All of this was sparked by the decision by Kevin Cash to remove his starter, Blake Snell, in the 6th inning of game 6 of the World Series. Given tha...10031Sun, 01 Nov 2020 15:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-low-can-we-go-r10029/Robbie Ray Based on 2020 alone, Ray may be about the lowest any team could buy on. Ray has always struggled with walks (4.28 BB/9 in his career) and entered 2020 with a new delivery to try and curb his strike throwing issues. Well his 7.84 BB/9 as well as 6.62 ERA and 6.50 FIP in 2020 may suggest...10029Sun, 01 Nov 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-lab-this-free-agent-reliever-could-benefit-from-wes-johnson-and-co-r10026/Joakim Soria was a dominant closer for the Royals during the first five years of his career.

Ideally, I would like to see them add two this offseason and push Dobnak to the #6 spot, looking in. More on that in my 2021 “Offseason Blueprint” that I hope to write next week.
