Twins

Minnesota has made it through the AL East swing that was arguably their toughest stretch of the year. Despite winning two straight series, the Twins are now hotly contested by the Guardians who are clearly the Central’s second-best team. Chicago has had another week of turmoil and the bottom remains unchanged.

Aaron and John talk about the Twins' eight upcoming games vs. the Guardians, Royce Lewis' torn ACL and the future at shortstop, when Alex Kirilloff will return from crushing Triple-A, the domino effect of the rotation getting healthier, and how ready the world is to see more of John Bonnes dancing.  You can listen by downloading us from iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio or find it at GleemanAndTheGeek.com.

If the post-lockout Twins taught us anything, it’s to expect the unexpected. The team is now in first place and in need of reinforcements to make a push in October. Could they move their 2021 breakout prospect?

The Twins continued to win this week while mixing a diverse set of ingredients. The TD forums continued trying to figure out their recipe.

It was an ugly night on the farm for the Minnesota Twins farm system, but Matt Walner launched his 13th dinger for the Wind Surge, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand was a bright spot for Cedar Rapids.

Minnesota’s bullpen has struggled through different parts of the 2022 season, but a beacon of hope may be on the horizon. Can one returning pitcher help solidify the bullpen in the second half?

The Twins have led the AL Central all season. They are in pole position to secure a playoff spot. This begs the question; is the roster set up for postseason success?

With a little over a month left until the 2022 MLB Draft kicks off, things seem to have started to settle down. And by “settle down,” I mean “players have stopped getting hurt so frequently.” (Immediately knocks on wood.)

It was mostly a quiet afternoon from both offenses, but a few clutch hits late were enough for the Twins to win the rubber game against the Mariners. Minnesota wins the first series of the West Coast trip.

There are roughly seven weeks until the trade deadline, and plenty of names will start being tossed around in the rumor mill. Here are three players whose stock has risen recently and how they fit with the Twins. 

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.

A few bad breaks on the bump and a dry spell at the plate plagued the Twins in a 5-0 loss to the Mariners on Tuesday night in Seattle. Here's what you need to know about game two of the series.
