Cast off by both the Houston Astros and Cleveland Indians, the corner outfielder was picked up off the scrap heap, and proved invaluable to Minnesota during his tenure here. He&#x2019;s been an on-base machine, a clubh...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6208</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Nov 2017 04:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Two Veteran Free Agents The Twins Could Target</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/two-veteran-free-agents-the-twins-could-target-r6205/</link><description>John Lackey "intends to pitch in 2018," according to Jon Heyman. He's 39 and has thrown almost 3,000 innings in the major leagues. When we last saw him on the mound, it wasn't pretty; the right-hander was roughed up in three relief appearances during the NLDS. And in general, it was a trying seas...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6205</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Nov 2017 03:04:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Buxton, Dozier Win Their First Gold Glove Awards</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/buxton-dozier-win-their-first-gold-glove-awards-r6204/</link><description>While there is little surprise with the selection of Byron Buxton, despite great competition in center field, many will be surprised that Brian Dozier won.
Some of the advanced metrics indicate that while his range may be just league average, or a little lower, he makes the plays that he gets to....</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6204</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Nov 2017 02:35:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Modern Era Ballot Full Of Flaws</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/modern-era-ballot-full-of-flaws-r6203/</link><description>Candidates must receive 12 of the 16 votes in order to get elected.

AL Central Champions (102-60 Record)
Resume: The defending AL Champs had high hopes for 2017. Many considered them the favorites to repeat at the top of the league. Francona had to navigate his team through a potential World Series &#x201C;hangover.&#x201D; A slow start at the...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6202</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Nov 2017 14:18:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The 5 Best Pitching Gambles In Free Agency</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-5-best-pitching-gambles-in-free-agency-r6200/</link><description>Sure, there are the big names: Jake Arrieta, Yu Darvish, Lance Lynn. All will have very competitive markets, and will likely end up with nine-figure deals.
One can argue that the smarter way to spend in free agency is targeting high-ceiling pitchers in buy-low opportunities.

1. Sign Byron Buxton, Miguel Sano and Eddie Rosario to long-term deals with team options on the back-end.

The reality is that relief pitchers either need to be incredibly good with their breaking pitches, or they need the ability to shove into the upper 90&#x2019;s and blow the ball by hitters.

But each of these three Twins offseason myths is driven by faulty reasoning, and here's why.
MYTH #1: The Twins won't significantly increase payroll.
It's understandable that this is the default position. The Twins f...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">6197</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Nov 2017 00:21:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Seth's 2018 Minnesota Twins Offseason Blueprint</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/seth39s-2018-minnesota-twins-offseason-blueprint-r6196/</link><description>With that, let&#x2019;s get to my blueprint. Again, this is just a fun exercise to make us all think about what we might want the Twins to do. In reality, making actual moves is much more difficult than us typing out our thoughts. I mean, we can just type it.
