Twins News

The Twins officially waved goodbye to postseason hopes on Sunday, and now the aftermath is unfolding rapidly. In a move that feels more about clearing house than planning for the future, Minnesota designated catcher Alex Jackson for assignment, paving the way for first baseman Aaron Sabato, whose long-awaited call-up brings a glimmer of hope amid a season gone awry. Sabato, after a record-breaking stint at Triple-A, joins a roster in disarray, with Byron Buxton likely out for the season, further testing the Twins' depth. Last night’s lackluster 5-2 loss to the Giants demonstrates the struggles of the squad, as Zebby Matthews faltered on the mound, a stark contrast to his prior brilliance against the Yankees. As the Twins look toward next year, the front office must reckon with the weight of regret over choices made, not least the fate of Matt Wallner.

Giants 5, Twins 2: Sleepy baseball
Well, after making fun of the makeup of the Giants’ current roster in my game thread, it’s only fitting that the Twins blew this one. That’s baseball for you. Zebby Matthews was on the mound for the Twins and was less sharp after a silencing the Yankees his last time out. It was a rough […]
