Twins

The Minnesota Twins traded away multiple prospects at the trade deadline. Will Austin Martin be the next prospect dealt?

In terms of existential "needs" on the Twins roster, catcher ranks behind only shortstop on the offseason priority list. 

In determining the plan going forward, Minnesota's decision makers need to ask themselves a series of questions, with the answers pointing to various different sets of options. 

Imagine sitting down on April 6th for the first Twins game of the 2023 season. It’s still a bit cold for baseball, but the warmth of seeing the team again soothes the cold plastic of the seats. The Astros are in town—not the team you exactly want on Opening Day to get fans excited. But the park is packed because of the name on the mound. The Twins have done it. They've gone and got a front-line starter that is worthy of our attention. And guess what: he’s also hitting clean up.

Just prior to Opening Day 2022 the Minnesota Twins shuffled their roster when they got together with the San Diego Padres for a trade. Over the winter, these two could again match up as partners swapping assets.

Joe Ryan had as good of a season as we could have reasonably asked for, but it somehow feels like he left some meat on the bones. Is it possible that one of the Twins most consistent pitchers has another step they can take in 2023?

The Minnesota Twins have a need for starting pitching entering the 2023 Major League Baseball season. If that feels like an evergreen statement, it’s because it is, but basically for every organization across the sport. For Minnesota, however, they need a frontline arm and they’ve never paid for one before.

No one in baseball spent more money this season than the New York Mets. It wasn’t enough to win Steve Cohen’s organization a division title, and they bowed out early in the postseason. Now a rotation exodus begins and the Minnesota Twins could be intrigued by a few names.

The Twins swung two deals for starters over the last nine months: first for Sonny Gray and then for Tyler Mahle. Is a third on the horizon?

The Twins had a handful starting pitching prospects that made brief appearances in the big leagues during the 2022 season. Three of these pitchers, Louie Varland, Simeon Woods-Richardson, and Josh Winder, are likely to make appearances for the Twins during the 2023 season. Which of these three is most likely to spend the most time in the Twins' starting rotation?
 

Days after the conclusion of an injury-plagues 2022 Minnesota Twins season, head trainer Michael Salazar was relieved of his duties. On Thursday, the Twins announced his replacement. They have hired Nick Paparesta from the Oakland A's organization. 

Carlos Correa and Luis Arraez had terrific offensive seasons. Now, MLB is recognizing their tremendous prowess at the plate. How do they stack up in the competition for the 2022 Silver Slugger awards?
