One of the most important steps in having a sustained playoff run is avoiding playing in a coin flip game like each league&#x2019;s wild-card game. Minnesota fans are well aware of the dangers of this game after seeing the Twins fall to the Yankees back in 2017. New York went on...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8358</guid><pubDate>Thu, 05 Sep 2019 02:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Constructing a Way-Too-Early Twins Playoff Bullpen</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/constructing-a-way-too-early-twins-playoff-bullpen-r8357/</link><description>On the morning of Sept. 3, 2019 the Minnesota Twins have a 99.7% chance to make the playoffs and 94.5% chance of winning the division. Of course the division race is not mathematically over, but with just under a month to go and a 6.5 game lead, you have to feel good about where the Twins are.

It&#x2019;s fun and cute when a guy never strikes out or takes walks, but there&#x2019;s a right and wrong way to go about that. Having command of the strike zone is much different (and more beneficial) tha...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8354</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Sep 2019 02:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Promote Trevor Hildenberger, Ryne Harper and Fernando Romero To Roster</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-promote-trevor-hildenberger-ryne-harper-and-fernando-romero-to-roster-r8353/</link><description>Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN &#x2013; The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have recalled right-handed pitchers Ryne Harper, Trevor Hildenberger and Fernando Romero from Triple-A Rochester.

The Red Sox are nearing the point of the season in which a Hail Mary becomes the necessary tactic. They are well out of the AL East race and trail the second wild card spot by five games. After winning a World Series in 2018, Boston gambled on a bad bullpen and some questionable-at...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8352</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Sep 2019 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Will the Twins Submit To Jake Odorizzi A Qualifying Offer?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/will-the-twins-submit-to-jake-odorizzi-a-qualifying-offer-r8349/</link><description>Qualifying Offer Process
As part of MLB&#x2019;s Collective Bargaining Agreement, teams can make a one-year &#x201C;qualifying offer&#x201D; to a player that has never previously received a qualifying offer and only if that player has been on the team&#x2019;s roster for the entire season.
