He pitched in 53 games for Cleveland in 2019 and went 1-0 with a 2.90 ERA in 62 innings. He has been i...8751Fri, 20 Dec 2019 17:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-12-free-agents-of-twins-mas-part-ii-%E2%80%93-outfielders-r8749/The market for outfielders has been as silent as a mouse due to the recent and rapid signings of the largest free agents on the market, such as Stephen Strasburg and Madison Bumgarner (remember when everyone thought he’d be a Twin?

He was not a top 100 prospect, and though he appeared on the fringes of all top Twins lists, his game was focused heavily around a single skill. His ability to hit for average by combining strong pitch recognition with impeccable plate d...8747Fri, 20 Dec 2019 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/get-to-know-twins-pro-scout-wesley-wright-r8746/Wesley Wright grew up in Alabama.

He is currently the “ace” of the staff and he is so close to becoming one of the games best starters, but he is just not there yet. Berrios has been extremely consistent over the last three seas...8743Thu, 19 Dec 2019 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/winter-meltdown-presale-tickets-on-sale-now33-r8739/The Meltdown is Saturday, Jan 25th, from 4:30-7:30.
