Twins

At this point of the Minnesota Twins offseason, it could be argued that Max Kepler being traded is more a matter of “when” than “if.” As Derek Falvey and Thad Levine put together the 2023 roster, they’ll need to figure out the glut of players in their outfield. What exactly is the German’s trade value though?

Now having made his Major League debut and looking to get back in 2023, the expectations for the former top pick have never been higher. If we’ve seen anything to this point, it’s that counting him out isn’t a great idea.

The Twins front office has been averse to committing to free agent starting pitchers. Why? Clues can be found in the development of Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober.

The Twins looked limp and lifeless on Tuesday night, falling 4-0 to Detroit in the second game of their double-header. Cole Sands struggled, and the offense no-showed.

I know what you're thinking, "Wait a second. I thought you promised only one pitcher in your ten profiles?"

And that is exactly the truth. But since we're suckers for the draft, we expanded the coverage and push those profiles over 10.

As a result, you're getting another pitcher.

With all of their fiddle players apparently on the injured list, the Twins and the TD forums both went in a deep funk, deep in the heart of Texas.

There’s no denying that things have gone wrong for the Minnesota Twins each of the past two seasons. From being a near-90 loss team in 2021, to falling flat halfway through the year a season ago, it’s time the tide turns. There’s plenty of offseason left for the roster to change, but there’s renewed hope with Opening Day 2023.

The 13th road trip of the 2023 Twins season takes us through Chicago and Cincinnati. It’s time to take charge of the stretch run against the White Sox and Reds! Guaranteed Rate Field. Great American Ball Park. Let’s begin…

Minnesota bounced back nicely after getting swept by the Dodgers at home earlier this week. Despite losing Byron Buxton to an injury in the very first inning, the Twins went on to beat the Red Sox at Fenway Park, behind a magnificent start by rookie Joe Ryan.

Every single season, at least one player surprises in a positive way. A path is forming for the biggest breakout Twin in 2022.

It was a fantastic afternoon for pitchers at Target Field, with both teams holding each other to one run each until the bottom of the ninth. But José Miranda came through against one of baseball’s best closers to walk off the Brewers and even the series.

By now you’ve seen the San Francisco Giants back out of a mega-deal with former Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa. The New York Mets then took advantage of an opportunity to sign him, but have come up with red flags as well. Did the Twins miss something when they signed the shortstop last spring?
