Twins

Here’s the thing about being a sports reporter: you’re looking for some drama. So spring training is a trap.

Rocco Baldelli and the Twins face a challenge in developing a usage model for Byron Buxton that maximizes his impact while also minimizing wear and tear on a body that's been ravaged throughout his career. 

The last MVP season from a Twins player might offer a blueprint to follow.

The Twins have a lot of pretty good starters, but a true No. 1 remains the missing piece in their championship puzzle. What's the most realistic method for acquiring one?

After the Twins succumbed to injuries late in the 2022 season,, club officials have worked to improve depth over the offseason. Will it be enough?

It was October 6th, 1965, and Metropolitan Stadium had never been more raucous. After a dominating 102-win season, the Twins earned the right to face the class of the NL, the Dodgers, in the World Series. With a 4-1 lead built up against Don Drysdale, Sandy Valdespino smacked a double to right field. Life never felt better.

The Minnesota Twins will have Rocco Baldelli in the dugout for his fifth season as manager on Opening Day 2023. That represents one more season than his predecessor got, and an opportunity to cement his future with the organization.

Once the college season gets underway, it’s only a matter of time before we enter Mock Draft SZN.

The good folks over at Baseball America aren’t necessarily kicking that off yet, but they’re definitely getting the pump primed with their first Staff Draft.

Lines continue to blur between starting pitcher and reliever, with starters pitching fewer innings and relievers often asked to record more than three outs. Minnesota may ask multiple players to shift to a non-starting role in 2023.

FORT MYERS - Jose Miranda's withdrawal from Team Puerto Rico underlines that he and the team are taking his sore shoulder seriously.

For much of the past two seasons the Minnesota Twins have been tied to something they weren’t. In 2019, the club introduced the Bomba Squad and went on a terrorizing run of punishing opposing pitchers. Power production is what became synonymous with the roster, but expect something much different in 2023. This team will pitch.

MINNEAPOLIS - The role of executive chair of the Minnesota Twins changed hands this offseason with Jim Pohlad retiring from the role and his nephew, Joe Pohlad, taking over for him on November 28, 2022. Joe Pohlad moves up from his role as the team’s executive vice president in brand strategy and growth.
