Latest news and updates about the Twins
It looks like the Twins will be paying up to pry 6’5” RHP Ethan Wachsmann away from Wake Forest. It’s the first high school player drafted by Minnesota this year, and it will be a fun development project to watch. He is ranked 87th on the MLB Pipeline board and 54th on the Fangraphs board, […]
The Twins go with a college arm in the competitive balance section of the 2nd round in righty Brett Renfrow. He is ranked just outside the top 100 on both MLB Pipeline and Fangraphs. It is likely an under slot deal, but the type of pitcher that the Twins system has been severely lacking this […]
The Minnesota Twins and Miami Marlins were among the 2026 MLB Draft’s early winners, at least on paper.
The Twins continue to build up a deep pipeline of catching prospects, selecting Texas backstop Carson Tinney in the 2nd round. He is the 73rd ranked draft prospect according to MLB Pipeline and 58th on Fangraphs. While Tinney has a big arm and a solid chance to stick at catcher, its the monstrous power that […]
The Minnesota Twins selected Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey with the third overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft.
After weeks of mock drafts sending Vahn Lackey to Minnesota, there are no surprises on draft day. Expect his signing bonus to end up close to the $9.74 million slot value. The right-handed catcher from Georgia Tech is the first catcher the Twins have selected in the first round since Joe Mauer and is well-regarded […]
The Twins used the No. 3 overall draft pick on Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey, continuing the Yellow Jackets' "Catcher U" reputation. The post Minnesota Twins Draft Catcher Vahn Lackey No. 3 Overall appeared first on College Baseball, MLB Draft, Prospects - Baseball America .
The Twins claimed right-hander Jack Anderson off Boston’s waiver wire, as initially reported by 7 News’ Ari Alexander. Minnesota has officially announced the claim, as well as the corresponding 40-man roster move of shifting Anthony Banda from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL. (Banda recently underwent a lat surgery that will sidelined the […]

The 2026 Boston Red Sox are somehow just 1.5 games out of a playoff spot entering the final two games before the All-Star break. Just three teams sit ahead of them in between the final wild card spot with the Toronto Blue Jays, the Houston Astros and the Minnesota Twins. That field has shrunk in […]
Many Minnesota Twins fans returning to check in on their resurgent team may have been treated to their first look at Cleveland Guardians closer Cade Smith. The AL saves leader and 2026 All-Star pitched a perfect 8th inning on Wednesday night.
One of the most intriguing players heading into the trade deadline made his long-awaited return to the lineup on Friday. Catcher Ryan Jeffers was back behind the plate for the Twins after missing nearly two months with a fractured hamate bone. The backstop needed just five rehab games to get up to speed. Jeffers will […]
You can read the dek, can’t you? If you can’t, well, an unfortunate series of events led to the Twins falling behind, and they just didn’t get the hits you’d hope for later. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: A scoreless first inning, but 24 pitches for Zebulon Matthews. He averages just a tick above six innings pitched […]
The Jays traded away Tommy Nance (and $250,000 in international signing bonus money) to the Twins for Catcher/Infielder Ryan Sprock (he’s assigned to Vancouver). FanGraphs had him at #31 on their Top Prospect list. They must see something in Sprock. He has a .297/.427/.428 in 67 games at A ball. Also Braydon Fisher has activated […]

4:15pm: Both clubs have now announced the trade. The Twins transferred right-hander Mick Abel to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man spot. He first landed on the 15-day IL April 17, so he has already been out more than 60 days. That makes him eligible for reinstatement at any time. He underwent arthroscopic […]
In recent years, particularly last season, whenever the Toronto Blue Jays and Minnesota Twins complete a trade, it's the Jays who are the buyers and the Twins who are the sellers. But in a one-for-one deal on Friday, it appears at first glance to be the reverse. It's the Twins who are bolstering their bullpen by acquiring right-hander Tommy Nance and his 3.22 ERA over the last three years. The Minnesota Twins have acquired RHP Tommy Nance from the Blue Jays.

Minneapolis – The Minnesota Twins find themselves in a good position with just three games remaining before the trade deadline. They have a 46-48 record, and in any normal season, two games below .500 before the break isn’t all that glamorous. However, the American League is 185-233 against the National League throughout the year in Internleague play.
Talking to the Twins' owner about the trade deadline, Byron Buxton, attendance, payroll, Jeremy Zoll, Derek Shelton, and why everything comes back to winning.
The Minnesota Twins are activating Ryan Jeffers from the injured list and have optioned Kyler Fedko to Triple-A.
Aaron and John talk about the Twins playing their best heading into the All-Star break, Byron Buxton going on the injured list, Bailey Ober and Ryan Jeffers returning from the IL, Luke Keaschall shifting to center field, and Taj Bradley getting back on track.
After the Total System Failure (TM) of May 2016, the Minnesota Twins stabilized a bit in the W/L columns. From June through July, the team went 25-28. Disappointing for most squads–a miracle for this ’16 unit. Alas, this did not stop further embarrassments from transpiring as the campaign slogged on. Sano is Right–but also wrong […]
When the Jays dumped Trevor Richards on the Twins at the 2024 deadline, the return was an infielder who’d signed a way under slot deal in the sixth round of the previous year’s draft out of the decided non-baseball hotbed of Penn State University by the name of Jay Harry. Baseball America ranked him 426th […]
Minneapolis – After a solid 11 games in right field, the Minnesota Twins are moving Luke Keaschall around the diamond again, this time to center field. Keaschall has some experience at the position from his first full year of pro ball in 2024, appearing in 16 games with the Cedar Rapids Kernels and Wichita Wind Surge.
The Minnesota Twins were looking to sweep the Cleveland Guardians out of Minneapolis today. Doing so meant pulling alongside the Spiders for second place in the American League Central, getting back to .500 for the first time since mid-April, and extending their winning streak to five games. It was pretty quiet for the first four-plus […]
