Latest news and updates about the Twins
Last summer, the Red Sox made a bold bid to bolster the rotation and acquire Joe Ryan from the Minnesota Twins. But of course, as we now know, they didn’t land their man. What we didn’t know at the time – or at least didn’t know in detail – is that the Twins balked at […]
The Twins may want to add another starter if Joe Ryan lands on the IL, but they should still avoid reuniting with this right-hander.
Draftees, trades, and graduations have really shaken things up in the Twins organization this month as the system has added and lost a bunch of notable prospects. The top of the list remains loaded high-minors talent that is likely to contribute to the major league team in 2027 or potentially as early as this fall. […]
Collecting my post-deadline thoughts now that the dust has settled, including a pair of theories about the Twins' decision-making approach.
Minnesota Twins first-round pick Vahn Lackey has immediately shown his potential behind the plate.
The Twins are sending Joe Ryan for testing on his glute and back, manager Derek Shelton told reporters on Wednesday (link via Dan Hayes of The Athletic). He’s questionable to make his scheduled start on Sunday and might wind up on the 15-day injured list. Although it doesn’t seem like a huge concern, there has clearly […]
Noah Cameron continued his recent run of success and decided to dominate the Twins for a second start in a row. That allowed the Royals to win 2-1 despite having some struggles at the plate of their own. We had a good old-fashioned pitcher’s duel between maybe not the most likely of starters. Both Noah […]
The Minnesota Twins have sent Joe Ryan back to Minneapolis early for a possible injury. Here's what we know...
First Chuck: 6:40 PM (new anthem each week!) The Tube: Twins.TV The Dial: Treasure Island Baseball Network Spies ‘R Us: Royals Review Usually, tonight’s Minnesota Twins vs Kansas City Royals clash would be serenaded with a Matt Monitto song selection. I’m filling in for Matt tonight, so we’ll have a different sort of medium to […]
It was nice to see Bobby Witt Jr. back in action and looking at his full power last night. Game two of the series will commence tonight. Which Noah Cameron will we see? He put up 8 innings of 1 hit baseball last time out against this same Minnesota team. It was his second dominant […]
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan's recent injury update may offer an explanation for his recent struggles.
Aaron and John recap the Twins' trade deadline moves to add Jeff Hoffman, A.J. Minter, and Dean Kremer, speculate about the moves they didn't make while keeping the lineup intact with Ryan Jeffers and Trevor Larnach, and wonder what's wrong with Joe Ryan.
The Minnesota Twins added some payroll at the MLB trade deadline and now owner Tom Pohlad says more is coming...
The Minnesota Twins were aggressive at the trade deadline. Here are grades for each trade that the club made.
A new hitter means a new batting order. Sure, the change in the lineup created by the addition of Luis Arraez is far less shocking than the changes it created for the defense. But there’s still plenty to discuss. Arraez batted cleanup last night. He’s far from the prototypical cleanup hitter, but baseball has been […]
One of the commenters on the Daulton Varsho lab asked if I would do a lab on Trevor Larnach. Usually, I don’t pay much attention to what hasn’t been done, but multiple reports have now indicated that a deal was in place to send Bryan Abreu to the Twins in exchange for Larnach. According to […]
You can't win or lose a playoff spot in August, but remaining in the hunt is vital to the Twins' postseason hopes
Bobby Witt Jr. is the best Kansas City Royals’ best player. The only problem is that he has been on the injured list for the last 11 games. But tonight, he was back in the lineup, and he immediately made his presence known. So, too, did Kyle Isbel, in his first game back since June […]
The Royals got on the board first tonight against Joe Ryan. A pair of singles followed by a sac-fly RBI by Salvador Perez got the job done. Then, Michael Massey ripped a double to left-center to make it 2-0, Royals. The Twins, who struggled against Randy Dobnak the last time they faced him, continued those […]

The Orioles announced that left-hander Cade Povich has been recalled Triple-A Norfolk. Catcher Carlos Narváez and outfielder Christian Franklin, both acquired in trades yesterday, have been activated to the active roster. Those three take the spots of catcher Jake Rogers, outfielder Taylor Ward and right-hander Tyler Wells, who were traded away in separate deals yesterday. […]
Orioles and Blue Jays fans seemed way too happy to give their underperforming pitchers to the Twins.
The Kansas City Royals are apparently collecting ulnar collateral ligaments like Infinity Stones, and they’ll soon have two more for their collection. Before Tuesday’s game against the Minnesota Twins, Royals manager Matt Quatraro told the gathered reporters that pitchers Stephen Kolek and Luinder Avila will both go under the knife for Tommy John surgery tomorrow. […]
The Twins are under .500, but just one game out of a playoff spot (talk about missed opportunities for the Royals if they were halfway decent!) That was enough for them to be buyers at the trade deadline. They weren’t super aggressive, but they did add a starting pitcher with a good track record who […]
Over the last few days, the New York Mets went through with what has been speculated about for weeks: A […]
