Twins Daily has enjoyed covering the right-hander for a few years now. Colina signed as an 18-year-old in late September of 2015 from Venezuela. He spent a season in the Dominican Summer League. He moved up to Elizabethton in 2017 and was n...9915Fri, 25 Sep 2020 22:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-notebook-925-hanging-on-against-the-redlegs-r9911/Today Twins vs Tigers 7:10 pm CDT Betting Line: MIN -150 O/U 8.5 Twins Starter: Jose Berrios (5-3) RHP 3.72 ERA Jose Berrios will take his final turn of the season for the Twins tonight.

On the sports front, and baseball in particular, the year has looked nothing like a traditional schedule. With Minnesota putting together arguably the most talented roster in franchise history, it’s unfortunate we didn’t get to...9907Fri, 25 Sep 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-have-twins-handled-their-best-mound-opponents-r9906/Rocco Baldelli told reporters that the Twins will start Kenta Maeda, José Berríos, and, if required, Michael Pineda in a 3-game Wild Card series.

When comparing his two seasons (which we’re going to do shortly), we can find many aspects in which he’s had some regression, but also some improvements.
