One of the more interesting categories focused on which farm systems are the most underrated.

While they've made headlines in the coaching and ownership departments, the only notable addition to their roster to this point is first baseman Josh Bell. However, since the public up...5423Mon, 12 Jan 2026 21:36:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/why-minnesota-twins-should-re-sign-willi-castro-to-round-out-positional-group-r5420/Over three months into the offseason, the Minnesota Twins have been mildly active on the position player front, trading for Alex Jackson to succeed Christian Vázquez as backup catcher; signing switch-hitting veteran Josh Bell to become the primary first baseman and/or DH; and acquiring Ryan Krei...5420Mon, 12 Jan 2026 17:13:10 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/minnesota-twins-hire-michael-a-taylor-as-outfield-instructor-r5421/Derek Shelton continues to put his own touch on the Minnesota Twins' coaching staff. Since he's taken the role of manager, Shelton has named a new hitting coach, bench coach, bullpen coach, first base coach, and field coordinator.

The holidays are gone, the roster is mostly settled (whether you like it or not), and spring training is still far enough away to feel theoretical. Yet, every year, the same emotional journey unfolds between the first offseason...5415Mon, 12 Jan 2026 15:03:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/twins-daily/reviewing-the-twins-organizational-talent-landscape-entering-2026-r5410/Last week, I gradually rolled out my ranking of the top 20 player assets in the Twins organization heading into the new year. The purpose of this annual exercise is to try and blend the big-picture view with the the short term.
