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. If Canadian fans can push for the building...6162Tue, 17 Oct 2017 01:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/diving-into-the-offseason-a-buxton-extension-r6160/As we did in the Dozier article, research was done to consider comparable deals. 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? But we tried and we’ll use t...6160Mon, 16 Oct 2017 23:37:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-339-molitor-extension-amp-twins-payroll-r6161/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Episode_339_Molitor_Extension_and_Twins_Payroll.mp3?dest-id=745906161Mon, 16 Oct 2017 03:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/glen-perkins-tribute-to-a-twins-daily-hall-of-famer-r6159/Why do I say Perk is an easy choice for this hypothetical TD Hall of Fame? 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. Perkins first took over the closer role midway...6159Mon, 16 Oct 2017 00:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/supplementing-the-twins-lance-lynn-r6157/Given the landscape of the 40 man roster, the Twins have opportunity to add some real pieces to a very strong nucleus. The lineup remains young and on the rise, while the pitching staff has a couple of holdovers worth penciling in going forward. To challenge the Indians in the division, and aim fo...6157Fri, 13 Oct 2017 02:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/diving-into-the-offseason-a-dozier-extension-r6158/Yesterday, Brian Dozier was named the 2017 Twins MVP for the third straight year. He’s coming off of another big season. With the team’s success in 2017, the idea of trading Brian Dozier would not go over well with the fan base. That, however, is not the ultimate concern for the front office, thou...6158Thu, 12 Oct 2017 23:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-awards-2017-most-valuable-player-r6156/For the third straight year, the Twins Daily Twins MVP goes to their second baseman, Brian Dozier. In 2015, the Twin Cities media voted Miguel Sano team MVP while Dozier received the Twins Daily nod. In 2016, Dozier hit 42 home runs for a 103-loss team to be the easy choice for MVP. In 2017, the c...6156Thu, 12 Oct 2017 11:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/knock-knock-silence-r6155/I understand this is not terribly convenient, which brings us back to Opportunity. You may feel like it’s too early. You may not trust Sano’s health. You may not trust Rosario’s plate discipline. You may not trust Buxton’s batting average.

He was an erratic mess at Yankee Stadium in the AL Wild Card Game, instantly coughing up Minnesota's first-inning lead and exiting after two frames. But the Twins never would have reached that unexpected point without Santana...6154Wed, 11 Oct 2017 01:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/injury-cloud-surrounds-buxton39s-breakout-season-r6149/Minor League Injuries Buxton burst onto the scene in 2013, his first full minor league season but he missed some time after suffering a shoulder injury.
