It's obviously all of Minnesota, but it's parts of western Wisconsin, northern Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota and beyond. Our first guest this week grew up in West Fargo.

MLB Trade Rumors speculated that Moustakas could also be a target.
Last night, Nate Palmer made a very good argument that the Twins should pursue Moustakas over Donaldson. The Twins Daily Offseason Handbook pro...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8674</guid><pubDate>Wed, 27 Nov 2019 02:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Can Jorge Polanco's Power Survive a New Baseball?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/can-jorge-polanco39s-power-survive-a-new-baseball-r8669/</link><description>That deal locked in his salary, but his value to the team as it reaches the meat of its contention window remains unknown. The key to solving for that variable, especially if and when he moves off shortstop, is answering the question: Is his power real?

This past weekend, Darren Wolfson of KSTP linked the Twins to free agent third baseman Josh Donaldson. This confirms to some extent the front office is willing to co...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8671</guid><pubDate>Tue, 26 Nov 2019 04:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Running Down the Hall (of Fame Ballot): 2020 Edition</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/running-down-the-hall-of-fame-ballot-2020-edition-r8662/</link><description>There may be some unclogging of ballots after multiple years where some writers felt there were more than 10 worthy candidates. This season could allow writers to consider the resumes of some of the other top candidates that have been held over from previous years.

Early developments throw this premise into doubt.

Cron Conundrum</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-cj-cron-conundrum-r8666/</link><description>Cron&#x2019;s 2019 season was defined by health, and lack thereof, as his performance was directly correlated with the status of his right thumb. Prior to his July thumb injury, Cron had a nifty .821 OPS in 331 plate appearances with a wRC+ of 112 and a solid 19.3 K%. After the injury, though, Cron stru...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8666</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Nov 2019 03:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Best-Case Scenarios for New Twins 40-Man Additions</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/best-case-scenarios-for-new-twins-40-man-additions-r8667/</link><description>By nature, entering the 40-man roster puts prospects in position for a somewhat imminent arrival in the big leagues. Once added, a player can only be optioned in three different seasons before the club is essentially forced to keep him in the majors or lose him.
So the clock is now ticking for Jho...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8667</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Nov 2019 02:43:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Do Any of These Underrated Free Agents Fit in Minnesota?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/do-any-of-these-underrated-free-agents-fit-in-minnesota-r8665/</link><description>Richard Justice of MLB.com identified the following eight players as being underrated.
