He split the 2019 season between Ft. Myers and Pensacola. He is touted for his fastball which has hit triple digits on multiple occasions. He is viewed as a starting pitcher. The Twins acquired him in July 2018 from the Diamondbacks in the Eduardo Escobar trade....8655Thu, 21 Nov 2019 00:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/find-the-next-gerrit-cole-twins-have-shown-the-knack-r8653/The paths of Cole and Odorizzi have actually been pretty closely intertwined. Both were first-round draft picks out of high school in 2008 – in fact, Odorizzi went just four picks after Cole. Only difference was, Odorizzi signed with the Brewers, while Cole rebuffed the Yankees and wisely opted fo...8653Wed, 20 Nov 2019 03:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/was-luis-arraez-for-real-in-2019-r8648/Playing in 92 games for the Twins in 2019, Arraez posted a .334/.399/.439 slash line. He ripped 20 doubles, notched a career best four homers, and showed plate discipline to the tune of a 29/36 K/BB.

Sign Catcher Yasmani Grandal to a four-year/$64 million deal First the Twins add a great all-around catcher who will make the team better on offense and defense while allowing Mitch Garver’s potent bat into the lineup more often.

I’m going to be identifying a number of players who represent the plain generic bottle that does just as good a job at a greatly reduced price. *cue cheesy infomercial music* Thi...8644Tue, 19 Nov 2019 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who-could-the-twins-trade-this-offseason-r8643/Outfielders While Twins Daily has had plenty of Rosario trade discussion, MLB.com even identified him as a potential trade candidate.
