So I decided to run a poll over on Twitter, and it stirred up a lot of debate among Twins fans. https://twitter.com/AndrewThares/status/1126213276721983489 With that being said, let’s take a look at the case for some of the leading candid...7778Thu, 09 May 2019 16:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/martin-perez-and-a-cutter%E2%80%99s-birth-r7775/Maybe fans shouldn’t have doubted the Twins front office.

Both moves require a player stays on the 40-man roster. We’ve also learned that when a team wants to add a player to its 40-man and, likely, 25-man roster during the season, it “purcha...7773Thu, 09 May 2019 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/longest-tenured-minnesota-twins-2019-r7772/Here you have it, a look at the ten longest-tenured players in the Minnesota Twins organization but first, a few honorable mentions.
