THANK YOU From Twins Daily!

First and foremost, we're thankful for our readers and commenters here on the site. You all have made this an amazing place to come and discuss our favorite team every day. So far this year, more than half a million unique visitors have stopped by Twins Daily, blowing away our total for the entirety of 2014. We are on track to approach 10 million page views. As long as you folks keep coming, we'll keeping working our hardest to provide the best independent baseball coverage in town.

On that note, we're also thankful to everyone who has bought a copy of our Offseason Handbook. It's a fun (though exhausting) product to put together, and the reception in terms of sales and feedback made those efforts feel worthwhile. If you haven't picked up a copy yet, it makes a great read for the long holiday weekend as the Winter Meetings approach.

We're thankful for our moderators, who maintain sanity and civility in our forums. That can be a tremendous challenge at times, but these individuals work tirelessly to ensure that the TD message boards remain a welcoming environment where fans of all stripes can feel comfortable expressing their viewpoints and exchanging ideas.

We're thankful for every last blog contribution that is submitted to the site. I've read a lot of really great stuff here this year that didn't come from any of the core writers and I've discovered a number of new voices that I thoroughly enjoy. That was always a big part of the vision when we first launched three years ago.

We're thankful this Twins team that we cover so obsessively has returned to relevance with a winning season and a clear upward trajectory. With a big wave of young talent entering the fold, and a couple of major moves already in the books here in this young offseason, there's plenty of reason for optimism that even better things are on the horizon.

We're extremely excited for everything that lies ahead this winter and into next season. It's a great time to be a Twins fan and we're grateful to be able to share the ride with all of you. Have an awesome holiday!
