Elijah Green is the best athlete in the 2022 draft class. Read up on a prospect recently described as 'a more physical Byron Buxton', and why the Twins might draft him, or stay away.
The Twins primary goal of the offseason was to bring back Carlos Correa. Having failed on step one and having missed the opportunity on many other top free agents, the answer could be to pivot to the reliever market.
Last season, there was no more polarizing figure in the Minnesota Twins bullpen than that of Emilio Pagan. The reliever was initially brought in as the expected closer, and the only thing he did was slam the door on postseason opportunity. What if it goes better in 2023?
The Twins Daily crew had the unique opportunity to go on an archives tour with Twins curator, Clyde “The Guide” Doepner. The only team curator in all of Major League Baseball, Doepner has been with the team for 56 years and has more than 17,000 items. Here are some of the highlights of the tour.
For the first time, Twins Daily is releasing a consensus big board for the MLB Draft. This combines rankings from Baseball America, ESPN, The Athletic, MLB Pipeline, and Prospects Live to form a consensus on the top 56 players in the draft.
Facing the Astros’ juggernaut pitching staff, the Twins’ offense was once again dominated, despite a late rally bringing the tying run to the plate. Dylan Bundy was solid through five, but a rough sixth inning cost Minnesota the game.

Remember when you would turn on a Minnesota Vikings game and couldn’t escape the note that Adam Thielen was “One of Us.” A Detroit Lakes native, his story from undrafted out of Minnesota State-Mankato to Pro Bowl wide receiver became boilerplate material. It shouldn’t be lost that the Twins have their own version, and Caleb Thielbar is still overlooked.
Over the years, Minnesota Twins fans have seen Byron Buxton go from a player that the organization wanted to beat out ground balls to among the best talents in the game. The only problem is that his availability has been limited along the way. What if this is where that ends?
While the St. Paul Saints we’re snowed out or postponed because of wind, you can take your pick, the rest of Minnesota’s system was in action this evening. Louie Varland shoved for the Wind Surge, and the Mighty Mussels walked it off.
The Twins got great starting pitching, some great defense, and a few timely hits, and they were able to tie the series up at one in game one of Tuesday’s doubleheader with an easy 8-2 victory.
The Twins dropped the opener of their two game series against the Brewers 6-3. Josh Winder struggled, the offense had little to offer, and three rain delays piled on the misery.
