A great place to hang out and talk about the game. Or movies. Or food. Sorta like sitting in the bleachers at a ballgame with a few dozen of your besties and shooting the... ah... stuff.

The $14-million, two-year price tag was fair, though it was surprising&#x2014;and it was difficult to see how he fit the roster and timeline. The way he&#x2019;s been utilized so far, the acquisitio...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20063</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Apr 2026 11:30:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Acquire RHP Garrett Acton from the Marlins</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-acquire-rhp-garrett-acton-from-the-marlins-r20066/</link><description>Shortly after the Twins left Kansas City following a 5-1 win over the Royals on Thursday afternoon, the team announced that they have acquired right-handed pitcher Garrett Acton from the Miami Marlins in exchange for minor league righty Logan Whitaker.&#xA0;

	In the Twins' fourth game of the 2026 season, Matt Wallner connected for his first home run. It was just his second hit of the year, as he's striking out around 30% of the time and hitting into some tough luck. He's struggled with some adjustments to the ABS challenge system, though he's...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20048</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 11:32:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Twins' Struggles Against Southpaws Aren't a Mirage</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-struggles-against-southpaws-arent-a-mirage-r20043/</link><description>The Twins&#x2019; endless pursuit of left-handed corner outfielders has been well covered. The many poor-fitting pieces of the lineup have, as well. They're seeing the results of their lopsided roster construction to begin the season, and turning the corner feels unlikely.
