Twins

Prospects flame out every year in baseball. It’s just the nature of the game. From organizational depth to top prospects, no young player’s impact is guaranteed. Three former top Twins prospects have particularly important seasons on the horizon in 2023.

The Twins don't have a player like Nelson Cruz or Jim Thome to plug into the designated hitter spot daily. So, what does that mean for the team's DH role during the 2023 campaign?

A year ago the Minnesota Twins gave the ball to Joe Ryan on Opening Day. Despite making a trade for a frontline starter with a more significant track record, it was the young rookie who got the call. What adjustments he makes for big games could be the narrative of his sophomore season.

Aaron and John talk about the Twins adding Donovan Solano to the infield mix and what it could mean for Alex Kirilloff and Trevor Larnach, plus updates on Jordan Balazovic, Kenta Maeda, Tyler Mahle, and Josh Winder. You can listen by downloading us from iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio or find it at GleemanAndTheGeek.com.

Coming into the season last year the Minnesota Twins had a decent amount of roster uncertainty in more than a few areas. As they look to 2023, it’s hard to view anywhere but second base as the most intriguing position.

FT. MYERS – One Twins prospect that has gained significant attention this offseason is infielder Edouard Julien, who spent the 2022 season at Double-A Wichita. 

A pair of Twins pitchers ventured outside the organization this winter for their offseason training. Now that we’re finding out a bit more of what they’d been working on, what could it mean for 2023?

With a new season soon to get underway, the Minnesota Twins arguably have a new top prospect in the system for the fourth time in as many springs. 

Looking back through top emerging talents of years past – even while limiting our sample to the past decade – serves as a powerful reminder of the folly in casting confident outlooks for even the most 'sure thing' prospects.

FORT MYERS - Wasn't the bench already full. Um, yeah, so that's bad news for some other guys. John Bonnes reports from The Fort.

Corbin Burnes is down over $700,000 and is not happy. A feisty arbitration case between the ace and his employer, the Milwaukee Brewers, has morphed into a debacle, a spectacle rarely publicly available as the details regarding the hearing tell a strange, piddling tale.

Earlier this week the Minnesota Twins completed their first full squad workout. On Tuesday, Donovan Solano became a part of that full squad. Now, the club must make sense of what the 26-man roster looks like.

The Twins' new school pitching philosophy looks an awful lot like an old school philosophy: throw fastballs.
