Oh yeah, this team has a high variance. It could be a 65-win team as easily as it's an 80-win team.

I’ll take the over, but not confident in it. I think this is a 75 win team, assuming they sell at the deadline.

Possibly? It's the same code base, but the browser instance stands by itself. Though mobile devices are *very* good at sandboxing anyway; there isn't much risk of bad actors getting loose on the device, particularly on Apple devices, which are more restrictive than Android.

How To Install On iPhone or iPad How To Install On Android Device Developing a pure, native app for either Android or iOS is a breathtakingly expensive endeavor, which is why we haven’t done it, despite so many requests over the years. Thankfully, technology has met us halfway, and PWAs (Progressive Web Applications) have reached maturity in the marketplace. What is a PWA? It’s effectively a pseudo-app that works much like a native application but doesn’t require tens of thousands of dollars in development to produce. It creates a single browser instance and maintains it as if it were an application. It’s basically a standalone browser tab, dedicated specifically to Twins Daily. From this app instance, you can receive notifications; the typical browser interface is removed, and the site is presented clearly, using as much screen real estate as possible, all without sacrificing any functionality. The site is faster, more reliable, and offers more mobile functionality than a standard web browser. Additionally, a newer, completely updated Twins Daily is coming later this year, and that will add even more app-like features, making PWA usage even better for all our users. With that said, here’s how you turn Twins Daily into an app on your mobile device.

Hello again, Twins fans! Twice a year, we sit down and find the most popular posts and blogs on Twins Daily, and their creators receive prizes for their contributions to this community. While this offseason wasn't as action-packed as previous winters, there was still a lot to talk about. We look at the most popular posts and most popular blogs created by our amazing community contributors. Most Popular Post Congratulations to @Vanimal46, who has been part of our community since the early days of Twins Daily. The first half of the Twins' offseason was... uninspiring, to put it gently. With virtually nothing done to address the bullpen after its liquidation at last year's trade deadline, the trade for Anthony Banda was a welcome addition to the roster. Vanimal, private message me with your address so we can ship you this autographed Royce Lewis baseball! Most Popular Post Runner-Up The second most popular post of this offseason came, unsurprisingly, in the thread dedicated to the sudden departure of Derek Falvey. Humor often makes these lists, and @goliath's snarky comment about Edouard Julien and Pierson Ohl was our second-most-popular comment of the offseason. Congratulations, goliath, you win... well, nothing. Sorry about that. Most Prolific Poster We like to tip our hat to the poster who earned the most reputation points over the offseason, and this year that poster was @DJL44! Thanks for being such an integral part of the Twins Daily community DJL! Most Popular Blog Entry We have a thriving blog community here at Twins Daily, and every user can create their own blog that will be read by thousands of fellow Twins fans. @Doc Munson is one of our most popular bloggers, and they did it again this offseason with the most popular blog of the winter! Trade proposals are always popular, and Doc's Joe Ryan to the Yankees proposal intrigued users. Doc, private message me with your address so we can ship you this cool 3D rendering of Target Field! Most Popular Blog Entry Runner-Up There has been a lot of blame to go around Twins Territory the past few years. Many blame ownership, others laid blame at the feet of manager Rocco Baldelli. @Paul D counters with the primary culprit of the Twins' struggles being Derek Falvey. Do you agree? This controversial take was the second-most-popular blog entry of the winter! That's all for this winter, folks. Give a round of applause to all of those mentioned in this piece, and here's to a successful 2026 season for the Twins! View full article

I gave them a D because I actually really like the Bell and Caratini signings. The problem is that they didn't have enough money to do anything else, which is largely the fault of ownership. But also, this front office refuses to adapt to their new reality of payroll, and make trades that need to be made. So they get some blame for that.

What grade do you give the Twins this offseason?

Yep, got it fixed yesterday afternoon.

There should be a “become a caretaker” blurb, as there used to be, but a display bug is not showing it to some users. We are aware of the issue and will work to resolve it.

Yeah, it's a new bug that just appeared. I'm looking into it, but I am also in Atlanta right now. I'm not seeing the cause of the issue quickly, which means it may take a few days to resolve.
