The hope of the last four years has been in Buxton and Sano, but also in Berrios because obviously, pitching wins. As much as we need to continue to see big offense, to get to where they all (and we all) want to get, the...6173Tue, 24 Oct 2017 01:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/can-minnesota-follow-houston39s-blueprint-r6172/2012 MLB Draft Things went dark in Minnesota from 2011-2014 with four straight 90-loss seasons. This wasn’t quite the stretch of futility faced by Astros faithful but it certainly wasn’t easy for Twins Territory. Both teams were “rewarded” for their poor play by sitting with the first two picks of...6172Tue, 24 Oct 2017 01:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/episode-340-the-return-of-gardy-r6171/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_340The_Return_of_Gardy.mp3?dest-id=74590 If you would like to check out the Twins Daily Offseason Handbook which we talk about on this podcast, click on this:6171Mon, 23 Oct 2017 01:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/do-the-twins-need-a-proven-closer-r6170/The 2017 Twins season was, in some ways, a banner example of the closer label's fungibility. In the past, Minnesota has been guilty of vastly overrating the importance of ninth-inning experience, to its own detriment (*coughMATTCAPPScough*). But this past season, we saw Brandon Kintzler, a vetera...6170Sun, 22 Oct 2017 23:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/supplementing-the-twins-tyler-chatwood-r6166/As explained last week, it’s become a relative pipe dream for the Twins to acquire a starter in the vein of Yu Darvish or Jake Arrieta. Yes, baseball is an uncapped sport in which clubs can spend to their heart’s content. That said, TV contracts being what they are, Minnesota isn’t best positioned...6166Fri, 20 Oct 2017 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-brian-dozier-trade-that-almost-was-r6167/In our blueprint for last year's Offseason Handbook, we suggested trading Brian Dozier to the Dodgers in exchange for young right-hander Jose De Leon and additional prospects. ** You can order the 2018 Offseason Handbook now (name your price) to ensure you get it ahead of its official release at t...6167Fri, 20 Oct 2017 02:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/diving-into-the-offseason-a-sano-extension-r6165/Sano will turn 25 in May. He ended the 2017 season with 2.095 years of service. He’ll be eligible for arbitration following the 2018 season unless an extension can be worked out. Sano signed back in 2009 for $3.15 million. He’s made league minimum, or a bit above the first three seasons in the big...6165Thu, 19 Oct 2017 01:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/sizing-up-the-2017-18-offseason-r6163/** Before we get started on this overview of the coming offseason, I'll make a quick pitch for your quintessential Hot Stove guide: The 2018 Twins Daily Offseason Handbook is now available for preorder.

A strong outpouring of fans has started to clamor for a team to return. There would need to be more support for the building of a downtown park.

It can be more difficult to find guys who have signed long-term deals after just over two years of service time, and how many of them put up over four WAR in large part due to his defense?

The biggest reason is obvious enough: his play. Our site launched in 2012, and during the first several years of its existence, he was easily one of the team's brightest stars.
