The obvious need this season is starting pitching, but this blueprint will be different. What if the Pohlad family decides to just say screw it and spend north of $200 million with the main focus being offens...8640Sun, 17 Nov 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offseason-blueprint-run-it-back-r8638/When I say bring the band back together, I mean everyone but Sam Dyson. Michael Pineda, Martín Pérez and Kyle Gibson are set to exit the rotation along with position players Jonathan Schoop and Jason Castro. The veteran ball of energy reliever Sergio Romo is also contract free. There are three pro...8638Sat, 16 Nov 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trading-for-a-young-starter-sandy-alcantara-r8629/Of course, most every team wants young, cheap, and talented pitching so obtaining such a starter is easier said than done. And while not expensive in actual dollars, a young, team-controlled starter would likely be costly in prospect capital. Fortunitely, Minnesota happens to be rich in prospects...8629Sat, 16 Nov 2019 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-new-pitches-of-trevor-may-and-tyler-duffey-r8633/There is no greater example of that phenomenon than the two-headed set-up monster that developed in the bullpen during the second half: Trevor May and Tyler Duffey. Those two benefited tremendously from tinkering with their stuff on their own, readily accepting the feedback they got from coaches a...8633Fri, 15 Nov 2019 14:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/eddie-rosario39s-actual-value-is-an-offseason-sticking-point-r8639/I like Eddie Rosario. I consider myself a big fan. He is talented and electric and entertainingly brash. His ability to crush pitches anywhere within reach is amazing. Rosie brings a unique element to the Twins lineup and clubhouse, without a doubt. But I'm not gonna let these things blind me to t...8639Fri, 15 Nov 2019 06:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/bad-sliders-what-happened-to-trevor-hildenberger-r8637/Now, this is where I must admit that I am heavily biased towards pitchers that throw sidearm/submarine. I love the somewhat goofy dichotomy between the ultra serious hitter and the dude on the mound scraping his knuckles on the ground in order to be as effective as possible. Plus, it seems like th...8637Fri, 15 Nov 2019 03:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-getting-leadership-when-needing-it-most-r8634/Initially saddled with a holdover manager, Falvey and Levine weren’t going to be able to make their mark from the start. They waded in the shallow end and allowed an acclimation process of sorts to take place. Prior to the 2019 season they jumped right off the high dive straight into the deep end....8634Fri, 15 Nov 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offseason-blueprint-cheat-off-the-champs-r8631/More specifically, here are some facts for you regarding teams' starting pitchers accumulating fWAR in the regular season in 2019: The Nationals and Astros were first and fourth, respectively Five of the top 10 and seven of the top 12 were playoff teamsThe A’s finished 0.1 fWAR outside of the to...8631Fri, 15 Nov 2019 01:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/httptwinsdailycom-minnesota-twins-newsjake-odorizzi-accept-qualifying-offer-will-return-to-twins-r8636/Odorizzi's decision means he will return to the Twins for at least one year, at a cost of $17.8M. It is also possible that the Twins could work out a longer contract with Odorizzi, locking him up for more years and more guaranteed money, but at lower cost for this year. That is probably unlikely....8636Thu, 14 Nov 2019 22:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/episode-8-get-to-know-rhp-austin-schulfer-c-caleb-hamilton-rhp-nick-anderson-r8632/Not all minor leaguers are top prspects,, but once given an opportunity, you never know what will happen. Our guests today weren't first-round picks, but they have found themselves in good positions, worked hard and found success in their young careers. Austin Schulfer and Caleb Hamilton are climb...8632Thu, 14 Nov 2019 12:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-the-twins-be-in-on-cole-hamels-r8630/With only Jose Berrios locked into the 2020 rotation, the Twins will likely be looking to add at least two starters, and Cole Hamels certainly makes sense on a similar contract to what Nelson Cruz signed last season. If the Twins sign him to a $17 million contract with a $13-$15 million option for...8630Thu, 14 Nov 2019 02:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/offseason-blueprint-the-window-just-opened-r8625/The window is just opening and should be open for a while, I’m not adding anyone on a multi-year deal that isn’t going to help extend that window - Sorry, MadBum - but wouldn’t hesitate to add older guys on one-year deals.
