Minnesota Twins

After another rough outing Wednesday night, the Minnesota Twins need to just skip Jose Berrios’ next turn in the starting rotation. Over five August starts, Jose Berrios posted a 7.57 ERA as opposing hitters posted a .333/.395/.556 slash-line against him. He typically struggles in August, to the tune of a 5.96 ERA for his career

The Minnesota Twins could use some bullpen reinforcement, and they’re making a low-risk bet that Cody Allen can eventually help. With a 6.26 ERA over 25 appearances this season, the Los Angeles Angels designated Cody Allen for assignment and then released him. But he’s found a landing spot, as Jon Heyman of MLB Network first

The Minnesota Twins have had a promising start to the season, with the inside track to win the AL Central. These five players should be on their trade radar. Spurred by a new, aggressive, homer-happy approach offensively, and starting pitching that has mostly been top-notch, the Minnesota Twins have one of the best records in

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco completes the 15th cycle in team history, and first in nearly a decade, in a losing effort in Philadelphia on Friday. The Minnesota Twins rewarded shortstop Jorge Polanco with a contract extension in the offseason, and on a cold, windy night in Philadelphia, he showed he’s worth the money. Polanco

The Minnesota Twins dipped into a slow free agent market late last year, and with interest in Marwin Gonzalez they may be doing it again. In a slow MLB free agent market last year, the Minnesota Twins entered late (as in, into spring training) and signed Lance Lynn, Logan Morrison while trading for Jake Odorizzi.

The Minnesota Twins have no real money committed beyond this season, and they’re making an aggressive bet on a breakout from Jorge Polanco. With another slow MLB free agent market this offseason, contract extensions might start coming in droves. After a previous report the Minnesota Twins were optimistic about contract extensions for multiple young core

For the upcoming season, and presumably fairly well beyond, the Minnesota Twins have unveiled a snazzy new alternate jersey. The 2019 baseball season will be upon us soon, with less than a month now before pitchers and catchers will report to spring training in Florida and Arizona. With an eye on feeding baseball fever, two

The Minnesota Twins were an obvious trade deadline seller, but Ervin Santana has taken an opportunity to critique the front office. Heading into the July 31 trade deadline, the Minnesota Twins had lost three of four games to fall nine games back of the Cleveland Indians in the AL Central. They had already started to

A healthy Byron Buxton should have been an easy call-up with September roster expansion, but the Minnesota Twins have decided to focus on an irrelevant issue. Outside of the elite level center field defense he offers, Byron Buxton has not developed as expected since being drafted No. 2 overall in 2012. Injuries have played a

Joe Mauer has only played for his home state team, and he may retire after the season rather than entertain other offers. Through the run of losing seasons since 2011, Joe Mauer has been the lightning rod for a lazy narrative among Minnesota Twins fans. An eight-year, $184 million contract has been the main point

If there was any doubt he’ll retire, Joe Mauer seemed to put it to bed on Sunday. Coming from the capital of our Twin Cities here in Minnesota, a city that has now spawned three Hall of Famers (including the current Twins manager), Joe Mauer was latched onto as “one of us.” There was a

The Minnesota Twins have signed Nelson Cruz, with the idea he’ll provide value on and off the field. The Minnesota Twins made their first significant move of the offseason on Thursday, agreeing to terms with veteran slugger Nelson Cruz. As first reported by Enrique Rojas of ESPN, it’s a one-year deal worth $14.3 million guaranteed

After a disappointing season, Paul Molitor is out as Minnesota Twins manager. So who could replace him? After four seasons as Minnesota Twins manager, multiple reports surfaced early Tuesday afternoon that Paul Molitor has been fired with a press conference announcing the move to come. Molitor succeeded Ron Gardenhire, and had 305-343 record over the last

Miguel Sano has offered far more distraction and untapped promise than production lately, so the Minnesota Twins may have to make a tough decision. A bad moment in Minnesota Twins history came when they decided to release an injury-prone slugger named David Ortiz in December of 2002. Miguel Sano may not become a playoff hero

Coming off a down year, the Minnesota Twins are taking a calculated bet on Jonathan Schoop. The Minnesota Twins had spots to fill on the right side of the infield entering the offseason, and on Thursday they filled second base. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Jonathan Schoop has been signed to a one-year,

Joe Mauer is announcing his retirement from baseball after a 15-year career playing for his hometown team, the Minnesota Twins. For baseball fans in Minnesota, things just won’t be the same heading into the 2019 season. It will be the start of a new era for the Minnesota Twins — an era without Joe Mauer.
