    While the pandemic-shortened 2020 season consisted of just 60 games, it gave Twins fans a performance that they had been begging for.

    I'll be honest, it sucks to write articles like these. When analyzing the impact players are likely to have, I much prefer to talk about guys with something to prove performance-wise, because it feels more actionable and controllable. Alas, it's impossible to talk about this year's team without...

    Many Twins players have already reported to Fort Myers in eager anticipation of the 2023 season.

    More information about "Twins Front Office Testing an Unsustainable Rotation Solution"
    Last week, Minnesota completed a trade that will add Pablo Lopez to a starting rotation that includes Sonny Gray, Joe Ryan, Tyler Mahle, and Kenta Maeda. None of these pitchers is considered an ace, but all five have shown the ability to be playoff-caliber starters at different points in their caree...

    The Twins haven’t had an MVP since Joe Mauer (2009), a Cy Young since Johan Santana (2006), and a Rookie of the Year since Marty Cordova (1995). Minnesota will need better health and standout performances from the team’s top players to end those streaks. Can any of these names beat the odds and walk...
