So far, they've only made moves around the edges of a roster that appears to be in for significant change. While rumors around Pablo López, Joe Ryan, and Byron Buxton swirl, I wanted to take a look at a move the Twins could make to improve t...4708Fri, 05 Dec 2025 15:05:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/fangraphs-projects-local-fan-will-regret-eating-all-those-helmet-nachos-r4704/FanGraphs pleasantly surprised some Twins fans recently, projecting the troubled squad to finish 82-80 in 2026, thanks to their (for now) sturdy rotation depth. Also surprising was an addendum to the projection, however, calling out Marcus Otto, a Twins season-ticket holder, for a litany of issu...4704Fri, 05 Dec 2025 14:07:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/what-to-make-of-the-minnesota-twins-82-win-projection-from-fangraphs-r4699/A couple weeks ago, Jake Mailhot of FanGraphs presented the site's very preliminary power rankings for the 2026 MLB season, using "an elegant ranking format that measures teams’ relative strength and is very reactive to recent performance." The idea was to provide a benchmark on where each roste...4699Fri, 05 Dec 2025 12:30:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/why-new-york-mets-may-finally-push-for-a-byron-buxton-blockbuster-trade-r4691/Byron Buxton has repeatedly stated that he would stay in the Twin Cities for the rest of his career. Now, the veteran star appears increasingly open to the idea of waiving his no-trade clause. That shift has quietly pushed the door open for teams like the New York Mets, who have been circling fo...4691Thu, 04 Dec 2025 22:08:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/mets-interested-in-trading-for-joe-ryan-r4688/The Mets are surveying the trade market for rotation upgrades and have expressed interest in Twins right-hander Joe Ryan, who remains appealing due to his affordability and remaining club control. Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that Ryan is one of several trade targets for the Mets....4688Thu, 04 Dec 2025 19:05:00 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/the-twins-need-to-stop-spending-on-and-retaining-left-handed-corner-outfielders-r4683/The Twins have had no shortage of left-handed hitting corner outfielders for years, but as they’ve continued to amass this style of player, their depth has turned into a logjam. With much of the roster in need of significant upgrades, it’s time to either look to deal from this depth chart or (at...4683Thu, 04 Dec 2025 16:41:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/will-john-klein-be-a-twins-reliever-long-term-r4677/Brooklyn Park native John Klein was the most surprising name added to the 40-man roster for the casual Twins fan. He had a breakout year in the Minors this season between the Wind Surge starting rotation and the Saints bullpen. But what is his long-term outlook for his career, and did the Twins...4677Thu, 04 Dec 2025 14:45:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/if-twins-must-play-2026-on-a-miserly-budget-they-should-blow-up-the-roster-and-build-a-super-farm-r4665/The Minnesota Twins aren't actually good, right now. They have the potential to be, if they get more from their latent talent in 2026 than they have gotten from many of the same players over the last two years, but they're not currently a competitive team. As they embark on their offseason work,...4665Wed, 03 Dec 2025 17:22:36 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/hendry-mendezs-defensive-outlook-for-2026-r4658/One of the expected names added to the 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5, Hendry Mendez is someone the Twins are banking on for the long term. But given his poor outfield defense, will he be expected to remain at a corner position, or do the Twins seem willing to try him out at first base for th...4658Wed, 03 Dec 2025 14:48:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/5-best-suitors-in-byron-buxton-trade-rumors-r4657/ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported Tuesday that Byron Buxton is willing to waive his no-trade clause. He and Kiley McDaniel rank Buxton as being the fifth-best player likely to be moved, and figure he’s got about a one-in-three chance of heading to camp wearing a new uniform. This is, naturally, not gr...4657Wed, 03 Dec 2025 14:20:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/seeds-of-doubt-how-carlos-correas-exit-pushed-byron-buxton-toward-the-door-r4652/The Twins have spent the last few seasons trying to convince the baseball world that their competitive window is still open. Their message has always depended on having their two cornerstone stars in the middle of everything. That plan took its first major hit when Carlos Correa agreed to waive...4652Wed, 03 Dec 2025 12:33:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/twins-trade-rumors-byron-buxton-joe-ryan-pablo-l%C3%B3pez-r4645/ESPN published a ranking of players who could be traded this offseason, and Minnesota Twins Byron Buxton, Joe Ryan, and Pablo López were all toward the top of the list.
