Players capable of handling multiple positions give manager Derek Shelton (or former manager Rocco Baldelli) more options when building his lineup, mixing and matching based on opposing pitc...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20671</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Jul 2026 11:50:16 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>BREAKING: First Looks and Insights on Twins' Field of Dreams Game Jerseys</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/breaking-first-looks-and-insights-on-twins-field-of-dreams-game-jerseys-r20718/</link><description>Minnesota&#x2019;s professional sports teams are having a renaissance when it comes to throwback uniforms. In 2023, the Vikings finally brought back the home uniforms that were based on their original 1960s/1970s home uniform.&#xA0;That same fall, the Timberwolves brought back the original home uniforms fro...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20718</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Jul 2026 02:13:21 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Week in Review: Opportunity Is Knocking</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-opportunity-is-knocking-r20711/</link><description>The Weekly Nutshell:

	Winning their first two games against Cleveland brought the Twins within a game of .500 ... and then, of course, they lost two straight to ensure they wouldn't get back to that elusive break-even point before the All-Star break. They haven't had a non-losing record since A...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20711</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Jul 2026 01:47:57 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 4, Angels 2: Taj Bradley Deals, Ryan Jeffers Delivers Big Hit to End First Half on High Note</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-4-angels-2-taj-bradley-deals-ryan-jeffers-delivers-big-hit-to-end-first-half-on-high-note-r20706/</link><description>Box Score:

	As a unit, Minnesota&#x2019;s relievers have simply not been good enough. They&#x2019;re tied with the Royals for the highest bullpen ERA in baseball at 5.24, while their 1.54 WHIP ranks second-to-last in the league.

	A recent Atlantic article found that just 16% of Americans read for pleasure. The other 84%? Apparently they're reading because life, work, or the IRS forced them to.

When the Twins acquired Gray from the Red Sox this winter, the expectations weren't particularly high. He wasn't viewed as a player who was going to dramatically change the roster or suddenly become an everyday contributor.

Since then, Bradley has become one of the Twins&#x2019; better arms, while Jax has made the transition from reliever to starter.

It signals surrender, rebuilding, and punting on the current season.
