I love the somewhat goofy dichotomy between the ultra serious hitter and the dude on the mound scraping his knuckles on the ground in order to be as effective as possible. Plus, it seems like th...8637Fri, 15 Nov 2019 03:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-getting-leadership-when-needing-it-most-r8634/Initially saddled with a holdover manager, Falvey and Levine weren’t going to be able to make their mark from the start. They waded in the shallow end and allowed an acclimation process of sorts to take place. Prior to the 2019 season they jumped right off the high dive straight into the deep end....8634Fri, 15 Nov 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offseason-blueprint-cheat-off-the-champs-r8631/More specifically, here are some facts for you regarding teams' starting pitchers accumulating fWAR in the regular season in 2019: The Nationals and Astros were first and fourth, respectively Five of the top 10 and seven of the top 12 were playoff teamsThe A’s finished 0.1 fWAR outside of the to...8631Fri, 15 Nov 2019 01:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/httptwinsdailycom-minnesota-twins-newsjake-odorizzi-accept-qualifying-offer-will-return-to-twins-r8636/Odorizzi's decision means he will return to the Twins for at least one year, at a cost of $17.8M. It is also possible that the Twins could work out a longer contract with Odorizzi, locking him up for more years and more guaranteed money, but at lower cost for this year. That is probably unlikely....8636Thu, 14 Nov 2019 22:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/episode-8-get-to-know-rhp-austin-schulfer-c-caleb-hamilton-rhp-nick-anderson-r8632/Not all minor leaguers are top prspects,, but once given an opportunity, you never know what will happen.

If the Twins sign him to a $17 million contract with a $13-$15 million option for...8630Thu, 14 Nov 2019 02:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offseason-blueprint-the-window-just-opened-r8625/The window is just opening and should be open for a while, I’m not adding anyone on a multi-year deal that isn’t going to help extend that window - Sorry, MadBum - but wouldn’t hesitate to add older guys on one-year deals.

He reported that the Cleveland Clinic is treating his colitis and there are no lingering effects. This could certainly alter the Gibson market and his value could rise with increased inter...8623Wed, 13 Nov 2019 03:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offseason-blueprint-hooking-a-big-fish-r8621/Every team in baseball should be salivating at the thought of adding either Gerrit Cole or Stephen Strasburg to their starting rotation. Young aces simply don’t hit the free agent market often, and when they do the costs will be substantial. Minnesota can afford either (and even both), but I’d ex...8621Wed, 13 Nov 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/quick-hitter-new-rules-for-2020-r8628/Active Roster The most notable change for 2020 is the active roster expanding from 25 to 26 through August 31st. This also means that rosters will be upped to 27 from 26 for doubleheaders. In addition, when September rolls around, for the first time since 1920, rosters will only expand to 28 inste...8628Wed, 13 Nov 2019 02:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/millennial-moxie-reviewing-rocco39s-rookie-year-as-manager-r8627/Ahead of his selection as the 14th manager in Twins history, Baldelli was described in the Tampa Bay Times as "young, bright, sharp, communicative, confident, humble, versed in analytics."
