Twins

It never rains in sunny California, but the Twins' fall from first has left the TD forums wondering, are (Sonny) Gray skies going to clear up?

Earlier this summer Twins Daily’s Melissa Berman sat down with artist Kickliy Sports and peeled back the layers as to what makes the Minnesota artist tick. With Minnesota Twins fans now well aware of his work, and clamoring for each new rendition, I wondered what viewing a game solely through his perspective would look like.

The Twins took an early lead thanks to Jorge Polanco and Gary Sanchez, but as it has been so many times with this team, the bullpen relinquished the lead in the late innings on the way to an 8-5 loss.

The Minnesota Twins were granted an off day after the Toronto Blue Jays were gifted a win on a controversial play. They parlayed that into an absolute drubbing at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers. While that’s understandable going on the road against the best team in baseball, the reactions warrant the question, “Does it really matter how Minnesota gets in?”

For multiple offseasons, the Twins' front office has needed to add depth to the starting rotation. Looking ahead to 2023, that may no longer be the case. So, does Minnesota have too many starting pitchers?

The Minnesota Twins placed Miguel Sano on the 60-day injured list due to complications from his knee surgery. After a torrid stretch rehabbing, and a small six-at-bat sample in his return, the end of Sano’s career with the organization is now likely here. How will it be remembered?

Minnesota’s front office filled multiple needs at the trade deadline, but the team is hardly perfect. So, what are the team’s most significant weaknesses?

The St. Paul Saints will get a fresh face this week when 2021 Minor League Pitcher of the Year Louie Varland makes his Triple-A debut. The news broke this afternoon on Twitter. In FCL action, 2022 first-round pick Brooks Lee again shined bright, and fellow draftees Tanner Schobel and Jorel Ortega followed him in the lineup.

The Minnesota Twins signed Carlos Correa to a three-year deal this offseason that paid him the highest average annual value ever among infielders ($35.1 million). Despite the massive fanfare and top highlights, it’s looking like quite the flop at this point. Where did the good version of their shortstop go?

Few baseball prospects can live up to the hype surrounding their trek through the minor league system. It looked like Nick Gordon was running out of big-league opportunities, but he has been crucial to Minnesota’s 2022 success.

It was an eventful week that saw the Twins make several key additions at the trade deadline, part with multiple bullpen fixtures from the first half, and put forth a winning week on the field – dampened by a sour finish.

Let's get caught up on all the action.
