Twins

Identifying a team's top prospect can be challenging, but looking forward can provide even more excitement for a franchise's future. Here are the names that will be in consideration for the team's top prospect in 2024.

Long considered a two-pitch pitcher, Chris Paddack appeared to be far from the high-end arm the Twins needed when they shipped off Taylor Rogers on Opening Day. In the young stages of the 2022 season, however, Paddack is showing that it may be time to recalibrate expectations.

Few MLB teams have been bitten by the injury bug like the Twins this season. Could Minnesota win the AL Central with the players currently on the injured list?

The Twins need bullpen help and could certainly use another left hander to mix and match with late in games. Luckily an old friend is looking for a home this winter. Is a reunion with Taylor Rogers in the cards?

Something, something, the announcement we're all waiting for, something something

The Twins have at least seven prospects they'd need to be added to the 40-man to protect from this winter's Rule 5 Draft. How will those names play into the team's trade deadline strategy?

Joe Ryan looked like a front end starter to begin the year and has slowly trended in the wrong direction throughout the summer as many analysts predicted. As the Twins bottom out it’s fair to ask: Is Joe Ryan who we thought he was?

In hot stove season, we typically talk about free agents that the Minnesota Twins should go after. Here are three free-agent relievers that the Twins need to avoid at all costs.

For better or worse, the Twins moved on from multiple players this past off-season. How have those players done for their new organizations? Let's check in.

You didn’t really think it was going to be that easy, did you?

Early on in the season, the Twins sat comfortably atop the division, and it looked like they were primed to run away with the lead. In late May, the Twins led the AL Central by as many as 5.5 games over the Chicago White Sox and 7.0 games over the Cleveland Guardians. But that was many Dollar Dog Nights ago, and there was almost a whole season’s worth of baseball left.

The Minnesota Twins are currently leading the AL Central and are one of the better teams in the American League. Despite having remained at the top for most of the season, it’s largely been the Byron Buxton show on offense and Joe Ryan attributed with the stellar pitching performances. Maybe not so obvious, there’s a trio of contributors being slightly overlooked.

An ancient philosopher once said "fourth time's the charm." After a frustrating first three games in Yankees Stadium, the Twins snatched a win from the Bronx Bombers, moving to just 1.5 games behind Cleveland in the AL Central.
