pedro Baez, Tyler Chatwood, Mike Foltynewicz, Mitch Moreland, Yusmeiro Petit, Daniel Robertson, Jonathan Villar and Alex Wood.
