The Twins Can’t Possibly be This Injured Next Year, Right?

The Minnesota Twins finished the 2022 season with a disappointing record. However, there are reasons to be optimistic about the future. Today's topic is injuries.

The Minnesota Twins had a lot of injuries this season. Every big-name player on the team spent significant time on injured list.

The Minnesota Twins have a lot of injuries. Kenta Maeda will have Tommy John surgery in 2021 and miss all of 2022. Randy Dobnak will miss 2022 as well. Jorge Alcala will be out for the rest of the season with an elbow injury. Byron Buxton will play only part of this season because of knee soreness. Offseason acquisition Sonny Gray has hamstring tightness and Jhon Romero has a biceps injury that will end his season.

The 2022 Twins set a franchise record for number of players used in a season. The new head trainer is coming in next year. The Twins can't be as injured in 2023 as they were in 2022.

Do The Twins Need Bullpen Help?

Do The Twins Need Bullpen Help?

This Twins front office has taken a few big swings on relief additions in their tenure and often whiffed. From Addison Reed to Jorge Lopez, it's easy to see why the Twins may have developed a belief that bullpens aren't worth majorly investing in. With a decline in payroll headed into 2024, we should expect them to show a good bit of restraint…

Who is the Twins’ most likely trade candidate: Max Kepler or Jorge Polanco?

In the first major, albeit wholly expected, domino to fall in an intriguing offseason for Derek Falvey and Thad Levine, the team reportedly picked up options on both Max Kepler and Jorge Polanco earlier this week. Now that we know both long-time Twins are under contract, how does the front office see the second and third base positions shaking out…

Minnesota Twins 2024 Offseason Guide: Important Dates, Schedule, & Details

2023 was a great season of Twins baseball. The Twins had their biggest single game and series wins in 19 and 21 years, respectively. After a long 2023 offseason of wishing for the team to have an ace, one may have emerged in Pablo Lopez. This team would have sunk without the contributions of rookies Royce Lewis, Edouard Julien, and Matt Wallner,…

The Twins' Bullpen Is In Good Shape For The Postseason

The Twins' Bullpen Is In Good Shape For The Postseason

The Twins' bullpen got a big boost last night, when flamethrowing righties Chris Paddack and Brock Stewart returned to the mound. Paddack has been out all season recovering from Tommy John surgery, while Stewart has been on the shelf with elbow discomfort for the past three months. Paddack nearly made his return on Sunday, but a rain delay ended…

The Twins don't have a ton of drama left in the American League Central race, but there is plenty of intrigue on how they will fill their 26-man playoff roster.

Bailey Ober beating the odds, but finds numbers stacked against him at Twins camp

FORT MYERS, FLA. - Bailey Ober is good with numbers, and he volunteered some interesting ones this weekend. For instance? "In my [2017] draft class, there were a couple hundred pitchers [actually 192] taken before me," Ober cited, "and only eight have a better WAR than me now." Entirely true and, it should be noted, five of those were drafted with…

With Spring Training in full swing, it's time to start thinking about what the Opening Day roster might look like for the Minnesota Twins.

Twins host team-building Spring Training egg toss competition

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The bulletin board closest to the door in the Twins' Spring Training clubhouse shows that day's schedule. Typically, you see coaches' meetings, stretch times, what time the clubhouse opens -- you know, normal baseball player stuff. That's why the schedule for Friday caught my eye. Action: "2 Stacks."

Will the Real Trevor Larnach Please Stand Up

Will the Real Trevor Larnach Please Stand Up

Seeing plenty of other talents fly off the market, Minnesota opted to bet on the bounceback from outfielder Joey Gallo. His addition likely cements the future for Max Kepler, and removes him from the organization. But that would place plenty of focus on youngsters Alex Kirilloff and Trevor Larnach. For much of their major league careers thus far,…

The Minnesota Twins signed two-time All-Star and all-or-nothing slugger Joey Gallo on Friday.

The Minnesota Twins are 5 games behind the Cleveland Guardians in the American League Central division and, at 8.5 games back of Seattle, all but eliminated from wildcard contention.

Why Minnesota Twins' starting rotation makes or breaks their 2022 playoff hopes

The Minnesota Twins have been all over the place of late. On the heels of back-to-back American League Central division titles, the Twins collapsed in 2021. They finished last in the division and were sellers at the MLB trade deadline, most notably moving Jose Berrios and Nelson Cruz. This offseason, Minnesota made a 180, as they were one of the…

Minnesota Twins 2022: Scouting, Projected Lineup, Season Prediction

From worst to first is a common theme in sports. From first to worst, not so much. That's what the Twins did in 2021. After two years of ruling the AL Central, they slid to the bottom of the division in a nightmare 2021 season. The question is, are they going to stay there in 2022? Much will depend on the pitching staff. No. 1 starter José Berríos…

Instead, they finished 16 games under.500 and went from first in 2019 and 2020 to worst in 2021. They don't look like a legitimate contender in 2022, either. The Twins haven't won a playoff series since…
