And although the...8720Sat, 14 Dec 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-need-to-make-a-splash-with-the-rain-man-sign-josh-donaldson-r8728/The Twins absolutely need another starting pitcher, and they have been very active in seeking help for the rotation. The problem, however, is that the cost and demand are at unforeseen levels. Strasburg and Cole combined for 16 years and $569 million, and even Tanner Roark, Kyle Gibson and Michael...8728Sat, 14 Dec 2019 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-offseason-trade-target-kyle-seager-r8729/Seattle’s Kyle Seager could be an option teams turn to if they lose our on the likes of free-agent Josh Donaldson or trading for another player like Kris Bryant. Seager will be entering his tenth big league season at age 32 and he has been remarkably healthy throughout the course of his career. La...8729Fri, 13 Dec 2019 20:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-12-free-agents-of-twins-mas-part-i-%E2%80%93-infielders-r8727/With the hottest of hot gloves, Gerrit Cole and Anthony Rendon, off the market, there are still hundreds of eligible free agents, eagerly awaiting the name on the front of their next jerseys. While the Twins have their work cut out for them in bolstering their rotation (looking at you, Ryu), there...8727Fri, 13 Dec 2019 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-front-office-playing-with-patience-this-winter-r8725/No, that’s not coming from the front office. I think that Derek Falvey and Thad Levine could take a quick look on the Twitter machine and realize pitchforks and brimstone flow heavily through Twins Territory. Doom and gloom is the mood with some big arms being off the board, and the fear of being...8725Thu, 12 Dec 2019 22:03:36 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/let39s-talk-about-willians-astudillo-r8724/It seems like we all have an affinity for baseball players who are more rotund than the trim beefcakes we come to expect from the sport. There’s certainly something to be said about an athlete who looks like someone you would see at a Golden Corral who also somehow is playing a sport at the highes...8724Fri, 13 Dec 2019 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-offseason-trade-target-david-price-r8722/David Price is entering the fifth year of his seven-year, $217 million deal. In each of the next three seasons, he is guaranteed to make $32 million and he will be in his age-36 season at the end of the deal. The left-handed hurler has pitched over 2000 career innings, but he hasn’t had over 200 i...8722Thu, 12 Dec 2019 14:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/official-twins-winter-meetings-day-4-thread-r8723/Rendon Fallout The Angels paid dearly for Anthony Rendon, agreeing to a seven-year, $245M contract. Does that mean they are less likely to chase a starting pitcher that the Twins have their eyes on? Or more likely? It also means that third baseman Josh Donaldson is not the top free agent position...8723Thu, 12 Dec 2019 13:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-should-be-dealing-with-the-marlins-r8719/The Miami Marlins are certainly one of the more interesting teams in baseball this winter. They are coming off a 105 loss season, but they have been rumored around some big free agents and appear open to making trades. Good for them. The newest rumor is that Miami wants a lefty outfielder, so if y...8719Thu, 12 Dec 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-pineda-plug-3-upside-plays-the-twins-could-target-r8721/In general, Minnesota isn't the most attractive destination for free agent players who have their pick out of numerous suitors. But for one specific profile, the Twins are a particularly appealing choice. That profile? Formerly successful veteran pitchers with talent who are, for whatever reason (...8721Thu, 12 Dec 2019 02:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/randy-dobnak-is-better-than-you-think-r8718/Dobnak isn’t just a good story and a quirky look; he’s a legitimate starter. After all, 2019 was just his second full season as a professional, and he scaled four levels to reach the big leagues. He pitched 163 innings, and at all four stops he was above-average according to both of Baseball Prosp...8718Wed, 11 Dec 2019 16:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/official-twins-winter-meetings-day-3-thread-r8717/A little after 11:00 central time, news broke that Gerrit Cole had agreed to a nine-year, $324 million contract. Yes, that is not a typo. Nine years. At $36 million per season... For a total of $324 million. Not a bad payday. Now the Twins were never really involved in Cole talks. Sure, they have...8717Wed, 11 Dec 2019 05:06:00 +0000
