In 19 games with the Miracle, Sano hit .328/.442/.453 with two home runs and two doubles. He posted a 21 to 13 strike out to walk ratio.

The backbone of the column was that Dozier has provided the Twins with an immense amount of value. That’s absolutely spot on and in buying out his arbitration years, the Twins found themselves cashing in big on Brian. For...7019Fri, 20 Jul 2018 18:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gm-for-a-deadline-part-one-r7017/The idea of supplementing last year’s playoff roster with new additions to the rotation (Jake Odorizzi and Lance Lynn), adding three proven players to the back of the bullpen (Fernando Rodney, Addison Reed and Zach Duke) and plugging the potential of 30+ home runs (Logan Morrison) to an already po...7017Thu, 19 Jul 2018 23:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/all-eyes-on-fort-myers-r7016/By wrapping up the first half with a 9-2 home stand, Minnesota undid the damage of a disastrous 1-8 road trip, but this only returned them to their lackluster watermark: six games below .500 and trailing Cleveland by more than a touchdown in the standings. While this recent run has done enough to...7016Thu, 19 Jul 2018 06:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-owe-it-to-themselves-to-look-at-existing-talent-in-second-half-r7013/I argued in my notes on a hypothetical plan for the Twins’ second half that they need to look inward at their talent pool to assess what they have and what they need going forwards. There are three prime examples of the necessity of this practice; Niko Goodrum, Randy Rosario, and Dereck Rodriguez....7013Thu, 19 Jul 2018 02:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/with-machado-gone-eduardo-escobar-becomes-the-best-shortstop-available-r7014/Fortunately for the Twins, the next best available shortstop on the trade market now appears to be Eduardo Escobar. Now, I know Escobar has spent the majority of his time this year at third base, and he is a much better defender at the hot corner, but Escobar still has the ability to play short an...7014Thu, 19 Jul 2018 00:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-roundtable-floundered-r7010/Nick Nelson Sadly it is a pretty long list, but to me the clear answer is Byron Buxton. It doesn't all fall on his shoulders – injuries, bad luck and questionable decision-making from the front office have played their parts – but however you want to apportion the blame, Buxton's season has been a...7010Wed, 18 Jul 2018 15:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/first-half-review-injuries-and-frustration-r7012/For today’s article, we are going to make the assumption that the Twins 9-2 homestand has pushed them from certain sellers to fairly inactive at the July 31 trade deadline. While it’s easy to say that the 2018 season has been disappointing, should we really be surprised? I mean, before the season...7012Wed, 18 Jul 2018 11:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-378-putting-the-first-half-to-bed-r7005/GLEEMAN AND THE GEEK: EPISODE 378 Sponsored by Bye, Goff, and Rohde, SotaStick, and SeatGeek.7005Mon, 16 Jul 2018 14:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mlb-stadium-tour-san-diego39s-petco-park-r7004/https://twitter.com/TwinsGeek/status/1018613461977198592 https://twitter.com/TwinsGeek/status/1018614164137205760 https://twitter.com/TwinsGeek/status/1018614756582625280 https://twitter.com/TwinsGeek/status/1018616024436899840 https://twitter.com/...7004Mon, 16 Jul 2018 03:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-breaking-good-r7002/Weekly Snapshot: Mon, 7/9 through Sun, 7/15 *** Record Last Week: 5-2 (Overall: 44-50) Run Differential Last Week: -2 (Overall: -23) Standing: 2nd Place in AL Central (7.5 GB) HIGHLIGHTS The offense was cooking this week, producing 48 runs in seven games.
