Morneau’s return offers a glimmer of hope
The Twins are in the midst of a tough stretch of baseball to watch for fans and the organization. The team continues to find ways to lose games and the home-stand that ended last night was tough to stomach (even with a win against Boston). Not that long ago it looked as if the Twins [...]
Slowey finds his way out of the doghouse
One of the more questionable things that happened around the July 31st trade deadline for the Twins was the fact that Kevin Slowey stayed with the organization. After the falling out that the Twins and Slowey had earlier in the year, it seemed logical to think that Slowey would be wearing another jersey to end [...]
Third base could be next for Mauer
Last night I wrote about the return of Justin Morneau in the next week to week and a half. This means that Joe Mauer will be losing the alternate position that he has been playing since he returned from the DL in the middle of June. There is the possibility that the team could pencil Mauer [...]
Morneau close to returning
The Twins had another rough series over the weekend and it is getting harder and harder to find positives to focus on for the 2011 season. The pitching staff is struggling, the team can not score runs, and the defense is finding it hard to make routine plays. A sweep by the hated White Sox [...]
Non-waiver trade deadline passes, Span to be sent… back to Twins
Denard Span will be packing his bags soon to join a major league roster, but it won’t be with the Nationals. The rumored Drew Storen-for-Span trade broke down before Sunday’s non-waiver trade deadline. It has been confirmed that not only did the Twins not trade Span, they didn’t make any deadline deal at all. Span [...]
Span-Storen trade hitting a crucial point
The biggest trade rumor surrounding the Minnesota Twins this week has been a deal in which the Twins would send center fielder Denard Span to the Washington Nationals in exchange for relief pitcher Drew Storen. With the deadline being only a couple days away, the talks might have hit a crucial point in the negotiation [...]
Morneau suffering from migraines
As if Morneau did not have enough to worry about after a concussion last season, a wrist injury this year, and a recovery from neck surgery, now he is dealing with recurring migraine headaches. Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com has reported on Twitter the last few days that Morneau has been held back in his path to recovery. [...]
DL bound: Casilla out for 2-3 weeks, en route to Twin Cities
The Twins will be without second baseman Alexi Casilla for a bit. Casilla’s hamstring injury from Wednesday’s game against the Rangers will knock him out for at least a week and is headed back to the Twin Cities, according to LaVelle E. Neal III of the Star Tribune. According to Twins trainer Rick McWane via Rhett Bollinger [...]
Outfield shuffle set to begin with Kubel’s return
Jason Kubel is set to rejoin the Twins on Friday night at Target Field in the middle of an important series with the Detroit Tigers. Kubel has been absent from the Twins since injuring his left foot in a game at Detroit on May 30th. He was the team’s best hitter for the first two [...]
Mauer’s bat continues to heat up
The Twins suffered through most of the first half of the season without their $23 million man. The offensive woes of the team were punctuated by the absence of the team’s biggest superstar. Joe Mauer has now returned to the middle of the line-up for the Twins and he has provided an offensive spark for [...]
