Certainly, teams will approach the possibility of trading for players on expiring contracts differently than they would in other years, since this truncated season and the expanded...9768Wed, 26 Aug 2020 13:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-most-impactful-roster-additions-will-likely-come-from-st-paul-r9771/Derek Falvey talked to media members on a Zoom call on Tuesday afternoon about a variety of topics including the upcoming trade deadline and how the prospects in St. Paul could develop and contribute as soon as needed.

With a shortened 60-game sprint, there’s not going to be any significant distance between the top and bottom teams (except, well, sorry Pittsburgh).

Of course, the injuries and upcoming return of Michael Pineda make this exercise a bit tricky, but here it goes. 1) Kenta Maeda – 36.2 IP, 1.80 E...9764Wed, 26 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-notebook-825-minnesota-twins-seek-revenge-on-not-justin-bieber-r9767/Last Night’s Game Recap MIN 3, CLE 2: Bullpen Bends, Does Not Break TODAY Minnesota Twins at Cleveland Indians, 6:10pm CDT Twins Starter: Rich Hill 1-1, 4.70 ERA, 1.30 WHIP Rich Hill is coming off of his worst start of the 2020 season last week when he allowed 4 runs, 4 hits and a walk in just 2...9767Tue, 25 Aug 2020 18:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota%E2%80%99s-present-and-future-catching-duo-r9762/Two Catcher Rotation Last season, the Twins used a two-catcher rotation with tremendous success. Mitch Garver played in 93 games on his way to winning the AL’s Silver Slugger Award for catchers. Jason Castro was a veteran secondary option and he played in 79 contests.

In an age in which most of the league is moving away from sinkers and toward four-seam fastballs, Rogers is a sinkerballer. More unusually still, he throws two distinct breaking balls, a slider and a curveball.
