A teammate on his Dominican Winter League team slipped and spiked him him in the Achilles, requiring 12 stitches. On Wednesday night’s Twins Hot Stove Show with host Kris Atteberry, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli relayed this update on Sano: “...7561Fri, 01 Mar 2019 03:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/an-award-a-decade-in-the-making-r7560/For most of the past decade, the Twins have taken their lumps in the starting rotation. Top prospects have flamed out or materialized on a slower trajectory. Free agents have largely been overpaid while underproducing, and only Ervin Santana has shown a glimpse of the Johan that came before him. I...7560Fri, 01 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ask-seth-r7559/So as I like to say when I take questions on Twitter, #Ask Away. Questions can range from the big leagues, spring training, roster or lineup, minor leagues, prospects, the Twins Prospect Handbook, or pretty much anything (within reason).

While many Twins fans are thrilled that the Twins have moved from Metrodome to Target Field, Guardado can’t help but maintain a soft spot in his heart for the Homer Dome. He recalls, “I miss the Dome....7556Tue, 26 Feb 2019 04:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mailbag-looming-strike-free-agent-issues-pitch-clock-r7555/https://twitter.com/Hey_Yo_Its_GMan/status/1099177714790137856 Baseball players certainly have some concerns with how the system is currently being run. Over the last two winters, teams have not been willing to give veteran players long-term contracts. Even the highest rated free agents have been...7555Tue, 26 Feb 2019 03:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-to-expect-from-marwin-gonzalez-r7551/You probably can’t help but notice that Gonzalez seemingly came out of nowhere, grabbed attention during the Astros’ 2017 World Series run with a career year at age 28, and then turned in a down year in 2018 on the cusp of free agency. That’s one potential reason he was available in late February...7551Mon, 25 Feb 2019 07:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/report-from-the-fort-fifth-starters-confidence-amp-punchlines-r7553/The Fifth Starter I think it’s fairly safe to say that the Twins will carry 13 position players and 12 pitchers on their Opening Day roster. That’s because they shouldn’t need a fifth starter until April 16th versus the Blue Jays. Even that might be in doubt, since that is a game at Target Field,...7553Mon, 25 Feb 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-2019-position-analysis-catcher-r7554/Projected Starter: Jason Castro Likely Backup: Mitch Garver Depth: Willians Astudillo, Tomas Telis, Brian Navarreto Prospects: Ryan Jeffers, Ben Rortvedt THE GOOD Castro's back.
