Twins

During spring training, lots of focus is rightly or wrongly placed on questions facing the big-league roster. However, some of the team's top five prospects have questions to answer at the start of the 2023 campaign.

It seems like a disappointing 2021 for the team has spilled into feelings of disappointment toward players who don’t deserve it. Josh Donaldson is perhaps the best example of this. Even for die-hard Twins fans, it’s easy to miss how impressive Donaldson still was in 2021.

In the beginning, there was nothing. Then, there was everything.

So goes the story of the shortstop position in Minnesota over the course of the past offseason. It was a barren void until the Twins stunningly filled it with one of the biggest superstars in the game. The definition of a game-changer.

The Twins are closing in on 1,000 team home runs at Target Field. Here are the top-five home runs hitters at the park since it opened in 2010 and some of their most memorable dingers.

Last November, prior to the MLB owners locking out their players and ultimately delaying the 2022 season, the Minnesota Twins paid Byron Buxton. It was a necessary move that would always come with additional questions. Now coming off an up-and-down 2022 season, what defines his success in 2023?

The eighth road trip of the 2023 Twins season swings down the West Coast through Oakland and Seattle. It’s time to kick off the second half of the season against the A’s and Mariners! Oakland Coliseum. T-Mobile Park. Let’s begin…

Ben Franklin, a Founding Father of sabermetrics, once said, “A run saved is a run earned.” No disrespect meant to our greatest president, but a run earned is also a run earned.

After last week when we saw the Major League Baseball owners propose an updated CBA to the union, we’ve seen virtually nothing take place this week. Another seven days have gone by, and Spring Training isn’t getting any further away. Or, maybe it is...

Twins fans want to see Byron Buxton, Jorge Polanco, and Carlos Correa as much as possible. All three figure into the team's plans for the top of the order.

Injuries. They’re always part of the pre-draft process. But this year feels different. It’s been big names. It’s been a lot of names. And they seem to be happening quite frequently. 

The Twins have two stellar rookie pitchers that have made strong cases to be All Stars this summer in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium. It's still a toss up on which one will make it, so who stands the better case to be an all star this year between Joe Ryan and Jhoan Duran? 

Eighteen. If you follow the Twins, you know what that means. They hold the longest postseason losing streak in North American sports history, having lost their last 18 games. This year, the Twins are on their way to having another chance to break that streak. Who will start the first game on the mound?
