Latest news and updates about the Twins
Summer has officially started, and the Twins are feeling hot, with a 5-1 record last week! A sweep against the Rangers and a 2-1 series win over the Diamondbacks that was filled with homers and runs galore put the team at 38-41, only 3.5 games out of the AL Central lead behind two teams in […]

Four games and four wins. That’s the track record of today’s starter for the Dodgers, Eric Lauer, as he gets ready to face the Twins in a second straight appearance against an American League team. The Dodgers knew exactly what they were getting after acquiring Lauer a little more than a month ago, and they […]
The Braves have been linked to All-Star outfielder Byron Buxton for years now. The reasoning has always been obvious. The Twins haven’t exactly been championship contenders, while the Braves have been and desperately needed an upgrade in the outfield. Add in the fact that Buxton is a Georgia native with a full no-trade clause, and […]
Being the highest-paid player on a Major League Baseball team seems like a sweet gig, minus the pressure. Aaron Judge of the Yankees and Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers are thriving, while others struggle.

Rojas posted a 1.26 ERA over his first 14 1/3 innings in the majors, though that dream start was undermined […]
The Diamondbacks will select the contract of right-hander Jose Cabrera from Triple-A Reno prior to today’s game with the Twins. At least one corresponding move will need to be made to create space for Cabrera on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters, though Ryne Nelson could be moved from the 15-day injured list to the […]
God, what an utterly stupid game. Zac Gallen was going for us. Turns out it didn’t matter who was going for the Twins, though for the record it was Taj Bradley. Our Mr. Gallen really outdid himself tonight, though. His ERA was was sitting at a cool 5.35 at the start of the game; it […]
In the dumbest Twins game any of us will see all year, the Twins jumped out to your classic 16-0, fifth-inning lead, then handed the ball over to the bullpen to drag us kicking and screaming towards a finish line placed just ahead of 12:30 am CT. You’ve maybe never seen a former All-Star become […]

Joe Ryan continues to be one of the prime trade candidates in baseball as we steam towards the mid-summer trade deadline. Coming off an All-Star season, the Minnesota Twins ace is having an even better year—his best yet—with a 2.99 ERA, a 0.99 WHIP, and a 99:18 strikeout to walk ratio in 87.1 innings. The Twins find themselves five games under .500, and while they're still on the periphery of the Wild Card race in the weak American League, it stands to reason that they'll eventually come...

St. Paul – Gabriel Gonzalez’s time in Major League Baseball has been brief. Still, he took a lot away from his weekend with the Minnesota Twins when they swept the Boston Red Sox in mid-May.
