The players knew. Rocco Baldelli knew. The front office certainly knew. In order to build on the momentum that was percolating before the break, and plant themselves in the "buyer" (or at least "non-seller"...18794Mon, 21 Jul 2025 00:30:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-7-rockies-1-joe-ryan-stays-hot-royce-lewis-erupts-as-twins-avoid-sweep-r18792/Box Score: Starting Pitcher: Joe Ryan: 7 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 11 K (88 Pitches, 67 Strikes, 76.1%) Home Runs: Matt Wallner (11), Royce Lewis 2 (4), Harrison Bader (12) Top 3 WPA: Ryan (.307), Kody Clemens (.116), Bader (.086) Win Probability Chart (Via FanGraphs): The roller coas...18792Sun, 20 Jul 2025 21:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesotas-biggest-july-acquisitions-might-be-three-players-returning-from-injuries-r18741/The first half of the 2025 season has tested the Twins' depth, and while the team has managed to stay afloat in the standings, the reinforcements arriving after the All-Star Break might give them the boost they need to make a second-half push.
