MINNEAPOLIS -- Not once, but twice this offseason, it looked like the Twins were out of the Carlos Correa sweepstakes for good. For the second offseason in a row, the Twins have stunned the baseball world by reportedly agreeing to terms with Correa, this time on a long-term deal guaranteeing six years and $200 million, a source told MLB.com's Mark…

The Minnesota Twins signed two-time All-Star and all-or-nothing slugger Joey Gallo on Friday. Clearly, there will be a trickle-down effect on the Twins' current roster, but which players will be most impacted, finding themselves in a new role - or perhaps, even a new city - by the time the regular season kicks off on March 30? It was only a week…

SAN DIEGO - Re-signing Carlos Correa continues to be the Twins' focus at the Winter Meetings, but while they wait for the superstar shortstop and agent Scott Boras to make a franchise-altering decision, plenty of other Twins-related tidbits were circulating around the Manchester Grand Hyatt during the first two days of MLB's annual…

It's the second-to-last day of March, and the Minnesota Twins open up their major league season in just over a week. After the addition of Chris Archer and Derek Falvey indicating the team wouldn't be adding another starter, another addition seems unlikely. With 33 players currently on the roster, the team needs to make five more moves in order to…

The Twins have serious competition in the AL Central this season, but that's been true in each of the last two seasons, and they've still won relatively handily. They are a model franchise of the modern game, with a creative and aggressive front office, state-of-the-art coaches and player development, and a deep roster. Their next challenge will be…

Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen and manager Torey Lovullo have worked together since 2017. Theirs is one of the longest current partnerships in baseball for a head of baseball operations and manager. Only the Dodgers (Andrew Friedman and Dave Roberts), Guardians (Chris Antonelli and Terry Francona), and Mariners (Jerry Dipoto and Scott…

Leading up to the MLB offseason, nobody has given the Minnesota Twins a real chance at landing Carlos Correa to the long-term contract he seeks this free agency. Sure, they got him on a one-year flyer for 2022 and he and his wife seem to have enjoyed their time in the Twin Cities. But when all the chips are pushed in, there's no way the Pohlads…

LAS VEGAS - Perhaps the biggest question facing the Blue Jays this off-season is whether they'll trade from their enviable catching depth to address other needs. Thanks to Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk and Gabriel Moreno, Blue Jays catchers generated an MLB-best 7.3 WAR in 2022. They combined to lead MLB in batting average (.273) and on-base…

It's going to be hard to convince Minnesota Twins fans that there are any aspects of the 2022 season that merit consideration for extension. Even when things were going right, the angst of a challenging season was palpable. However, a few players could find themselves in a more central role with the club in 2023. The question is, should they be…
