Minnesota's system is deep with volatile players who are risky either for a skill-based reason or due to injury.
My college journalism courses taught me to never bury the lede of a story. Sorry, University of Minnesota-Morris English profs—but I’m going to do just that here in pursuit of dramatic effect. The 2026 Minnesota Twins bullpen has set a franchise record in the realm of saves. Before the big reveal, let’s take a brief […]

Culpepper has been extremely good for a 23-year-old at Triple-A and the Twins' shortstop situation has been a season-long weakness.
The Detroit Tigers have been on fire this month, but on Wednesday night they cooled off a bit, taking their second loss of June against the Minnesota Twins at Comerica Park, 6-4.
