Byron Buxton was considered by many outlets to be the top prospect in the draft. So, when the Astros took Carlos Correa wi...8893Tue, 28 Jan 2020 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/michael-pineda39s-numbers-tell-two-different-stories-r8895/The Twins re-signed Michael Pineda to a two-year deal worth $20 million back in December, on the premise that he had regained his pre-Tommy John form down the stretch and proved himself as a viable mid-rotation starter. Despite the suspension that will steal a quarter of his 2020, Minnesota’s fron...8895Tue, 28 Jan 2020 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-463-winter-meltdown-2020-with-kent-hrbek-and-trevor-plouffe-r8894/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Ep_463_Winter_Meltdown_Hrbek_Plouffe.mp3?dest-id=745908894Mon, 27 Jan 2020 15:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/fernando-romero-the-forgotten-flamethrower-r8892/Fernando Romero's 2019 season was a disaster by any measure. It wasn't just his horrific 7.07 ERA in major-league 14 innings. Even more so, it was the totally uninspiring results he put forth while spending a majority of his campaign at Triple-A: 57.2 IP, 4.37 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 4.5 BB/9, 12 wild pit...8892Mon, 27 Jan 2020 02:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/projected-minnesota-twins-2020-statistical-leaders-per-zips-r8891/Earlier this week Fangraphs released their annual ZiPS projections for the Minnesota Twins for the 2020 season.

He was the fourth overall prospect in baseball in both 2012 and 2013, but he hasn’t had much luck in his career. He has a career 3.95 ERA and 4.21 FIP and he is surprisingly only 27 years ol...8888Sun, 26 Jan 2020 16:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-good-can-the-twins-defense-become-in-2020-r8890/Is Garver’s improvement sustainable? Jason Castro’s tenure with the Twins is over, but more important than his contributions on the field were his two years as Mitch Garver’s defensive mentor. While he is still not an elite defensive catcher, his improvement was as clear as crystal, more specific...8890Sun, 26 Jan 2020 15:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/under-the-radar-bullpen-breakouts-r8885/Here are three under the radar relievers that could be surprise bullpen aces in 2020. Jorge Alcala Alcala was acquired for Ryan Pressley in 2018 and was an unspectacular starter at the time. Inconsistent control and a questionable offspeed mix warranted a move to the bullpen midseason in 2019. He...8885Sun, 26 Jan 2020 03:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/on-rich-hill39s-experimental-elbow-surgery-and-previous-injury-history-r8886/While the team may have struck out on acquiring their top-tier starting pitching targets — Zach Wheeler, in particular — the acquisition of slugging third baseman and former league MVP Josh Donaldson helped freshen the bad taste left in the mouth by the beginning stages of free agency. However, on...8886Sat, 25 Jan 2020 19:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/projection-how-many-bombas-will-the-twins-hit-in-2020-r8887/Before we start tabulating home run totals, there are first a few things to know. One, this will be under the assumption that the ball will at least in some capacity will suppress home runs a little more than it did in 2019. Additionally, these projections are under the assumption that the Twins w...8887Sat, 25 Jan 2020 18:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/miguel-sano-has-the-tools-to-defend-first-base-for-the-twins-r8868/Minnesota Twins fans first learned that Miguel Sano was signing his brand new three year contract. We then heard the interviews. Where time and again Sano mentioned he had been working on first base among other aspects of baseball.

But the sheer amount of talent that will be premiering in the next year or two will certainly make the AL Central a fun division to watc...8873Sat, 25 Jan 2020 03:00:00 +0000
