Twins

In 2015, Miguel Sanó arrived to great fanfare – the top prospect and heralded young slugging star who would help carry the Twins franchise into a new era.

In 2022, he exited to no fanfare, with Minnesota procedurally declining his 2023 option and paying millions to move on, as onlookers barely paid notice. 

Sanó's fall from mighty heights will go down as a sad, but significant, note in franchise history.

It’s big bat week at Twins Daily, and there’s undoubtedly no bigger bat than Joey Gallo when it comes to power potential. He had a poor 2022 season, but at just 29 years old, does a deal with the Minnesota Twins make sense?

A bulk of the Minnesota Twins payroll could go to filling needs other than a right-handed bat. If that is the case, Tommy Pham could be a more affordable option with some upside. 

With the deadline at 5:00 central time, the Minnesota Twins have made four additions to their 40-man roster. To the surprise of no one, the Twins added infielder Edouard Julien, right-handed pitchers Matt Canterino and Casey Legumina, and left-handed pitcher Brent Headrick. 

Should the Twins be looking to the trade market rather than signing a long-term bat in the outfield?

The Minnesota Twins have plenty of money to spend this offseason, and there’s some great fits that will cost a lot. How does this front office work to ensure they can land the big fish, and is there a way for them to get creative in hoping it helps?

At Twins Daily, we've spent the past several weeks highlighting all of the top options at Minnesota's clearest positions of need. But we've also emphasized that it's important to expect the unexpected with this front office.

If they characteristically pivot and aim for the best value they can find later in the offseason, these three impact bats figure as very likely targets.

It is the dream of so many baseball players of all ages, and in May, Twins outfielder Mark Contreras got to live that dream. On this episode of Twins Spotlight, we discuss Contreras’s first call-up to the big leagues and his rookie season. 

On Monday Night, news broke that the Twins agreed to a one-year deal with outfielder Kyle Garlick for $750,000. Let’s talk about it.

The free agent market is set to grow this Friday as the MLB non-tender deadline is upcoming and there are a few players likely to be let go by their teams that could fit the Twins' needs for 2023. 

Aaron and John talk about the free-agent pitching market and whether the Twins should go all-in for someone like Carlos Rodon, why Gio Urshela is no sure thing to be on the team next week, and the state of the 40-man roster as the offseason kicks into gear. You can listen by downloading us from iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio or find it at GleemanAndTheGeek.com.

After the Minnesota Twins decided to trade their closer right before Opening Day last season, the bullpen was immediately thrown in flux. It remained to be seen who would take over and what the roles would look like. Thinking ahead to 2023, it’s worth wondering if there should be a more rigid plan.
