Latest news and updates about the Twins
CBS Sports | R.J. Anderson: The Yankees are one of several teams interested in Ty France, per MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo. The Red Sox, Mets, Padres, and Diamondbacks are among the first baseman’s other suitors. France slashed .257/.320/.360 last year in 138 games with the Twins and Blue Jays. This report comes on the heels of […]
It has been expected (by me, at least) ever since Main Street/FanDuel Sports Network (the successor to Diamond/Bally) missed a broadcast rights payment to the Cardinals back in December, and now it’s happening: a whole bunch more clubs are returning their local broadcast rights to Major League Baseball, as had happened previously over the last year+ with the Padres, Diamondbacks, Twins, Rockies, Nationals, and Guardians. Up to eight more teams, formerly having their rights at Diamond/Ball...
The Twins kicked off the week with a surprising trade of former top prospect Edouard Julien and reliever Pierson Ohl for minor leaguer Jace Kaminski, who had missed all of 2025 with Tommy John surgery. They ended the week with a bombshell announcement that POB&BO Derek Falvey and the team were parting ways. While the […]

Let’s get excited for baseball! If the Twins are going to compete for a division title in 2026, they’re going to need […]
Hello everyone! Welcome to our new Daily Question series for the month of February. With Spring Training around the corner, we want to hear from you on what 2026 holds for your Minnesota Twins. Let’s get excited for baseball! After nine years at the helm of the Minnesota Twins, Derek Falvey and the Twins agreed […]
After nearly a decade running the Twins’ baseball operations and a year of managing the business side, the Twins and Derek Falvey announced they agreed to a “mutual parting of ways.” The Twins, Falvey, and owner Tom Pohlad all released statements which can be read below. It’s hard to overstate how major of a change […]
The Minnesota Twins and Derek Falvey, the president of baseball operations and business operations for the team, have “mutually agreed to part ways,” the team has announced this morning. General manager Jeremy Zoll will take over the baseball operations role for now, with the team saying they will immediately begin searching for a replacement for […]
This is an absolute stunner; less for the content of the decision and more for the timing. The chief baseball officer in Minnesota is out, after almost the entire offseason played out, and on the eve of Spring Training: Minnesota Twins and Derek Falvey Mutually Agree to Part Ways pic.twitter.com/ILxMXy1AZl — Minnesota Twins (@Twins) January 30, 2026 Suffice to say, this is NOT a normal time for a top baseball executive to be moving on from an organization. I actually can’t...
Once one of the most promising Twins on the roster, Edouard Julien’s time in Minnesota has come to a close. The Twins announced they traded Julien and pitching Pierson Ohl to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for right-handed pitching prospect Jace Kaminska. Julien, 26, was instrumental to the Twins’ 2023 playoff run when they finally […]
In yet another move this morning, Colorado Rockies announced they have acquired infielder Edouard Julien and right-handed pitcher Pierson Ohl from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for minor league pitcher Jace Kaminska and cash considerations. Out of minor league options, Julien, 26, joins the club after spending parts of three seasons with the Twins. Originally […]
For weeks, the city of Minneapolis has been under occupation by the murderers, kidnappers, and rapists going by the moniker ICE. Two protestors, Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, were openly murdered by ICE agents and smeared as aggressors by Donald Trump and his administration. Unsurprisingly, the billionaire owner of the Twins, when asked to […]
Hot on the heels of adding to their pitching depth with Cooper Criswell entering the fold, the Mariners have made a small move to bolster their options on the other end of the battery. Pereda, 30 in mid-April, has played in affiliated ball since 2013 after being signed by the Cubs out of Venezuela. After […]
Results I’ll always remember the events of 2018’s final Minnesota Twins contest—if mainly because I happened to be moving out of an apartment that day and missed it all live. But when my dust had settled and I watched the highlights, I was as moved by what transpired as any other MN sports fan. You […]
If I’m being honest, baseball has not been top of mind for most folks in Twins Territory the past few weeks. It was a relatively busy week for the Twins, though, with the Twins Caravan in full swing around the state and surrounding areas, TwinsFest this past weekend, and the reunion with an old friend. […]
Good morning, folks… The first SportsDay Rangers podcast episode of 2026 features Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi. Yu Darvish clarifies the reports of his possibly pending retirement. Former Texas Rangers first baseman Rob Maurer died earlier this week. The Twins signed a pair of players discussed as possible targets for the Rangers, reliever Taylor […]
Meet the Mets The Mets made yet another move yesterday, albeit a relatively minor one, as they acquired former top prospect Vidal Bruján from the Twins for cash considerations and designated left-handed reliever Richard Lovelady for assignment. Deesha Thosar writes that the Mets saved their offseason with a pivotal week. Fellow executives see the Mets’ […]
After the mostly-promising but late-season collapse of 2022 2024 1984, the Minnesota Twins sagged to 77-85 in 1985. Things got worse in ‘86: 71-91, 6th in the AL West—21 GB the West-winning California Angels. The average draw of 15,000 per Metrodome contest—2nd-worst in AL attendance coffers—presented a lot of bad baseball for Bob Kurtz & […]
Today at FanGraphs, Davy Andrews made a case for the Colorado Rockies signing Luis Arraez. This is, I realize, a topic we’ve explore before (here courtesy of Skyler Timmins). As teams begin to finalize their rosters, I pose the question again: Should the Rockies sign Luis Arráez? Please keep in mind our Purple Row Community Guidelines when […]
The Mets have acquired utility player Vidal Bruján from the Twins for cash considerations, and to make room for him on their 40-man roster, they’ve also designated left-handed pitcher Richard Lovelady for assignment. Entering his age-28 season, Bruján has struggled pretty mightily at the plate in his major league career despite having been a consensus […]
Almost exactly four years after trading him to the Padres, the Twins agreed to a one year contract with left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers according to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic. The pact will pay Rogers $2M in 2026. Rogers has been bouncing around National League contenders since leaving the Twin Cities. He split 2022 between […]
Taylor Rogers was one of the Cubs’ deadline acquisitions last year, and, although he’s long been an effective reliever, his role always felt pretty marginal with the Cubs. Candidly, as you can see up there, I never even had a good opportunity to retrieve a Rogers-in-Cubs-uniform image during his 17-appearance tenure with the team. Kinda telling. That isn’t to say the trade, which sent outfield prospect Ivan Brethowr to the Pirates, was a dud for the Cubs. It was a fine move on paper, it w...
Before making the signing of Ranger Suarez official earlier Wednesday morning, the Red Sox made a trade with the Twins to create a 40-man roster spot for the All-Star left-hander. In exchange for infielder Tristan Gray, who came over from the Rays for reliever Luis Guerrero in November, Boston acquired minor league catcher/first baseman Nate … Continue reading "Which prospect did Red Sox acquire from Twins for Tristan Gray?"
The Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2026 was finalized yesterday with the election(s) of Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones. While so much has been said about the electees, I’m curious about the players who didn’t get in. Of the 11 first-time nominees who fell off the ballot yesterday, none were Twins; of returning players, […]
Dodgers utility man Ryan Fitzgerald cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, per MLB transaction logs. This keeps Fitzgerald around as a potential depth option on the position-player side, though he is currently not on the 40-man roster. Fitzgerald was claimed by the Dodgers off waivers from the Twins on […]
Paul Toboni and the Washington Nationals made an interesting move on the waiver wire this afternoon. They claimed utility-man Mickey Gasper from the Twins and DFA’d Andry Lara to make room for him on the 40-man roster. While Gasper is 30 and has not had success at the MLB level yet, it is easy to […]
