Lewis Thorpe, a left-handed pitcher, made one start for the Twins this year. Back on June 30, he held the White Sox to two earned runs on five hits while striking out seven. Thorpe is coming of a 2018 season where he was named Jim Rantz Award winner as the Twins Minor League Pitcher of t...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8099</guid><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jul 2019 17:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Trade Rumor Roundup: Could Trevor Bauer Be Traded?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-trade-rumor-roundup-could-trevor-bauer-be-traded-r8104/</link><description>This offseason the Indians cut substantial payroll and discussed trading Bauer or fellow ace Cory Kluber to bolster their club in other areas. When the GM talks about &#x201C;future sustainability&#x201D; and a &#x201C;continuation of the offseason plan&#x201D; it suggests he is trying to walk a tightrope.

We know the Twins need help - definitely in the bullpen and possibly in the rotation - and the next couple of weeks are going to be full of rumors and speculation.

Years past have seen the Twins forced to make roster moves defined by monotony, and promotions have come far more often from necessity than born of merit.

Agent-turned-general manager Brodie Van Wagenen pulled off a blockbuster trade this offseason acquiring Edwin Diaz and Robinson Cano from the Seattle Mariners.

With his college experience, it made sense for Rogers to try to stick as a starting pitcher. During his professional debut (15 appearances), he split time between Elizabethton and Beloit with a 2.27 ERA, a 1.11 WHIP, and a 74 to 17 strikeout to walk ratio. In 2013, he continued to b...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">8094</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Jul 2019 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Ticket Club Offers Twins Daily Members Free "No Fees" Membership</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ticket-club-offers-twins-daily-members-free-quotno-feesquot-membership-r8054/</link><description>Twins Daily has partnered with Ticket Club, which in many ways is similar to other online ticket brokers.
