Trying to find similar contracts wasn’t easy. A lot of players sign long-term deals to eat up some arbitration years and buy out a couple of years of free agency. In the last 15 years, the Twins have done that with the following players (and some that didn’...4061Thu, 20 Aug 2015 05:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-minor-league-report-819-shutouts-and-mad-max-r4060/RED WINGS REPORT Rochester 6, Buffalo 0 Box Score The Red Wings pushed over a pair of runs in three different innings to improve their season record to 66-60. Danny Santana had a 2-RBI single in the first. It likely would have gone for extra bases, but Kennys Vargas was ahead of him.

But in the seventh inning he got stuck, giving up six hits and four earned runs without recording an out. “We're trying to win games,” Ryan stated on W...4056Thu, 20 Aug 2015 01:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-explosive-bullpen-had-a-long-fuse-r4059/The Twins were forced to rely on Ryan O’Rourke and J.R. Graham in critical innings last night. O’Rourke is a rookie and lefty specialist. Graham is a Rule 5 draft pick who is primarily on the roster because if the Twins don’t keep him on the roster, they have to offer him back to the Braves. Those...4059Wed, 19 Aug 2015 04:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/are-the-twins-drowning-in-bad-contracts-r4057/As we all know, there's been plenty of lamentation surrounding Joe Mauer's contract, and the gripes carry more legitimacy now that the former MVP has gone from undeserving whipping boy to actual liability. But Mauer is at least in the lineup everyday, typically batting third and producing enough t...4057Wed, 19 Aug 2015 00:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/frustrating-start-to-huge-road-trip-r4054/Here is a quick look at how the standings look heading into Tuesday’s games: The New York Yankees lead the Blue Jays in the AL East, but many still believe that Toronto could win that division. If that is the case, the Twins are 5.5 games behind the Bronx Bombers. That’s what makes Monday night’s...4054Tue, 18 Aug 2015 05:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/st-paul-saints-a-sweep-and-a-clinch-r4053/The Saints swept both the Lincoln Saltdogs and the Winnipeg Goldeyes during their last stand in Lowertown. In the process, they dropped their “magic number” to two. Awesome starting pitching, a shutdown bullpen, and clutch hitting were the keys to victory for the home team. My MVP for the stand is...4053Tue, 18 Aug 2015 03:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/optimizing-in-august-expanding-in-september-r4051/Right now, Minnesota is still in the hunt, but it's these next few series that will determine their 2015 fate. The current major league roster is far from optimal, but it also appears capable of pulling out some victories.
