	Coming out of the 2025 season, first base looked like one of the weaker positions on the Twins&#x2019; roster. The front office added veteran bats in Victor Caratini and Josh Bell to provide depth and offensive production, while also hoping to solidify the designated hitter role. Despite that, t...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20330</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 May 2026 11:33:25 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Week in Review: Patience Wears Thin</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-patience-wears-thin-r20334/</link><description>The Weekly Nutshell:
