Twins

This stretch of games was a big reason that the Minnesota Twins were the favorite to win the division despite a tough road in July and August. Thirteen games against the bottom of the AL Central was going to allow them to get fat, and that has played out as expected. With one final series in Detroit against the Tigers, maybe Minnesota can exact some revenge on Ron Gardenhire’s squad for their ineptitude against the competition presented by the Cleveland Indians.

With Zack Wheeler coming off the board, Twins Territory seems to have attached to Madison Bumgarner as the must-have free agent of the offseason. Why? Here’s a look at how MadBum stacks up against two much less heralded pitchers on the free agent market.

Last night, I posted my choices for the Twins Hitters of the Decade for the 1960s. Today, I am sharing my choices for the Twins Pitchers of the Decade for that 1960s. While not as impressive as the hitter list, this group does show the depth of solid pitchers that were on the Twins roster in the 1960s. Please leave your comments.

When I started out on this venture back in late June, my goal was to highlight some of the best women sharing their talents around the world of baseball. That took us outside of Twins Territory, and even behind the scenes. Now to put a bow on it all, it seems only logical to go with a familiar face, Marney Gellner.

The Minnesota Twins may be looking ahead to major turnover this offseason, with nearly a third of their 2020 roster hitting the open market.

Which pending free agents should the team make efforts to bring back? Which ones should be on their way? Offseason Live breaks it down.

There is no question how important signing international players is to MLB organization. One strong signing class can alter a franchise’s future as Minnesota’s current core includes Miguel Sano, Max Kepler, and Jorge Polanco, who were all signed during the same international signing period.

Minnesota Twins prospect Twitter went atwitter when video dropped of Louie Varland hitting 100 miles per hour in a February bullpen session.

It was an incredible achievement for the North St. Paul graduate. For most of his career, Varland had been in the mid-90s, maxing at 94. In training, his velocity had been increasing but not like this. On that day,he was shooting upper 90s consistently. There were 97s, 98s, 99s, and, finally, there it was: three numbers, a dot, and another number.

And it almost didn’t happen.

The Twins bullpen is certified bad at this point and outside help seems like a long shot. The Twins have been trying a lot of the same arms in relief but the time may be coming soon to try some new names. Here are 3 internal arms that could make a big impact in the bullpen.

Home runs by Alex Kirilloff and Jorge Polanco and an explosive eighth inning pushed the Minnesota Twins past the Detroit Tigers Saturday afternoon.

The offseason is officially underway, and while the Stove's temperature could hardly be described as Hot, there's been plenty of action percolating in MLB, with some surprising early moves.

For the Twins, efforts have largely been geared toward clearing roster space and preparing for the work ahead. But there has been one noteworthy addition, and some intriguing rumors bouncing around.

Fort Myers, FL - A game day at Hammond Stadium, there was plenty going all over the complex early in the day. MLB Network was in town to give Minnesota their day on the station, and Wander Franco is in the opposing Tampa Bay Rays lineup.

Derek Falvey and Thad Levine should rightfully get credit for the team's current success, but eleven players on the current 40-man roster were acquired under the previous regime. So, which players are tied to Bill Smith and Terry Ryan's front offices?
