Twins

Simeon Woods Richardson, Josh Winder, Louie Varland, and Cole Sands all made their first starts in the big leagues in 2022 with a wide range of results. But do first starts predict future success at all? Let's take a look at recent Twins history.

In determining the next steps for the Twins shortstop position, many fans are still trying to process what a Correa-less position would hope for. The options seem to be convincing the front office to open up the bank vault or settling for another year of fill-ins with the hope prospects finally deliver.

Minnesota has made seven significant moves so far this off-season, and each one will impact the roster differently in 2023. Here's how the team's moves rank so far.

MLB and the Players Association agreed last week to move the deadline for offering 2022 contracts to arbitration-eligible players from Thursday, December 2nd, to Tuesday, November 30th, and 7 pm central time. The Twins have several decisions to make. What should they do? What would you do?

Tear another week off the calendar, and we might be further from baseball than we were a week ago. Major League Baseball and the Players Union met earlier this week. Talks got heated, the meeting lasted about 90 minutes, and things have gone off the rails since.

In 2019 and 2020, Gio Urshela was an offensive force for the Yankees. What does he offer the Twins at his best and his worst? What happened to his offense?

In this week’s AL Central Division update we see the consistency of play across the division that may go unmatched the rest of the way. Four of five teams are 5-5 over their last 10 with the Guardians being just 4-6. Minnesota still leads the division as we look to close out the second month of the season.

The month of June was a bit of a roller coaster for the Twins pitching staff, but the team maintained their first-place lead in the American League Central even as they had a losing record on the month of 13-15.

A big part of run-scoring is hitting with runners in scoring position. Which hitters have been doing damage in big spots and which have been filling up on empty calories?

Over the past couple of months, the Minnesota Twins have traded a plethora of their young talent. The top of the farm system is still relatively rich. When looking at who emerges mid-summer in 2023, it’s worth questioning what name appears from the top. Does Brooks Lee or Royce Lewis appear in the new Minnesota threads first?

Aaron and John discuss the growing urgency of Byron Buxton's situation, the dwindling free agent starting pitching market, the likelihood of the Twins signing a top shortstop, and pending arbitration decisions.  You can listen by downloading us from iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio or find it at GleemanAndTheGeek.com.
