The Twins won their final series of the 2026 season over the Texas Rangers, including a 6-4 win on Sunday. The Twins wrap things up with a 77-85 record, good enough for third place in the American League Central. Was it a good season? In many ways, yes. After the Twins traded away all of...

As I said in my previous post, I urged the Twins to make hay against the Baltimore Orioles because they are about to face three good National League teams in the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres.

Byron Buxton remains day-to-day with right hip soreness, and it really shows because the Twins have clearly missed his spark in back-to-back one-run losses to the Milwaukee Brewers. Despite terrific starting pitching in both games, the offense was not equal to the task as the Twins lost 3-2 on Friday and 2-1 Saturday. The one... Continue Reading »
