The Minnesota Twins entered Wednesday’s series finale against the Chicago White Sox stuck in a frustrating early-season funk—and then, the rain came. A 3-hour, 20-minute delay pushed back first pitch and left the team stuck in a holding pattern at Guaranteed Rate Field. But instead of letting the delay derail them, the Twins found rhythm […]

The 2025 MLB regular season is still two months away but the Minnesota Twins already have a starter for their Opening Day assignment.

The Minnesota Twins have had a fairly quiet offseason, and with payroll questions surrounding the team, rumors have swirled around them suggesting they could potentially subtract some of their top players, rather than bringing more top players aboard. One such guy who has once again popped up in trade rumors is starting pitcher Pablo Lopez. […]

Despite missing the playoffs in 2024, the Minnesota Twins have yet to make a major offseason splash. However, trading away star pitcher Pablo Lopez would certainly make some noise. Minnesota is listening to trade offers for the star right-hander, via Jeff Passan of ESPN. Depending on how the rest of free agency shakes out, those […]

The smell and crunch of the infield dirt. Fresh-cut grass. The pop of the bag when running through first base. The crack of the bat when making full contact. There is something between tangible and ethereal for those who love the game of baseball, like Pablo Lopez. A name often heard ahead of this year’s […]

There is possibly some feeling from fans of being underwhelmed as the Minnesota Twins were radio silent for the most part during an exciting MLB trade deadline that went by this past Tuesday. Even such Twins stars as Byron Buxton and Pablo Lopez would comment on the front office not making huge moves during the […]

Being a streaky team is not something MLB franchises want to be labeled as. Going back and forth between winning stretches and losing skids can take a toll on a clubhouse and leave the players questioning their performances on a daily basis. No team better embodies the “streaky” mantra this year than the Minnesota Twins. […]

With Opening Day games set to kick off in under 24 hours, it’s the last day for all of us to stake our claim on the 2024 MLB season before it’s officially tainted by hindsight. And while favorites are favorites for a reason, today is the day to buck the trend. That’s right, it’s time […]

The Minnesota Twins came out on Sunday and put their best foot forward in Game 2 of the ALDS, beating the Houston Astros 6-2.

This season, the Minnesota Twins are a good roster. Not a great one, mind you (they seem destined to win 92 games before crapping out in the playoffs to the Yankees for the 100th time), but a very good one all the same. And in the pillow fight that is the AL Central, good is […]

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez has established himself as one of the most consistent pitchers in baseball over the last four seasons. Incredibly, he almost didn’t play baseball.

The Minnesota Twins (10-6) continue to make early noise, this time agreeing with pitcher Pablo Lopez on a huge 4-year, $73.5 million contract extension, via Craig Mish of MLB Network.

The St. Louis Cardinals have some moves to make following a loss in the Wild Card round last season. The addition of Willson Contreras helps but they could still use more.

The San Diego Padres have indicated that they are ready to go all-in with this core led by Fernando Tatis Jr. as they added Juan Soto from the Washington Nationals in exchange for a plethora of prospects.

The New York Yankees are hoping to rebuff the roster ahead of the 2023 MLB season and stage a run to the World Series. While the primary task in the offseason will be re-signing Aaron Judge on a mega deal, the Yankees will need to do much more than that if they want to return […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have an almost perfect roster. Although their depth did not lead to a World Series championship in 2022, LA will still feel confident heading into 2023.

The New York Yankees made a rather odd decision by trading left-hander Jordan Montgomery at the deadline.
