What’s especially surprising is he uses his length more horizontally. Slegers’ vertical release poi...6262Mon, 11 Dec 2017 23:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-347-zero-to-100-real-quick-r6261/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_347_-_Zero_to_100_Real_Quick.mp3?dest-id=745906261Mon, 11 Dec 2017 12:28:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/4-stories-to-watch-at-the-winter-meetings-r6260/1) Darvish Market Heats Up In late November, Jim Bowden reported that there were six teams legitimately "in" on free agent starter Yu Darvish. It's reasonable to believe the Twins are one of those teams. Thad Levine, who has ties to the right-hander from his days in Texas, has called Darvish a pri...6260Mon, 11 Dec 2017 00:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/thank-you-moderators33-r6259/About six months after Twins Daily launched, we were close to shutting the forums and comments down. We faced the same challenges that other social media face, and we were losing the battles. We were determined to make this a place where "Don't read the comments" did NOT apply, and would rather lo...6259Sun, 10 Dec 2017 22:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/official-winter-meetings-day-0-thread-r6258/Until the last couple of days, it's fair to say that the Hot Stove has been lukewarm at best. Then Shohei Otani made his decision to sign with the Angels. And on Saturday, the Marlins and Yankees agreed to a deal in which reigning National League MVP Giancarlo Stanton will join Aaron Judge and Gar...6258Sun, 10 Dec 2017 13:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/one-year-in-rebuilt-twins-front-office-is-crushing-it-r6256/When the Twins traded Brandon Kintzler to Washington at the deadline, they added $500,000 in international slot cap space. They later recouped another $3 million by voiding their agreement with Dominican shortstop Jelfry Marte, who failed a physical due to vision issues. These developments enabled...6256Fri, 08 Dec 2017 02:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-acquire-two-prospects-for-international-bonus-money-r6255/Marte Money Jelfry Marte had been signed by the Twins to a $3 million deal this summer. However, an issue found on his physical exam meant the deal was voided. With Marte’s money back in their international pool, Minnesota had $3.245 million to try and lure Ohtani to the Midwest. Last weekend, he...6255Thu, 07 Dec 2017 03:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-mailbag-kohl-stewart-mauer-extension-dh-options-r6254/Kohl Stewart Not Added to 40-Man https://twitter.com/RodneyE77330908/status/936985378304745472 It was a little surprising not to see Kohl Stewart’s name on the team’s list of additions to the 40-man roster. Stewart, the former fourth overall pick, signed for $4.544 million when he was selected in...6254Thu, 07 Dec 2017 02:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-impending-rochester-rotation-crunch-r6253/Much can change between now and spring training, but as things stand, one would expect at least these pitchers to be tentatively slotted for the Triple-A rotation: Aaron Slegers, Felix Jorge, Dietrich Enns, Stephen Gonsalves, Zack Littell, Fernando Romero. That's six, and I can't see much of a cas...6253Wed, 06 Dec 2017 03:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/hopes-and-plans-for-trevor-may-r6251/So when might Trevor May be back? Also, what is the best role for him? Of course, there’s no way to know either of those answers, but we can at least start thinking about them. When might May return? It’s obviously difficult to know the answer to that question.

He had a 4.10 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP. He was not a Hall of Fame pitcher but he was only 24-years old. Over the next six seasons, Koufax wou...6250Tue, 05 Dec 2017 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-strike-out-on-ohtani-r6249/At one point during Sunday afternoon, MLB Insider Jon Heyman had reported that Ohtani was “telling teams he prefers a smaller market.” This sounded great to Twins fans with a smaller market in the Midwest calling Ohtani’s name. Not very long afterward, he brought Twins Territory back down to earth...6249Mon, 04 Dec 2017 03:38:00 +0000
