Santana has been one of the most durable starting pitchers in baseball through his dozen big league seasons. The Twins were very interested in him one year ago, but he chose a one-year deal w...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">3250</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:03:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Torii Hunter: Filling the Attitude Gap</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/torii-hunter-filling-the-attitude-gap-r3231/</link><description>Not to mention that the particular outfielder added insult, signing with a team within the Twins division two seasons ago, to the 2007 injury of leaving the Twins as a free agent for more money elsewhere. But that is rational thinking.
Any person who has followed the Twins should know that this is...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">3231</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:20:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Select JR Graham, Lose Gilmartin</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-select-jr-graham-lose-gilmartin-r3249/</link><description>The Minnesota Twins selected JR Graham, a RHP from the Braves. A former top prospect in the pitching-strong Braves organization, he was able to throw 100 mph. However, shoulder problems the last two years greatly reduced his fastball, but he did pitch some in 2014. A good risk for a high-ceiling p...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">3249</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Dec 2014 16:59:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>$200 Million is the New $100 Million</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/036200-million-is-the-new-036100-million-r3245/</link><description>A look back: In 2001, revenue was $3.6 billion; adjusted for inflation, $4.66 billion in today's dollars, according to Forbes. That year, three MLB teams had payrolls over $100 million; the Yankees led the way with just over $112 million.

Coincidentally, it&#x2019;s also the 3rd year I&#x2019;ve truly been amazed that Seth used to do it all by himself. To the many of you that have purchased a copy in the past, I want to thank you.

There is a AAA portion of the Rule 5 draft. Each organization can put up to 39 players on their AAA roster.

Later Sherman took a step back, tweeting "Going to rephrase on Ervin Santana: Hearing #Twins pushing to get deal with Santana."

The Winter Meetings were originally set up as a meeting for all minor league teams. Then major league teams started crashing the party and since then, it has become a media Mecca.
Contrary to popular belief, it isn&#x2019;t just a place where GMs meet with agents and other GMs. Front offices of...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">3241</guid><pubDate>Tue, 09 Dec 2014 06:13:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>No Juice Podcast #33: Baseball Talk with Amelia Rayno</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/no-juice-podcast-33-baseball-talk-with-amelia-rayno-r3240/</link><description>NO JUICE PODCAST, EPISODE #33: BASEBALL TALK WITH AMELIA RAYNO
