Owner Tom Pohlad was so clear on that imperative that he was willing to lose president of baseball operations Derek Falvey over it. That makes the situation...6536Mon, 02 Mar 2026 15:20:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/twins-daily-2026-top-prospects-10-charlee-soto-rhp-r6531/There's a lot of risk involved using high draft picks on prep pitchers, which is why it's not something the Minnesota Twins often do. They made an exception in 2023 with Charlee Soto, selecting him as a 17-year-old out of Reborn Christian Academy in Florida with the 34th overall pick and signing...6531Mon, 02 Mar 2026 12:25:56 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/former-twins-top-draft-pick-sentenced-to-life-in-jail-r6525/On Friday, former MLB pitcher Dan Serafini received a sentence of life in jail.

It meant that Buxton and the team were trying to figure out some way (usually, futilely) to keep him healthy.  This spring, Buxton has already been the designated hitter twice, including...6514Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:47:00 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/inside-the-twins-pitching-pipeline-part-2-r6507/Depth is something every organization tries to create, and it goes well beyond what we see at Target Field or in St. Paul.
