For a Twins team staring down an AL postseason gauntlet of right-leaning lineups like those of the Yankees, As...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">9785</guid><pubDate>Sat, 29 Aug 2020 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>4 Left-Handed Relievers the Twins Could Target This Week</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/4-left-handed-relievers-the-twins-could-target-this-week-r9779/</link><description>Historically, left-handed relievers go hand-in-hand with the trade deadline. Almost every contending team could use one more good lefty for tough matchups in middle relief, and yet, teams in rebuilding modes still often have such a pitcher lurking on their roster. This season, thanks to the three-...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">9779</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Twins 2020 All-Stars Could Have Been</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-2020-all-stars-could-have-been-r9775/</link><description>Cases could me made for all five of the players below to be included on the 2020 AL All-Star squad. Here&#x2019;s how I&#x2019;d rank the Twins as far as their chances to make the team after the season&#x2019;s mid-point.
5. Miguel Sano, 1B
It&#x2019;s no secret that Sano struggled getting out of the gate this season. He spe...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">9775</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Aug 2020 13:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Sports Aren&#x2019;t Our Escape Anymore</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/sports-aren%E2%80%99t-our-escape-anymore-r9783/</link><description>You know the type. He might even be you. &#x201C;I don&#x2019;t get into politics.&#x201D; &#x201C;Both sides drive me nuts.&#x201D; &#x201C;Can&#x2019;t we just watch the game?&#x201D;
I&#x2019;d prefer not to think about the state of the world right now. It&#x2019;s not great!

He failed to find the free agent deal he was hoping for and ended up signing a last minute deal with the Twins, missing much of spring training.

Entering the season, Minnesota was perceived to have one of the strongest line-ups in baseball. That hasn&#x2019;t been the case so far as the Twins have struggled through injuries to regular starters like Mitch Garver, Byron Buxton, Josh Donaldson, and Luis Arraez. This has result...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">9769</guid><pubDate>Thu, 27 Aug 2020 02:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>CLE 6, MIN 3: Cleveland Gets To Romo, Takes Series</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/cle-6-min-3-cleveland-gets-to-romo-takes-series-r9776/</link><description>Box Score

This was first brought up by fellow Twins Daily writer, Matthew Taylor, on Twitter. Schoop is hitting .286/.319/.514 (.833) with 7 homers this year.
