Against lefties in 2019, the Twins led baseball with an OPS of .872. Against righties, the Twins posted an OPS of .817. While still an excellent number, this was significantly worse than their numbe...8919Mon, 03 Feb 2020 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-we-be-worried-about-the-white-sox-r8918/Last week, Matt Braun showed us how good the Indians still are. Alongside Cleveland, Chicago was the only other AL Central team to win a series against Minnesota (they won two) in 2019, on their way to a 72-89 record. Have they become somewhat of a threat for the Twins and the Indians in the race...8918Sun, 02 Feb 2020 19:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/3-recent-extensions-that-could-compare-to-a-possible-jose-berrios-extension-r8916/Jose Berrios will enter 2020 with three years of team control remaining until he becomes a free agent. In his four year career he has a 4.21 ERA, 4.10 FIP, 1.26 WHIP, 23.1 K%, and 7.7 BB% in 596 2/3 IP. He is still only 25 years old and in his first year of arbitration. There are two pitchers who...8916Sun, 02 Feb 2020 15:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/finding-the-rotation39s-upside-r8911/Advances in analytics have made the notion of “third time through” pretty common knowledge in baseball. It only makes sense that the more at-bats hitters gets against a laboring pitcher in a game, the better chance they have at success. Check out the league-wide slash lines allowed by starting pi...8911Sun, 02 Feb 2020 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/report-twins-to-sign-rhp-jhoulys-chacin-to-minor-league-contract-r8915/While Chacin is signed to a non-guaranteed, minor league contract, it is very likely that he will be in the Twins Opening Day rotation. When Nick put together his list of still-available starting pitcher options recently, he ranked Chacin at #2 behind only RHP Taijuan Walker. The addition of Chaci...8915Sat, 01 Feb 2020 21:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/josh-donaldson39s-injury-history-calf-strains-sully-otherwise-clean-record-r8913/For a player that has accumulated nearly eight seasons of service time, Donaldson’s injury history is fairly clean. Donaldson — who debuted in 2010 but did not stick in the big leagues permanently until 2013 — did not suffer a significant injury until a right calf strain landed him on the 10-day d...8913Sat, 01 Feb 2020 19:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2020-twins-super-bowl-predictions-r8914/As you will see below, some predicted scores. Some predicted the MVP. Some did both. I encourage you to post your Super Bowl predictions in the comments below. Rocco Baldelli (Following seven MLB seasons (2003-10), he had a number of roles in the Rays organization including coaching.

While a minor step back is likely, he remains the best hitting catcher among these three candidates. Sánchez has big time power but has struggled to get on base (.305) since 2018. 1st: Mitch...8906Sat, 01 Feb 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/bringer-of-passion-ranking-the-top-5-josh-donaldson-altercations-r8905/In order to quantify Donaldson’s altercations, I will be awarding extremely arbitrary Bringer of Passion (B.O.P.) points to every scuffle, and ranking them based on which altercations having the highest B.O.P. score. 5.

Well, the storyline for the offseason was how many upgrades the up-and-coming White Sox made, and how they now appear to be serious threats in a rather weak AL Central. The signing of Josh Donaldson knocked those narratives down a peg but I do still feel as if there’s...8908Fri, 31 Jan 2020 03:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-464-the-brusdar-graterol-question-r8910/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Ep_464_The_Brusdar_Graterol_Question.mp3 MORE FROM TWINS DAILY — Latest Twins coverage from our writers — Recent Twins discussion in our forums — Follow Twins Daily via Twitter, Facebook, or email8910Fri, 31 Jan 2020 03:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/miguel-sano-with-sights-set-on-hall-of-fame-records-r8907/The Minnesota Twins are celebrating their 60th season and bringing back the powder blues in 2020.
