Second baseman Brian Dozier, who spent seven of his nine seasons with the Twins, called it a career last week and retired. He leaves the game at 33. Dozier was traded by the Twins to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2018. He was never the same player after he left Minnesota, although he would eventually... Continue Reading »

The Twins beat the New York Yankees on Saturday 7-3, which is all fine and well except that the baseball world couldn’t help but notice it was the Twins’ first win in the Bronx in almost three years. Their last win there came on June 26, 2016, a year that will live in infamy for... Continue Reading »

Falvey & Co.* made their first significant personnel moves of the offseason after they sent two players to the minors, including longtime third baseman Trevor Plouffe. So I got fired today! 😎 I plan on writing a huge thank you to everyone, but tonight's not the night. I love you MN! I'll miss you all!... Continue Reading »

The Twins on Tuesday got their first win over the Atlanta Braves this season, getting another quality start out of Ervin Santana, who scattered four hits over seven innings and didn’t allow a run in a 4-2 victory. He also walked two, struck out six and lowered his ERA to 3.43. I wish I could... Continue Reading »

The Twins took two of three from the visiting Miami Marlins this week, getting plenty of power from a lineup that no longer has Miguel Sano and pitching help from some new faces in the bullpen. For the moment, the Twins don’t miss Sano because they hit seven home runs in the team’s two wins... Continue Reading »

The four-game winning streak came to an end Tuesday after the Twins lost 6-5 to the Milwaukee Brewers at Target Field. Key to the loss were two errors, one of which was committed by Miguel Sano in right field which allowed three unearned runs in the fifth inning. Yikes. Sano botches a line drive to...

Soon after the Twins signed and introduced Korean slugger Byung Ho Park, the questions started. Chief among them: If Park plays DH, where do you put Miguel Sano? Sano, the 22-year-old slugger-in-the-making, who hit 18 home runs over 80 games for the Twins last season, stands six-foot-four and weighs around 260 pounds. That’s probably perfect...
