Twins

For multiple offseasons, the Twins' front office has needed to add depth to the starting rotation. Looking ahead to 2023, that may no longer be the case. So, does Minnesota have too many starting pitchers?

Aaron and John talk about MLB's wild, billion-dollar Winter Meetings, what it all means for the Twins and Carlos Correa, the ongoing search for a veteran catcher, Dansby Swanson, Carlos Rodón, and other fallback plans, and which Twins could be on the trade block. You can listen by downloading us from iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio or find it at GleemanAndTheGeek.com.

After a promising start in 2022, the Minnesota Twins faded hard and wound up losing 84 games to finish in third place. 

The front office's key imperative this offseason was to address the shortcomings that led to that downfall, positioning this year's team to weather inevitable storms and make it across the finish line atop the division.

How've they done?

Aaron and John evaluate the addition of Chris Archer, speculate on the Minnesota Twins' final roster moves, and then give their over/under picks on the American League teams, including the Twins' 2022 win total. You can listen by downloading us from iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio or find it at GleemanAndTheGeek.com.

Over the weekend, the Minnesota Twins brought back their fan appreciation weekend for the first time since 2019. Twins Fest returned to Target Field, and although the event was substantially changed, it might have been Friday evening’s Twins Fest Live that represented the highlight of the weekend.

Today, we start with 2012, TD's first year and one that proved to portend a rebuild rather than a rebound for the Twins.

On June 30th, the year of our lord 2022, the Minnesota Twins’ bullpen blew a two-run lead with two innings left in the ballgame. It felt inevitable; the team had already melted down in four similar games against this same Cleveland team, each loss degrading from tragedy to outright comedy. The bullpen is the scapegoat, and while they deserve their share of criticism, these excruciating losses are a group effort.

The Minnesota Twins remain engaged on all fronts this offseason, and while they didn’t make a move at the Winter Meetings, plenty of work was done. Knowing they want to bring back shortstop Carlos Correa, they have also keyed in on several pitchers. One of those is Miami Marlins hurler Pablo Lopez.
