For years, fans had been clamoring for the front office to invest in a frontline starting pitcher. Mahle, just 27 years old and un...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">18476</guid><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jun 2025 13:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Harrison Bader Probably Won't Continue to Be an Everyday Player for Minnesota Twins, and That's OK</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/harrison-bader-probably-wont-continue-to-be-an-everyday-player-for-minnesota-twins-and-thats-ok-r18478/</link><description>In each of the past three seasons, the Minnesota Twins have signed a fourth outfielder to a one-year deal. They have needed Byron Buxton insurance in center field, and having a starting-caliber center fielder on the bench has allowed for defensive flexibility late in games. It's also allowed for...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">18478</guid><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jun 2025 11:36:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Anatomy of an At-Bat: How Matt Wallner Conquered Kevin Gausman</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/anatomy-of-an-at-bat-how-matt-wallner-conquered-kevin-gausman-r18465/</link><description>At-bats don&#x2019;t exist without context. Hitters bring to the plate scouting reports, understandings from their previous entanglements with a hurler, and knowledge from plate appearances taken earlier in the day.

That's easy to see, and it has translated into results. In his MLB career, he has struck out 77 hitters in 64 &#x2153; innings with a 13% swing-and-miss rate. These are excellent numbers, especially for a young pitcher still finding his way in the big leagues.
