Twins

The Atlanta Braves were buyers even though they had a 51-54 record and were five games back at the trade deadline. They entered Sunday one win away from becoming World Series champions. Hopefully, the Minnesota Twins front office is paying attention.

Aaron and John break down the free agent starting pitcher market into four tiers, discuss the Twins hiring 31-year-old David Popkins as their new hitting coach, welcome Parker Hageman for a cameo about Joe Ryan, and talk about the McDonald's dollar menu for some reason. You can listen by downloading us from iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio or find it at GleemanAndTheGeek.com.

Happy Halloween Twins fans! To “celebrate” the culmination of Spooky Season, I’ve chosen to creep you all out with the scariest scenarios for the Twins’ near future. Beware!

Major League Baseball and Rawlings announced the 2021 Gold Glove Finalists, but there was one notable exclusion from the nominees. Was Max Kepler robbed of a Gold Glove nomination?

Sometimes change hurts. In the Twins case, they’ve opened the door for a whole lot of it after flopping in 2021. Headed into the winter, they’ll have to explore every path to bounce back in 2022. Some of those paths may be surprising.

When looking ahead to the roster construction for the upcoming season, most of the focus should be on pitching. A shortstop is needed, and some shuffling has to be done, but I’m eyeing an exciting way to use an open lineup spot.

Back by popular demand, this local Twins fan (internet lurker) is bringing you another edition of what your favorite current, former and future Twins are doing in the off-season. You thought that the Twins were going to disappear from your lives until next year? Think again. Contrary to popular belief, your favorite players don’t retreat into a Jake cave until spring training.

Teams try to find any possible way to gain an advantage. One pitch is taking the league by storm, and the Twins look like they are ahead of the curve.

Earlier this week, I talked about which players will enter free agency after completing the 2021 World Series. With 40-man roster spots opening for the Twins, here are four players who are certain to be added in November. Who are the Rule 5 eligible prospects that make up the group?

Earlier this week, we handed out grades for eight Twins starting pitchers. The six-month semester is over, and it’s time for Twins report cards. How did the infielders grade out?

As the Minnesota Twins enter the offseason, it's clear that they will seek to address the holes present in their pitching staff and shortstop. However, there is another position in which the team could desperately use an upgrade: First base.

But doing so may not require much change.

Minnesota's current front office has been in this position before, with the team focused on adding a front-line starter. This winter is the time to outbid other clubs to get a top-tier pitcher in a Twins uniform.
