MINNEAPOLIS -- Simeon Woods Richardson wasn’t the first young pitcher given the chance to stick in the final spot in the Minnesota starting rotation this season, and it took Louie Varland struggling mightily to open the campaign for Woods Richardson to finally get an extended look in the Major Leagues.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Up to this point in his career, Byron Buxton would push through anything, play through anything, spend however long he’d need to in the trainer’s room and just do whatever he needed to do to be on the field for his teammates, no matter how he felt. “His

MINNEAPOLIS -- It seems the rally-sparking summer sausage has reached its expiration date. “It might be in the trash by now, honestly, where it belongs,” said manager Rocco Baldelli, who had raised questions regarding its potential adverse health effects on humans all along.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins aren’t quite in unprecedented territory yet with this winning streak -- but they’re in pretty darn good company now. It’s been 33 years since the Twins last had a 12-game winning streak -- and, coincidentally, it’s also been 33 years since the team last won a

LATEST NEWS

MINNEAPOLIS -- Make it 11. After the offense carried this winning streak into the double digits on an explosive -- and, well, protein-packed -- road trip, it was Chris Paddack and the pitching staff that also stepped up to drag that streak to nearly unseen heights by stifling the Red

MINNEAPOLIS -- There was something telling that Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said on Friday that perhaps draws back some of the curtains on the lens through which Byron Buxton’s knee situation is more realistically viewed now. “I think he’s been in a good spot physically,” Baldelli said. “I don’t think

CHICAGO -- There had certainly been optimism surrounding Byron Buxton’s spring and start to the regular season, particularly as his offense picked up and the Twins started winning in bunches -- but that faded again in an all-too-familiar way on Wednesday in Chicago. Buxton exited during the second inning of

You know it’s really Draft season when the first mock draft is out. Between now and July 14, when the 2024 Draft begins, Jim Callis and I will be providing prognostications of the first round on a fairly regular basis with the hope that our final mocks the night before

Pitchers are meant to be ahead of hitters. Sluggers need at-bats to get into the rhythm of the season, and that takes time. Or at least that’s how the popular belief goes. But some Minor League hitters are proving they don’t need time at all to come flying out of

CHICAGO -- As soon as Jhoan Duran slammed the door on the Twins’ ninth straight victory and slapped hands with catcher Christian Vázquez, he turned around and walked toward the patch of grass behind the mound, where his infielders were gathering with their arms around each other, cheesing for an

CHICAGO -- The ability for Twins fans to watch games on television took a hit late Tuesday night, when an inability by Comcast and Diamond Sports Group to reach an extension regarding broadcast rights led to Bally Sports North being inaccessible for Comcast/Xfinity cable consumers. “The Twins are disappointed by

CHICAGO -- To be frank (ba dum tss), it boggles the mind that this is a story that needs to be (well) done, but ... here we are. Baseball players can be superstitious to an extreme, and never has that become more apparent than when a summer sausage started getting

CHICAGO -- It would perhaps have been a little too on-the-nose if the German-born Max Kepler had tapped into the powers of the Twins’ rally sausage before he played hero on Monday night, so perhaps it was for the better that he couldn’t find it before his ninth-inning at-bat. “Usually,

The role of the reliever continues to evolve in baseball, but there’s still something to be said about closers. They’re the ones who get the entrance music and the light show just for coming out of the bullpen in the biggest of spots. (Think of what Edwin Díaz has done

Whenever a Draft list is updated for the first time since December, there are bound to be a lot of changes up and down the rankings. This year's new Draft Top 150 takes that to an extreme, speaking to the volatility and uncertainty of the class outside of the top

There's a longtime scout who likes to say, "The Draft is hard." The 2014 Draft was very hard. It's just one of three Drafts where the No. 1 overall pick finished his career without reaching the Majors, and the only one where neither of the top two selections made it.

ANAHEIM -- Baseball's a sport where if you have a good thing going, you don't dare mess with whatever might be providing those positive vibes -- perishable or not. Last week in Chicago, while the Twins were looking for anything to reverse their early-season struggles, Kyle Farmer put out a
