Minnesota Twins acquire Gold Glove Center Fielder Michael A. Taylor from the Royals as a viable backup to Byron Buxton; What's next move for the Twins after shaking things up.

The Minnesota Twins made another trade Monday, acquiring CF Michael A. Taylor from the Kansas City Royals for relief prospects Steven Cruz and Evan Sisk. The Twins have made an effort to build depth on their roster for 2023, evidenced by their trade for Pablo López. Taylor leads all outfielders in Defensive Runs Saved since 2020 and joins an outfield group with Byron Buxton, Joey Gallo and Max Kepler. This outfield looks to be a special one defensively, with four to six viable options on the grass. What does this mean for Kepler? For the Twins outlook in 2023? Would I have done this trade?

The Minnesota Twins could use another quality right-handed bat in the outfield. Byron Buxton is a powerful force when healthy and in the lineup, but the Twins need insurance and a right-handed bopper in addition. Luckily, there's a free agent who makes perfect sense for the Twins this offseason. Let's break down Mitch Haniger's game and compare it to another less-seamless fit in J.D. Martínez.

Byron Buxton made his first All-Star Game in 2022, starting in centerfield and hitting the game-winning homer for the American League. Buxton's performance with the Minnesota Twins was a curious case as he battled through knee, hip and hand injuries. Buxton hit 28 homers but struck out in 30% of his plate appearances, bringing his season average to .224. Even then, the extremely talented Buxton was a four-win player for the second year in a row. What should we make of his 2022 season and what should Twins fans expect moving forward? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

John is in London and Aaron is in Minneapolis to talk about the Twins limping to the finish line, Rocco Baldelli and Derek Falvey returning in 2023, Byron Buxton's surgery, Dave St. Peter's comments about payroll and attendance, and what, exactly, is sold at the Dior store.

Henry Lake talks with Dan Hayes from The Athletic and talks about what Twins fans should be watching the rest of the season, why Byron Buxton's surgery isn't a big concern, Rocco's future and more.

Who Minnesota Twins should be held accountable with the Twins collapse; Will Carlos Correa opt out with his value going up; Byron Buxton season basically being over.

Patrick is grabbing an oar and is rowing with the Gopher football team and thinks they can win Big Ten West; Minnesota Twins conceding the division and Byron Buxton appears to be done for the season.

DVR and Al look into the hitters who saw the largest surges and drops in their strikeout rates from 2021, and they see if those changes could make any difference in their 2023 fantasy value. Among the strikeout rate fallers discussed are Taylor Trammell, Javier Báez, Alec Bohm and Josh Rojas, while Jo Adell, Trevor Story, Matt Olson and Byron Buxton are some of the strikeout risers considered.

Introduction: The Twins had an impressive win keyed by Gio Urshela's big hit and solid work from their bullpen on Monday to pull within 1.5 games of Cleveland. On the flip side, it sounds like Byron Buxton's return is far from imminent and that he won't go with the team on its upcoming road trip to Chicago and New York. In a similar vein, Minnesota United keeps winning but suffered a key setback when it lost Bakaye Dibassy for the season. 10:00: Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly joins Michael Rand from the Star Tribune's State Fair stage to talk about the offseason deal for Rudy Gobert, big expectations and more. 29:00: NFL cutdown day is coming.

Minnesota Vikings SCOOPS on Kellen Mond and other members of the 2021 NFL Draft class being cut; Minnesota Twins scoops on Kenta Maeda, Billy Hamilton, Byron Buxton, Tyler Mahle and more scoops from Doogie on A-Rod and the Timberwolves.

Aaron and John talk about the Minnesota Twins' first extended losing streak of the season, why the lineup has vanished at the worst possible time, injury updates on Byron Buxton and Tyler Mahle, and how the new MLB schedule will probably hurt the AL Central.

The Minnesota Twins, after five straight losses and with an incredibly injured roster, are on the brink. The Twins have lost Byron Buxton to a hip strain and are having trouble scoring runs. The pitching staff is doing its best to keep games close but the lack of spark in the lineup is too much to overcome. The Twins are 62-60 and are four games behind the American League Central leading Cleveland Guardians. It's getting dire. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Introduction: Ejections were the norm during the Ron Gardenhire era, as the Twins manager either led the American League outright or tied for the league lead in ejections every year from 2006-2011. Rocco Baldelli has tended to be much more mild-mannered, but lately he has been positively Gardy-esque. On Tuesday he was ejected for the second time this month and fourth time this season after being tossed just six times combined in his first three seasons as a manager. 7:00: Star Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins joins host Michael Rand for a look at Byron Buxton and another stint on the injured list and thoughts on the Vikings' acquisition of Nick Mullens as their presumed backup quarterback. 28:00: Mullens met with the media on Tuesday and vowed to be focused on the task at hand.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand is disturbed by the latest Byron Buxton injury news on a couple of fronts. First, the fact that he had to leave Monday's game with hip soreness is a bad sign for the Twins as they try to hang around in the American League Central race. Second, if the Twins haven't been forthright about all of Buxton's injury problems this season they aren't doing anyone a favor. 9:00: Star Tribune Vikings writer Andrew Krammer joins Rand to dissect the Monday trade for quarterback Nick Mullens. Though nothing is official in the depth chart, Mullens presumably will be the No. 2 quarterback behind Kirk Cousins, ending an underwhelming camp battle between second-year QB Kellen Mond and veteran Sean Mannion. 26:00: Speaking of QBs, Tom Brady is back while Aaron Rodgers is still being himself.

The Minnesota Twins fell 2-1 in the series finale to the Texas Rangers Monday night at Target Field. Sonny Gray was solid but Byron Buxton left the game early with right hip tightness, and the Twins' lineup couldn't put together enough rallies. The Twins are 62-58 and two games back of the Cleveland Guardians in the American League Central. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Minnesota Twins, in need of a series win with the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox both taking care of business this weekend, fell entirely flat in a loss to the Angels Sunday. The Twins took a 2-0 lead on a Byron Buxton homer in the first, but never scored again. The Twins are 58-55 and 2.5 games back of the Guardians in the American League Central.

Joe Ryan gave up five earned runs on nine hits while Dodgers' starter Julio Urías spun seven great innings. Byron Buxton hit a two-run homer in the eighth, his 27th on the season. The Twins are 57-52 and are tied with the Cleveland Guardians for first place in the American League Central. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Minnesota Twins scoops on Alex Kirilloff season-ending injury; Trevor Larnch, Randy Dobnak, Byron Buxton's injury status and other Twins scoops!; Minnesota Vikings scoops from training camp, will they pursue a center and more scoops from Doogie!

The term GOAT just gets thrown around right now. The goat emoji is tagged on every highlight on social media, and every recruit is the next big thing. This “prisoner of the moment” mentality also leads us to compare eras. Some are convinced that guy wouldn't stand a chance today or that no one could ever match the dominance of a certain era. Guys like Shohei Ohtani come along in the midst of the noise and draw comparisons to players from generations ago, but there is no way to actually know. The problem with that conversation is that it can't be settled. Instead, we can look to institutions like the Hall of Fame.    The Baseball Hall of Fame looks to celebrate the greatest from across all generations. Standards like 3,000 hits or 300 wins are looked at as certain marks of excellence that lock in a player's place in Cooperstown. While we don't know where Fernando Tatis Jr.'s career is heading or what Aaron Judge's next few years will be like, our resident baseball experts Tim and Neil sit down to prognosticate the Hall of Fame classes of years to come.    Tim and Neil break the field down into five categories. They take into account a host of facts and figures. They consider where the player is in his career, lifetime stats, impact on the game, and the types of teams they played on that might have impacted their notoriety. The categories are:    The Harmon Killebrews are the first or second ballot no-brainers. The players that will be enshrined as soon as they are eligible. Guys like Albert Pujols have made such an impact on the game that they are among the greatest of all time. These names will be called as soon as they hang up their cleats.   The Joe Mauers are the future Hall of Famers with a hole or two in their resume. They might not get in right away, but their names belong with the all-time greats. They don't have the certainty of the Killebrews, but they have earned their place through the totality of their career.    The third group is the Jim Kaat tier. Jim Kaat had to wait almost 40 years from the end of his career to hear his name called this year. These are the guys whose numbers and achievements place them in that Hall of Fame category but maybe lacked that dominance or star power that made them clear-cut entries.   Then we have the Torii Hunter category. Unlike the Jim Kaats, these are players that maybe had the star power or periods of dominance but don't have the overall resume that earns them their place in Cooperstown.   Finally, the Byron Buxton tier. These are the guys who have the potential to leave their mark on the game, but it is just too early to tell. These are the players that are exciting to watch and might even be changing the way the game is played today.
