Over the course of a full season that&#x2019;s a 110-win pace which would be the franchise record (102 in 1965) by nearly double-digits. To expect the continuation of that level of dominance over 162 games seemed like a longshot. What it did do...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8232</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 Aug 2019 02:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Series Preview: A Series That Could Hurt For Either Team</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/series-preview-a-series-that-could-hurt-for-either-team-r8231/</link><description>Brief Overview:
You know about Cleveland right? The team that looked to be dead in the water in May has risen from the ashes and has been one of the hottest teams in all of baseball since June. The offense has found its form and the starting pitching has performed well in the absence of Corey Klub...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8231</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Aug 2019 13:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Dyson Drama: The Case of the Mystery Injury</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/dyson-drama-the-case-of-the-mystery-injury-r8229/</link><description>He wasn't the sexiest pickup in everyone's eyes, but from all available evidence, Dyson was the high-caliber reinforcement this bullpen required at a minimum. He's been a mostly consistent performer at the back end of MLB bullpens for the past five years and was enjoying an excellent season as set...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8229</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Aug 2019 02:34:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>How Soon Could Top Prospect Brusdar Graterol Debut?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-soon-could-top-prospect-brusdar-graterol-debut-r8226/</link><description>Assistant General Manager Rob Antony was interviewed by Darren Wolfson earlier this week. When Wolfson asked about Graterol joining the Twins, Anthony made the team&#x2019;s position clear.
&#x201C;I would say absolutely,&#x201D; Antony said. &#x201C;That came into play when we talked about some of these guys some relievers...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8226</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Aug 2019 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Game Recap (8/7): Perez Struggles and Offense is too Late in Rubber Match</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-game-recap-87-perez-struggles-and-offense-is-too-late-in-rubber-match-r8227/</link><description>Box Score

He works with four pitches and all of them can be extremely effective when he is on. He throws a four seamer (30.2%), sinker (24.7%), curveball (30.4%), and a changeup...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8225</guid><pubDate>Wed, 07 Aug 2019 14:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Game Recap (8/6): Berrios Bad Night Leads to Braves Blowout</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-game-recap-86-berrios-bad-night-leads-to-braves-blowout-r8223/</link><description>Box Score

After you&#x2019;ve developed your own players, bringing in reinforcements requires some sort of capital.

Jonathan Schoop seemed to be a nice, short-term solution at second base.
