He hit .293/.338/.503 (.841) with 32 home runs, 105 RBIs and 92 runs scored that season. He didn't just take a step back in 2018, he had his worst season since his rookie year.

How long until you just accept that’s who he is? That’s an excellent question. Sorry, I don’t have an answer for it.

I can’t imagine it would cost a great deal to acquire him. The big piece of value in the trade that se...7385Thu, 06 Dec 2018 04:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what39s-there-to-say-about-ehire-r7384/Among Minnesota's 10 arbitration-eligible players for 2019, only two looked like legitimate candidates to be non-tendered. One, Robbie Grossman, was sent on his way last week. The other (less likely) was Adrianza, who the Twins were quick to lock up with a one-year, $1.3 million contract. So that’...7384Wed, 05 Dec 2018 03:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rundown-twins-cold-stove-new-beat-writers-and-more-r7383/In two separate blockbuster trades, Seattle sent Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz to the Mets and Jean Segura to the Phillies. It seems like the Twins should have had some interest in all three of those players, but Cano and Segura both have no-trade authority, so it’s possible they were never an opti...7383Tue, 04 Dec 2018 19:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/where-are-we-now-r7382/As they head to the Winter Meetings, here is a quick look at where they are today.

But while Minnesota won't miss his lack of power or defensive prowess, they will absolutely miss his on-base proficiency. Among Twins players to make 500+ PA since 2016, Gros...7380Mon, 03 Dec 2018 00:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/non-tender-tracker-avisail-schoop-among-those-to-become-free-agents-r7379/*All projected arbitration salaries are from MLB Trade Rumors. The White Sox did not tender contracts to a couple of their better hitters from the 2018 season: Matt Davidson and Avisail Garcia. Davidson was projected to make $2.4 million while Garcia was tabbed for $8.0 million.

Cano gprovides a middle-of-the-order hitter at second base, and still leaves lots of room to add more offense at first base and designated hitter. Diaz is a 24-year-old lights-out closer who is under team contro...7378Fri, 30 Nov 2018 03:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/marrying-expectations-and-opportunities-in-2019-r7377/Here's what we know about the rest of the division at this point: The Kansas City Royals are bad and have a farm system that will have them getting even worse. The Detroit Tigers are old, and without direction.

He missed the entire 2017 season and the two years prior to that pitched to a 4.45 ERA in 279 innings with the Yankees. Sounds a lot like Michael Pineda, right? Fingers crossed.
