LaVelle E. Neal III and Jim Souhan on Kepler, Gallo, Kiriloff, Larnach, Wallner & more, plus thoughts on Target Field & Twinsfest. From Aquarius Home Services Studio (https://aquariushomeservices.com/)Talk North Podcast Network

The Minnesota Twins blew way too many leads in 2022, struggling to hold on in the late innings as teams crawled back into games and often took control. With Jhoan Durán returning and Jorge López, Griffin Jax, Caleb Thielbar and others joining him, do the Twins have enough juice in their bullpen as currently constructed? Let's take a look at both si…

As the Twins' voice since 1983, Dick Bremer has seen the ups, downs and everything in-between. He joins the show today to discuss the Twins' move to bring back Carlos Correa, the trading of Luis Arraez for Pablo López, Joe Mauer's Hall of Fame candidacy, Justin Morneau in the booth and much more. A huge thank you to Dick for coming on and connectin…

The Minnesota Twins limped to the finish line in a rough September in 2022. The front office has set out to right the wrongs by building quality depth all over the roster. From Kyle Farmer to Michael A. Taylor to Pablo López, the Twins are working to avoid the injury-plagued depth problems from 2022. The 2023 roster is built to withstand more injur…

The Minnesota Twins, after trading All-Star and AL batting champion Luis Arraez, are expressing quiet confidence in Alex Kirilloff's ability to man first base for a chunk of 2023. Even if Kirilloff returns from wrist surgery healthy and ready to perform, the Twins could still acquire a right-handed first baseman to platoon with Kirilloff. There are…

Arraez for Lopez & 2 prospects? LaVelle, Roy and Jim weigh in, Plus: Smalley Family Dinner & remembering two greats. From Aquarius Home Services Studio (https://aquariushomeservices.com/)Talk North Podcast Network

The Minnesota Twins made another trade Monday, acquiring CF Michael A. Taylor from the Kansas City Royals for relief prospects Steven Cruz and Evan Sisk. The Twins have made an effort to build depth on their roster for 2023, evidenced by their trade for Pablo López. Taylor leads all outfielders in Defensive Runs Saved since 2020 and joins an outfie…

In a surprising move for many Minnesota Twins fans, the club traded their fan favorite Luis Arraez in a deal for Miami Marlins starter Pablo López and prospects José Salas and Byron Chourio. While the Twins were in need of another starter capable of producing at a frontline level, Arraez was one of the Twins' best hitters for the last four seasons.…

As rumors floated throughout the last couple weeks, many speculated on what a package would look like for Pablo López. Well, here it is. The Minnesota Twins have traded Luis Arraez to the Miami Marlins for López, SS José Salas and OF Byron Chourio. It's a massive move for the Twins who decided to trade their primary leadoff man and the 2022 America…

We opened up the mailbag from Minnesota Twins fans and onlookers for Thursday's action-packed episode. Questions ranged from trade packages for Zac Gallen to the projected future for Joe Ryan. What are the keys for the 2023 Twins as they try to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2020? What are the biggest needs before Opening Day comme…

There have been plenty of rumors and reports this winter surrounding Luis Arraez's future with the Minnesota Twins. Arraez, 25, just won the American League batting title after hitting .316/.375/.420 in 144 games. Arraez is a fan favorite and a beloved figure in the clubhouse. His subtraction via trade would undoubtedly have a ripple effect on the …

The Minnesota Twins, after re-signing Carlos Correa to a six year, $200 million deal, have to get aggressive before Opening Day arrives. The Twins are currently projected for the 13th most fWAR in MLB, placing them right on the bubble of a playoff field. Every additional player could make all the difference between a playoff berth and another miss.…

The Minnesota Twins made the Carlos Correa signing official Wednesday afternoon at Target Field. Correa, donning the Twins' new home threads, gushed about his excitement to return to Minnesota. Now that the Twins have their shortstop back, it's fair to wonder what Derek Falvey and Thad Levine will do to further improve the roster before Opening Day…

Roy Smalley, LaVelle E. Neal III & Jim Souhan on the historic news and what it means. From Aquarius Home Services Studio (https://aquariushomeservices.com/)Talk North Podcast Network

BREAKING: It's over, pending physical. Per Jeff Passan of ESPN, Carlos Correa is in agreement with the Minnesota Twins on a six-year, $200 million contract with vesting/team options that could push the overall value to 10 years and $270 million. In a crazy ending to an even crazier saga, the Twins end up as the last man standing, securing their sup…

Many Minnesota Twins fans are anxiously awaiting the final word on Carlos Correa's free agent saga with the New York Mets. While we wait, I called for all things Twins questions, including an update on Correa, Alex Kirilloff's projections for 2023 and much more. The Twins have made only two free agent additions this offseason in Joey Gallo and Chri…

Do the Twins want to reenter the Correa bidding? Could Kim be his replacement? And how did Roy wind up on a TV show with Andrew Zimmern? Thanks to Aquarius Home Services (https://aquariushomeservices.com/)Talk North Podcast Network

Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported Thursday night that at least one other team is in contact with Scott Boras and Carlos Correa. Correa, still working to finalize his contract with the New York Mets, may have to make a decision in the coming days. The Twins offered 10 years and $285 million before the Mets and San Francisco Giants balked at h…

The Minnesota Twins have graduated a handful of their top prospects over the last year. Jhoan Durán, José Miranda, Josh Winder and Joe Ryan made way on the top-10 for some new faces. The Twins' system is in an interesting spot after the deadline trades of Spencer Steer, Cade Povich and Christian Encarnacion-Strand. It's a high-upside group but one …

Carlos Correa's reported 12-year, $315 million agreement with the New York Mets is still not official. Correa remains in limbo after a second club expressed concerns over his physical. The San Francisco Giants were set to announce his addition before balking and now the Mets, with their record-setting payroll, aren't so sure about it either. What's…

The Minnesota Twins had a disappointing finish to the 2022 season as the Cleveland Guardians dominated the head-to-head series, leaving the Twins in the dust at third place in the American League Central. It's easy to forget the breakouts from José Miranda, Griffin Jax and even Luis Arraez, who produced at a career-high level on route to the battin…

Yesterday I presented three Minnesota Twins I like for the 2023 season. The list factored in prospect pedigree, 2022 performance and career norms. Griffin Jax, Jorge Polanco and Tyler Mahle all made the cut, with others knocking at the door. On today's show, I highlight three Twins I am not as high on for 2023. Given the above factors and expectati…

The Minnesota Twins are coming off a disappointing finish in a 78-84 campaign that saw them finish third in the American League Central. Within that, there were numerous key injuries that hampered them down the stretch, including both Tyler Mahle (shoulder) and Jorge Polanco (knee). Even in such a sad finish, the Twins had multiple breakouts throug…

The Minnesota Twins have yet to make a significant addition for their lineup. Carlos Correa's situation with the New York Mets remains in limbo but the Twins must proceed forward with the assumption that he won't be back. In that case, they lost their OPS+ leader from a team that lost 84 games. They need help in the lineup. With free agent options …

LaVelle E. Neal III & Jim Souhan on the Twins' moves, potential moves, non-moves, and the future. Thanks to Corona (https://www.coronausa.com)Talk North Podcast Network

After word leaked that the San Francisco Giants were in need of more information following Carlos Correa's physical, super-agent Scott Boras made a move. Boras contacted both the Minnesota Twins and New York Mets to gauge their interest in getting a seat back at the table. The Twins were unwilling to increase their 10-year, $285 million offer while…

The Minnesota Twins have made a few prominent additions in free agency: first with catcher Christian Vázquez and then with Joey Gallo, but those two moves leave a lot to be desired. The Twins missed on every other top player and now sit looking at a picked over free agency board. Enter: Jurickson Profar, the best remaining free agent and perhaps th…

The Minnesota Twins, after losing out on Carlos Correa, Carlos Rodón, Willson Contreras and a plethora of other free agents, recently inked outfielder Joey Gallo to a one-year, $11 million contract. It's a curious move for a team with an evident glut in left-handed corner bats. Gallo is coming off a very poor season with the Yankees and Dodgers and…

The Carlos Correa sweepstakes ended late Tuesday night as the superstar shortstop inked a record 13-year, $350 million deal with the San Francisco Giants. Correa signed the second largest free agent contract in MLB history, behind only Aaron Judge who signed for $360 million earlier this offseason. The Twins' main priority has been to retain their …

The Minnesota Twins, in a twist of good fortune, jumped eight spots and secured the fifth overall pick in the 2023 Draft. In MLB's first draft lottery, the Twins received a higher pick than the Oakland Athletics even though the A's won 18 less games in 2022. What does this mean for the Twins and the farm system? Will this impact how the Twins opera…

Access Twins scribe Brandon Warne is back on Locked On Twins to discuss the Minnesota Twins' winter. The Twins are actively pursuing Carlos Correa and perhaps a trade for a starting pitcher. Would Warne rather trade Luis Arraez or Jorge Polanco for a frontline starter? Plus, thoughts on the Twins' future and players to watch as we near the holidays…

The Minnesota Twins, playing with some sharks in the ocean during the Carlos Correa sweepstakes, may get a resolution soon. Or maybe not. What does TwinsDaily writer and owner Nick Nelson think of Correa re-joining the Twins? Plus, an interesting note on another prominent free agent and Boras client Brandon Nimmo. 2023 breakout picks, future outloo…

The Minnesota Twins didn't sign any Major League free agents over the last two days but plenty of rumors and reports came flooding out of San Diego. The Twins remain interested in retaining Carlos Correa on a long-term deal, have offered a contract to catcher Christian Vázquez and met with Dansby Swanson in case they miss out on the big fish. Let's…

The Winter Meetings are in full swing as rumors and reports come flying out of San Diego. The Twins are very much involved as Carlos Correa remains their No. 1 target. In a surprising development, Dan Hayes reported Monday that the Twins are "open" to trading Luis Arraez for impact starting pitching. Let's break down everything going on in San Dieg…

The Minnesota Twins certainly have quantity when it comes to starting pitching for the 2023 season. Sonny Gray, Tyler Mahle, Joe Ryan, Kenta Maeda and Bailey Ober round out what should be a deeper group with Simeon Woods Richardson, Josh Winder and Louie Varland ready to step in when needed. The Twins still lack power at the top, which is why these…

The Minnesota Twins have work to do before they can field their team on Opening Day in 2023. They need to add talent to a group that won only 78 games in 2022 WITH Carlos Correa in tow. The offseason is likely to heat up this week at the Winter Meetings in San Diego. What can we expect from the Twins as the pressure cooker turns up on Correa's mark…

Roy Smalley, LaVelle E. Neal III & Jim Souhanon Joe Pohlad's ascension and Twins' ownership. Plus, more uniform talk. Thanks to Corona (https://www.coronausa.com)Talk North Podcast Network

The Minnesota Twins front office often makes surprising decisions every offseason. Following the 2019 season, the club traded away top pitching prospect Brusdar Graterol for Kenta Maeda. After the Covid season, they brought in Alexander Colomé, whose advanced numbers showed cause for concern. Following the lockout, Carlos Correa became a Twin and t…

The Minnesota Twins could use another quality right-handed bat in the outfield. Byron Buxton is a powerful force when healthy and in the lineup, but the Twins need insurance and a right-handed bopper in addition. Luckily, there's a free agent who makes perfect sense for the Twins this offseason. Let's break down Mitch Haniger's game and compare it …
