There was plenty of hope for Zebby Matthews, until he went down himself. Meanwhile, the lineup remains mired in mediocrity, with several positions that could stand an upgrade. Despite these needs and the Twins rema...18492Thu, 12 Jun 2025 13:07:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/can-twins-finally-leverage-their-outfield-depth-at-mlb-trade-deadline-r18445/With MLB trade rumors heating up and teams jockeying for position to align themselves as "buyers" or sellers," the Twins are in an interesting situation. In the wake of injuries to multiple members of their starting rotation, they're likely to look for pitching help, but they could also stand to...18445Thu, 12 Jun 2025 11:32:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-deal-enigmatic-reliever-jorge-alcala-to-the-red-sox-r18497/Following the Twins 6-2 win at Target Field over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night, Jorge Alcala was called into manager Rocco Baldelli's office.

The lineup looked thin, and the departure of key bats raised real concerns about run production. At the same time, the Twins appeared to have a surplus of starting pitching, both at the major-league level and in...18488Wed, 11 Jun 2025 22:04:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/are-the-umpires-against-the-minnesota-twins-ump-scorecards-suggest-so-r18493/For much of the 2025 season, the Minnesota Twins have fought through injuries, offensive slumps, and bullpen inconsistencies. But one factor flying under the radar has quietly worked against them all season long: the men in blue behind home plate.

It was well known that he was likely still a reasonable distance away from the big leagues, but it was a small move to make to ensure opposing teams didn’t snatch him away.
