  6. Thankfully this is happening right in the middle of the peak time to hire a new front office staff and not weeks before spring training
  7. As a Cubs fan, it would be a crime against all Minnesotans if you guys have to watch Vidal Brujan take an at-bat in 2026.
  8. For those invested in #tankwatch, a loss today would guarantee the Twins finish with the second-worst record in the AL (and a bottom-five record across all of baseball)...
  9. @Matthew Truebloodand I have teamed up to create something we're very proud of: a novel. The book is available now, exclusively on Amazon. You can read it for free via Kindle Unlimited or purchase an e-book or paperback copy. Available here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRGGPKD1 If you choose to check it out, we hope you enjoy it! Note: This thread will be moved in a few days.
  10. Over at one of our sister sites (Talk Sox), one of our contributing writers did a primer on how teams can still add playoff-eligible players to their major league rosters for the stretch run. Might not be super relevant to the Twins this year, but still a good reminder that teams still aren't technically done tinkering. The Trade Deadline Has Come and Gone, but the Red Sox Can Still Add to This Team - Red Sox - Talk Sox TALKSOX.COM Many fans think that after July 31, there's no way to bring in players outside the organization. It may be trickier to work something out, but there are plenty of ways to bring in players...
  11. Over at our sister site, Talk Sox, one of our analytical writers took a crack at crafting a three-team trade proposal involving the Twins, Phillies, and Red Sox. What do you think of the proposed deal? Lotta talent leaving MN to make this happen... Crafting a 3-Team Blockbuster With the Twins to Get Red Sox Some Pitching Help - Red Sox - Talk Sox TALKSOX.COM Can the Red Sox pull a third team in to facilitate a blockbuster deal with the Twins at the trade deadline?

  13. Over at our cousin site, Fish on First, managing editor Ely Sussman put together a list of players the Marlins might deal at the deadline. Is there anyone you want the Twins to pursue? Which players Marlins are most likely to sell at trade deadline - Marlins - Fish On First FISHONFIRST.COM Unlike last summer, the Marlins won't be tearing apart their entire roster to load up on prospects, but there are still opportunities for them to cash in on redundant players and sell...
  14. Over at our sister site, Talk Sox, one of our featured writers put together a list of trade targets for some trade deadline buyers to peruse. Any players here you want the Twins to pursue? If the Red Sox Become Sellers, Expect These Players to Be Discussed in Trade Talks - Red Sox - Talk Sox TALKSOX.COM The Red Sox are hovering around .500 and somehow still within striking distance of a postseason position. Should that change before the end of July, they have enough talent on the big...
  15. From our sister site Talk Sox, one of our writers did a nice deep dive into the differences between fWAR and bWAR for pitchers, as well the flaws (and positives) each site's formula contains. Pitching WAR Primer: The Math Behind Baseball's Least Understood Stat - Red Sox - Talk Sox TALKSOX.COM An analysis of the discrepancies between pitching WAR stats from FanGraphs and Baseball Reference.
  16. There's nothing like having Chris Paddack face off against one of the best starters in the American League to brighten your Sunday.

  22. A huge new influx of players have been added to the Twins Players Project in recent weeks. Let's review some of the more notable entries. What is the Players Project? It's a community-driven, wiki-style project that focuses on Twins players of all stripes. It's open to all Twins Daily users and we've had contributions for 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! In this update, we'll be focusing on a group of players with vastly different legacies in Minnesota. All of the players here were written up by @William Malone and edited by @Brock Beauchamp, but it's important to note the incredible contributions from the entire community. The Twins Players Project is now up to nearly 170 entries thanks to everyone's hard work! Be sure to take a peek using the link above or the button below and feel free to add your favorite player! Torii Hunter is one of the best players in modern Twins history, with a long list of accolades that includes numerous team MVP and community awards, nine Gold Gloves, and five All-Star selections. He had multiple top-15 AL MVP finishes with the Twins, including a sixth-place finish in 2002. That year was the first of three consecutive AL Central titles for Hunter and the Twins, and the outfielder led the team in RBIs in both of the latter seasons, including his first career 100 RBI season in 2003. Mike Pelfrey was a risky free agent signing in 2013 following a Tommy John surgery that knocked him out for nearly all of the previous season, and injury troubles found him again in 2014, However, that year was sandwiched between two solid seasons as an innings-eater in the Twins' rotation, including a dominant ten-game stretch in 2015 when he stepped into the rotation for a suspended Ervin Santana and authored an 8-2 record and 1.89 ERA. In the three-year stretch from 2016-18, the Twins' OPS leaders were Brian Dozier, Eddie Rosario, Miguel Sanó, and Jake Cave. Do you know who ranked fifth on that list? Robbie Grossman (.771 OPS) was a bright spot on one of the worst teams in modern franchise history in 2016, eventually becoming a middle-of-the-order staple on the rapid turnaround squad in 2017. He is the only player here that is still active. Thanks again to all who have been contributing to the project — please stop by the Players Project by hitting the button below!

  24. What is the Players Project? It's a community-driven, wiki-style project that focuses on Twins players of all stripes. It's open to all Twins Daily users and we've had contributions for 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! In this update, we'll be focusing on a triumvirate of players who dominated for the Twins in the late 2000's. All of the players here were written up by @William Malone and edited by @Brock Beauchamp, but it's important to note the incredible contributions from the entire community. The Twins Players Project is now up to 129 entries thanks to everyone's hard work! Be sure to take a peek using the link above or the button below and feel free to add your favorite player! Michael Cuddyer is among the most iconic and recognizable Twins from the first decade of the 21st century, having played 11 seasons (2001-2011) with the franchise. 2006 was the first time Cuddyer had a full time role with the Twins. He started 137 games in right field for them that season, also providing a breakout season at the plate, as his 41 doubles and 109 RBI were career highs. The outfielder is one of just four players in Twins history with 100 home runs, 200 doubles, and 30 triples (Joe Mauer, Tony Oliva, Kirby Puckett). He was inducted to the Twins Hall of Fame in 2017. Francisco Liriano had a wild 14-year career, with the first half of it coming in Minnesota. Though he's known well as the recipient of the largest free agent contract in Pittsburgh Pirates history — which, laughably, came in at just $39 million over three years — he earned Cy Young votes in 2010 as the Twins' staff ace and finished third in AL Rookie of the Year voting in 2006. He also threw a no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox in 2011 in which he threw barely half of his pitches for strikes (66 of 123). Another top-10 Rookie of the Year finisher, Jesse Crain finished eight in the voting in 2005 as a dominant reliever who served as the primary set-up man to Joe Nathan. His best season with the Twins came in 2007, when he went 12-5 with a 2.71 ERA over 75 relief appearances. Despite not making a start, his 12 wins were second on the team behind Johan Santana.
