The MLB wild card round is complete, which leaves eight teams remaining as the AL and NL division series get underway on Saturday in Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Seattle, and Toronto.
Earlier this week, I did a little make-do with the 2025 Minnesota Twins season—recalling my ballpark exploits regardless of wins and losses. Baseball is a unique sport that way.
Welcome back to part two: the National League. Some stronger Twins connections and overall enjoyment from watching the team led to some higher scores this time around.
Do the Twins have all the right pieces, as executive chair Joe Pohlad said recently? “I’m trying to get my head out of all the negativity,” Pohlad told the Minnesota Star Tribune as the 2025 Twins' season came to an end, with the team firing manager Rocco Baldelli 24 hours after the final game.
Byron Buxton just had one of the best seasons of his career, setting career-highs in homers (35), triples (7), hits (129), RBI (83), runs (97), and walks (41).
If it wasn't obvious already, Twins president of baseball operations Derek Falvey made it abundantly clear on Tuesday that Rocco Baldelli was the fall guy after a 70-92 season that saw Minnesota miss the playoffs for the fourth time in the past five years.
The Minnesota Twins have missed the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five seasons after their latest and greatest collapse. The good news is that
Sometimes in baseball, being the fall guy comes with the territory. And Monday afternoon, Rocco Baldelli found himself on the wrong end of that harsh reality when the Minnesota Twins showed him the door after seven seasons at the helm.
If the Minnesota Twins want to reinvigorate an apathetic fan base, hiring Torii Hunter or Justin Morneau as the next manager is one way to do it. Hunter nor Morneau have managed at the minor league or MLB level.
During the 2025 MLB season, I attended 29 live contests—all featuring YOUR Minnesota Twins (for better or for worse—heavy on the latter). Twenty-three at 1 Twins Way and six more at various away locales.
The Minnesota Twins’ managerial search took a sharp turn toward nostalgia Monday when former third baseman Trevor Plouffe made his pick — or rather, picks — for who should replace recently fired manager Rocco Baldelli.
The Pohlad family decided to maintain its controlling stake in the Minnesota Twins when new investors emerged and gave the club a chance to pay down a significant amount of the team’s $500M debt.
As the season winds down for the Minnesota Twins, there is no doubt that it will end up being a disappointing one, given the team’s expectations of reaching the postseason.
Byron Buxton hit two home runs and drove in all four runs to back Bailey Ober's splendid start as the Minnesota Twins defeated the Texas Rangers 4-0 on Thursday afternoon in the rubber game of a three-game series in Arlington, Texas.
The Minnesota Twins put second baseman Luke Keaschall on the 10-day injured list on Thursday, ending the rookie's season. Keaschall sustained a left thumb sprain while sliding into second base in Tuesday's 4-1 win against the host Texas Rangers.
The Houston Astros needed every bit of Carlos Correa's milestone home run on Wednesday. In a game the Astros edged out the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2, Correa reached a new round number for career home runs.
In what has been a season full of despair, Luke Keaschall has certainly been a bright spot in the Twin Cities. The rookie infielder debuted this season in April before getting injured and returning in August.
