I really like this piece from one of our writers on Talk Sox. Major League Baseball Takes Arms in Donald Trump’s Culture War - Red Sox - Talk Sox TALKSOX.COM In an act of anticipatory obedience, Major League Baseball quietly deleted all references to diversity from its website.

It's Pags!

I probably go with Julien? Then Gasper. I'd like to see Keirsey get a shot, and I'm sure he will when an outfielder goes down, but I don't think I'd start Opening Day with him.

Free game of the day just means the game is free to watch. Thankfully, MLB pulled its head out of its monumental ass and began making all spring training games free to watch. That's why you're seeing that message littered around the MLB app in March. On Opening Day, that will revert to one game(ish) a day.

What exactly is "present day value" in baseball contracts? Here's a breakdown, straight from an accountant. Sifting Through the Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Contract Noise - Blue Jays - Jays Centre JAYSCENTRE.COM The baseball media is mischaracterizing the actual value of contracts with deferred money. Let's get it straight.

By the way, if anyone ever has a good idea for a poll question, please @ me any time. Coming up with good questions can be tough, especially over multiple sites. I'm going to have multiple blind spots just because I'm distracted so much of the time.

An interesting piece from one of our writers on Talk Sox. The Tokyo Series played its first game, kicking off the 2025 MLB season. Let's look at how a shared love of baseball has brought together Japan and the United States. Baseball's Effect on Japan-United States Relations - Red Sox - Talk Sox TALKSOX.COM With the Japan Series beginning tomorrow, a look at how baseball has shaped and deepened the ties between Japan and the US.

This is a new feature we're rolling out this year to allow fans to give their opinions on the Twins. The page is still being developed but the basics are there. We will add and remove questions as situations change with the team. And you can vote on the same question once per day so your vote is not locked in for an entire season. Check it out and vote so we can start testing the back-end and make sure everything is functional! https://twinsdaily.com/polls/

The Players Project is approaching 150 players and now includes two of the best all-time Minnesota Twins. The Players Project is approaching 150 players and now includes two of the best all-time Minnesota Twins. What is the Players Project? It's a community-driven, wiki-style project focusing on Twins players of all stripes. It's open to all Twins Daily users, and we've made contributions to current players, past players, and players who never even made the major leagues but played in the Twins farm system. Create your favorite player today! The Players Project continues to grow, and this week, it's due to the help of @Cody Christie and @William Malone, creating pages for some of the most memorable Twins of all time. First, we have perhaps the greatest Minnesota Twin of all time, Harmon Killebrew. The man who hit 40 home runs in a season eight times in his career and concluded his playing days with the fifth-most home runs in baseball history. A true icon of Minnesota sports and one of the greatest power hitters in baseball history. Next up is the most dominant pitcher in Twins history, Johan Santana. Winner of two American League Cy Young (let's not get into how he was robbed of a third), Santana was the best pitcher of his generation for a half decade and, if not for injury, would be an easy Cooperstown inductee. Lastly, we have another Johan Santana. Did you know that Ervin Santana's given name is actually Johan Santana, and he changed his name to avoid confusion with the guy you just read about above? Anyway, Ervin-not-Johan Santana was a critical piece of the playoff-bound 2017 Twins, posting what was probably the best year of his very good career. Read all about him by hitting the link below. The Minnesota Twins Players Project is open to all Twins Daily users. We're still missing some of the most iconic players to wear a Twins uniform: Kirby Puckett, Kent Hrbek, and many more. They still need pages, so create one today! View full article

This is such a fantastic read! And ridiculous! https://blogs.fangraphs.com/plop-it-thirty-poems-about-the-new-era-overlap-hats/

Oh yeahhhhhhh

It took me a good two minutes to even remember this player existed on the Twins.

I don't even know how to grade Twins starting prospects anymore. Morris is interesting in the same mold as Ryan, Ober, Matthews, etc. This front office is very good at getting the most out of right-handed arms, time will tell whether the trend continues with Morris. He's not a flame thrower but like SWR, seems to just know how to get hitters out (though SWR's track record was far more volatile). It's hard not to be excited about the Twins rotation for the foreseeable future.

For me, it was the woven necklace that gave it away. I only remember Crain and Nathan wearing them. It's Jesse Crain.

I don't know if any of you have been following what's going on with the Red Sox but you can't help but laugh about it. Stomach Bug Besieges the Fort: Red Sox Bedeviled by Bum Tum - Just For Fun - Talk Sox TALKSOX.COM Internal turmoil has stricken the Red Sox, which is to say that a whole lot of players have a stomach bug.
