I would consider Trevor Hildenberger close to a lock, so long as he does...7401Mon, 17 Dec 2018 02:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/httptwinsdailycom-minnesota-twins-newsshhh-winter-meltdown-presale-right-now-r7400/The Meltdown is Saturday, Jan 26th, from 4:30-7:30. That's the same night you'll be in town anyway, going to Twins Fest. It'll be at Brothers Bar in downtown Minneapolis, just two blocks from Twins Plaza. It includes a pint glass (you can see previous years’) and two free 612 Brew beers. Plus, you...7400Fri, 14 Dec 2018 12:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-trying-to-sustain-excellence-r7399/Miguel Sano and Byron Buxton create a duo that rivals almost any other organization's best prospects to hit the big leagues together. Both finished their prospect tenure within the top 10-15 players across all of baseball. While Sano exploded onto the scene as a rookie, it was late in 2017 that Bu...7399Fri, 14 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/official-rule-5-draft-day-thread-r7398/Morning Updates (The Rule 5 draft just started. Players selected by the Twins or from the Twins will be mentioned here): Only 14 total players were selected in the MLB portion of the Rule 5 draft. The Twins did not lose any players. In the AAA portion, the Twins selected RHP Dusten Knight from the...7398Thu, 13 Dec 2018 06:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what39s-the-plan-with-tyler-austin-r7396/Up to this point, Austin has shown some ability as a major-league hitter. Through his age 26-season, he owns a .758 OPS in 404 MLB plate appearances. This year between New York and Minnesota he slugged .480 in 268 PA; that's a higher mark than Eddie Rosario finished with, and barely below what Cro...7396Wed, 12 Dec 2018 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rundown-cruz-cahill-soria-and-ramos-r7394/Nelson Cruz? But isn't he, like, really old? This was probably what Seattle Mariners fans were asking when their team signed him four years ago. Cruz is 38 now, but he's somehow been able to avoid a decline and was still among the best power hitters in baseball last season. Cruz hit .256/.342/.50...7394Tue, 11 Dec 2018 03:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-ep-402-r7393/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_402_final.mp3?dest-id=74590 Sponsored by Casper Mattresses and Tin Whiskers Brewery.7393Mon, 10 Dec 2018 17:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/standing-pat-as-a-strategy-r7392/To their credit, the Twins have been proactive in addressing their needs this offseason. Already they have filled their two clearest positional vacancies. Granted, they've done so by gathering up castoffs non-tendered by other organizations, but C.J. Cron and Jonathan Schoop are hardly scraps.

Then, in the comments section, tell them you want to be at the Twins Daily table (or, like last year, tables). It’s usually awesome, but this year might be a once-in-a-lifetime event. Joe Mauer will be receiving a few awards and you can be sure the T...7391Sun, 09 Dec 2018 19:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/replicating-the-relief-success-in-minnesota-r7389/Back in the 2013 Major League Baseball draft the Twins selected Kohl Stewart with the 4th overall pick. After peaking at 28th in the Baseball Prospectus top 100 in 2015, his fall from grace has been both long and hard. Stewart never possessed good strikeout stuff on the farm, but from his ERA dart...7389Fri, 07 Dec 2018 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-mitch-garver-still-a-catcher-r7390/To play professional sports is to put your body at risk. This is understood. But there are varying degrees of tolerable risk, and past a certain threshold, it becomes irresponsible to put a human being in harm's way. I'm not sure where that threshold lies with respect to Garver and his specific si...7390Fri, 07 Dec 2018 02:47:00 +0000
