At times, the 24-year-old right-hander has looked like a future frontline starter, armed with swing-and-miss stuff that leaves hitters baffled. At other times, he has struggled to find efficiency, leaning too heavily on certain pit...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">19044</guid><pubDate>Sat, 30 Aug 2025 18:07:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Should the Twins Bring Back Luis Arraez?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-the-twins-bring-back-luis-arraez-r19061/</link><description>This weekend, Twins fans get their first chance to welcome back an old friend. Luis Arraez, the beloved batting champ traded before the 2023 season, will step into the batter&#x2019;s box at Target Field for the first time since the deal that sent him to Miami for Pablo L&#xF3;pez.
