    The best Twins and Senators Silver Slugger season of every decade (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Silver Slugger Award has only existed since 1980, honoring the best offensive player at each position in both leagues. Winners are selected by MLB managers and coaches, who consider offensive statistics and a player's overall offensive value and cannot vote for players on their own teams. That positional component is important. A Silver Slugger isn't simply one of the best hitters in the league; he's being judged against the other players at his position. The Twins franchise, of course, goes

    One bizarre split helps explain why the Twins are still below .500 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Minnesota Twins have spent much of the 2026 season hovering somewhere between contender and disappointment. They've shown enough offense to keep things interesting and enough flashes of good baseball to make the fact that they're still below .500 that much more frustrating. But one bizarre home-road split goes a long way toward explaining how they got here. Normally, when a team struggles badly on the road, the offense is an easy place to start looking. Except the Twins' offense has traveled

    Is this still Byron Buxton's Twins team, or are we seeing a changing of the guard? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For the better part of a decade, Byron Buxton has been considered the frontman for the Minnesota Twins. Through rebuilds, postseason runs, injuries, managerial changes and seemingly endless roster turnover, Buxton remained the constant. When healthy, he could do things few other players in baseball could do. He became an All-Star, one of the game's premier defensive center fielders and ultimately the face of the franchise. For the first half of 2026, that still felt unquestionably true, but some

    Twins' Walker Jenkins promotion could be the shot in the arm Minnesota desperately needs (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A disastrous West Coast road trip turned what had been a legitimate playoff position into an increasingly precarious one. Minnesota entered the trip tied for the final American League Wild Card spot, only to get swept by the San Diego Padres and then drop two of three to an Athletics team near the bottom of the standings. The result is a Twins team that suddenly finds itself running out of both games and margin for error. Minnesota enters Friday at 64-70, six games under .500 and 6.5 games behin

    Field of Dreams broadcast makes bizarre claim about Twins ownership (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Minnesota Twins finally got their chance to play at the Field of Dreams, and Major League Baseball did just about everything it could to make the night feel special. Unfortunately, the Twins forgot to bring much of anything to the actual game. Minnesota fell 7-1 to the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night in Dyersville, Iowa, turning what was supposed to be one of the most memorable games of the season into a largely forgettable performance. The Twins struck out 12 times, went 0-for-5 wit
