    Dallas Keuchel said that the Minnesota Twins didn’t have to sell him too hard on signing with them. They had a full rotation but have a Triple-A team in a big-league city.

    The Twins are heartened by Miguel Sano’s rehab from surgery to insert a titanium rod into his shin, writes MLB.com’s Rhett Bollinger, but it’s still unlikely that Sano will log 150+ games at third base next season. Minnesota will still rely on Sano at the hot corner, but will rotate him between that position and DH, once again giving Eduardo Escobar reps at third as well. The ability to spell Sano...2017

  • • We’re Getting A Clearer Picture Of What the Twins Should Do At the Deadline
    The Minnesota Twins had the fourth-best record in the American League at last year’s trade deadline. At 54-48, they led the AL Central by one game over the Cleveland Guardians and three games over the Chicago White Sox.

    Tyler Duffey is a remnant of a flawed Minnesota Twins draft philosophy. Before Derek Falvey and Thad Levine took over, the previous regime drafted star college relievers hoping they’d become reliable starters in the majors. In 2015 they took University of Illinois closer Tyler Jay sixth overall, one spot in front of Andrew Benintendi and two ahead of Ian Happ....2022
