They are currently working on the pose, spending a lot of time on which uniform he'll be in. There was no timeline given for completion.

Please feel free to ask questions below and I will respond as I have time. Michael Cuddyer spent 11 of his 15 MLB season in a Twins uniform. The recently retired ballplayer had some...5321Fri, 27 Jan 2017 19:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-much-information-do-hitters-need-r5319/For almost a decade now baseball’s front offices have been harvesting analytical insight which could positively influence on-field performance. Well educated and highly trained individuals front office staffers have been slicing and compiling video, PitchF/X data, and now StatCast data in attempts...5319Fri, 27 Jan 2017 05:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-the-twins-could-lose-another-100-games-r5317/It takes a whole lot bad baseball and bad luck to lose over 100 games. Right now, it's hard to imagine the Twins repeating that feat, but nobody was predicting they'd be that bad last season, either. Here are some things that could lead to another 100-loss season for the Twins. Ervin Santana fails...5317Thu, 26 Jan 2017 13:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/now-available-2017-twins-prospect-handbook-r5280/Seth Stohs, Cody Christie and myself have spent countless hours on the ninth annual prospect handbook. We say it every year - and we'll say it again anyway - this year's is our favorite. We love it. We know you'll love it too. To meet your needs, the book is available in both paperback ($15.99) an...5280Tue, 24 Jan 2017 10:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/falvey39s-first-stand-r5314/It was quite the situation to inherit. Held up by Cleveland's run to the World Series, Falvey got a belated start with the Twins. At 33, the second-youngest top baseball executive in the league found himself almost instantly entangled in a high-stakes showdown with one of the game's most legendary...5314Tue, 24 Jan 2017 03:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/five-remaining-free-agent-fits-r5313/Jason Hammel, RHP Hammel posted a 3.68 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP over the last three seasons in Chicago and Oakland. With other Cubs’ starters ahead of him, the team could afford to let him go. The Twins need more pitching and he would slide into the rotation nicely. He might be a good candidate to sign...5313Tue, 24 Jan 2017 03:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/jorge-polanco-at-ss-could-be-disastrous-r5312/Dating back to the start of the 2016 season, only one of Polanco's three managers has seen fit to play him at shortstop. That would be Paul Molitor, who wrote the 23-year-old in at the position for 45 of 60 starts with Minnesota, including 39 straight to end the season. Prior to that, Polanco had...5312Mon, 23 Jan 2017 03:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-293-the-hitters-r5311/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_293.mp35311Mon, 23 Jan 2017 01:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-all-time-worst-twins-matt-walbeck-r5308/Walbeck was drafted into the Chicago Cubs organization in 1987 as an eighth round pick. The California native joined the professional baseball ranks straight out of high school. For his first season in the minor leagues, he was only 17-years old and he did well in the rookie leagues. Over the next...5308Fri, 20 Jan 2017 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-to-deploy-more-platoons-in-2017-r5309/Back in 2015, the Twins had a very defined bench. Both Eduardo Nunez and Shane Robinson spent nearly the entire season on the 25-man roster, yet neither started 50 games. And between them, and your ever-present backup catcher (either Chris Herrmann or Eric Fryer that season), Paul Molitor had insu...5309Fri, 20 Jan 2017 02:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/don39t-sleep-on-phil-hughes-r5303/One free agent I was very curious to follow this offseason was Tyson Ross, because of his intriguing parallels with Hughes. They are almost the same age (Ross 29, Hughes 30). In 2014, both were at the top of their games, ranking among the best starting pitchers in their respective leagues. Ross co...5303Wed, 18 Jan 2017 03:30:00 +0000
