As anticipated, the executive sang praises for the club's post-deadline primary...19419Wed, 19 Nov 2025 14:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/envisioning-a-2026-role-for-all-7-new-additions-to-the-twins-40-man-roster-r19430/When prospects get added to the 40-man roster, it's a sign that their big-league arrival is at least somewhat imminent. Last year at this time the Twins made two additions: Travis Adams and Marco Raya. Adams went on to debut and make 18 appearances in the majors. Raya surely would have come up a...19430Wed, 19 Nov 2025 13:00:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-the-twins-can-win-by-outdeveloping-not-outspending-r19370/Like many mid-market teams, the Minnesota Twins face the perennial challenge of competing with the Yankees, Dodgers, and other big-spending franchises. Seeing how successful the other programs are, the temptation for Minnesota fans is often to chase established veterans in free agency to boost t...19370Wed, 19 Nov 2025 12:31:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-protect-six-minor-league-players-from-rule-5-draft-r19431/Heading into Tuesday, some Twins fans (at least those of us who care about prospects) were anxious to find out who the Twins would protect. The assumption was that it would be a sizable group of players, but due to limits, they would still leave several players vulnerable to the Rule 5 draft in...19431Wed, 19 Nov 2025 02:01:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-acquire-relief-pitcher-eric-orze-in-trade-with-tampa-bay-rays-r19429/In what is sure to be the blockbuster move of the winter season (just kidding… maybe?), the Twins and Tampa Bay Rays made a trade Tuesday, swapping major league-ready hurler Eric Orze for minor-leaguer Jacob Kisting. The 6-foot-4 Orze made his debut with the Mets during the 2024 season, bef...19429Wed, 19 Nov 2025 01:18:41 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/part-of-the-core-or-out-the-door-ranking-minnesota-twins-trade-candidates-6-10-r19413/Last season, when I approached this series, the Twins’ roster was in a very different place. Minnesota looked like a playoff contender for much of the 2024 season, before an epic collapse. In 2025, the fall came much earlier, and the front office dealt away multiple core pieces at the trade dead...19413Tue, 18 Nov 2025 12:33:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/are-byron-buxton-and-derek-falvey-putting-pressure-on-the-pohlads-r19422/Byron Buxton has loudly and repeatedly proclaimed himself a Twin for life. Derek Falvey has a long history of giving non-answers when asked straightforward questions. What do these two things have in common, you might be asking? One thing, and maybe a big one: both have, over the past couple of...19422Mon, 17 Nov 2025 23:14:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/a-rare-match-of-needs-could-twins-and-orioles-line-up-on-an-adley-rutschman-blockbuster-r19415/The offseason always brings surprising conversations, but few topics around the league have created more quiet buzz than the idea of Baltimore listening on Adley Rutschman. The Orioles remain well-positioned to contend, yet their roster is reaching a point where difficult decisions are unavoidab...19415Mon, 17 Nov 2025 17:35:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/it-sounds-like-kody-clemens-will-be-the-twins-starting-first-baseman-r19418/As the Minnesota Twins look to take a step forward offensively in 2026, one of the biggest question marks in their lineup is first base. Last year, after Ty France was traded at the deadline, all but one start at the position went to either Kody Clemens or Edouard Julien. Looking forward, it sur...19418Mon, 17 Nov 2025 15:09:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/meet-the-new-members-of-derek-sheltons-coaching-staff-r19417/New managers, more often than not, bring new coaching staffs with them. In this case, Pete Maki, Rudy Hernandez, Rayden Sierra, and Trevor Amicone remain in their roles, but everyone else turned over. While it’s unclear the degree to which Derek Shelton influenced the new hires on his staff, at...19417Mon, 17 Nov 2025 12:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/royce-lewis-is-at-a-crossroads-which-path-will-he-take-r19416/Royce Lewis is one of the most pivotal players of the current core. He’s also, unfortunately, one of the most difficult players to predict. This is true for his play on the field, and for his overall mindset and how he shows up to the media through his comments. He’s capable of being a team lead...19416Sun, 16 Nov 2025 16:16:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/four-minnesota-twins-players-most-likely-to-regress-in-2026-r19408/After a disappointing finish to the 2025 campaign, the Minnesota Twins enter 2026 hoping to get back into the playoff mix. Several players took significant steps forward last season, which helped keep the club semi-competitive despite a transition-heavy year. However, not everyone who excelled i...19408Sun, 16 Nov 2025 12:57:02 +0000
