The past two Octobers have found the Minnesota Twins playing in the American League playoffs, winners of the AL Central Division title.
If the Twins are to secure a three-peat in the Central in 2011, good health will need to be on their side. Injuries nearly derailed their title drive a season ago, and a healthy season would help bolster the Twins’ chances. (Read More…)

The Minnesota Twins have turned down several offers from the New York Yankees for pitcher Francisco Liriano.
Liriano is considered the ace of the staff and the club believes he will finally show his best stuff again this year.
They believe he has completely recovered from his previous Tommy John surgery and is set to be a dominant pitcher.
The Twins apparently aren’t looking to deal Liriano, but could potentially be talked into doing so. (Read More…)

The Minnesota Twins have re-signed designated hitter Jim Thome to a one-year contract worth $3 million.
Thome’s career appeared to be over following the 2009 season, but he joined the Twins and played well in 2010.
He did not attract much interest on the free agent market given his age, injury history and inability to play the field.
He hit .283 with 25 home runs in just 340 plate appearances last year, making him a real bargain. (Read More…)

The Minnesota Twins have re-signed pitcher Carl Pavano to a two-year contract worth $16.5 million.
It’s somewhat surprising it took this long for Pavano to be signed by a team considering how well he pitched last year.
The Yankees had some interest in Pavano, but weren’t willing to give up a top draft pick if they signed him.
They hoped to work out a sign and trade with the Twins, but Minnesota was not interested in such a deal. (Read More…)

The Minnesota Twins have signed shortstop Tsuyhoshi Nishioka to a three-year contract worth $10 million.
The Twins already had to win a bidding war for Nishioka just to have the right to negotiate with him.
Nishioka can play both shortstop and second base, and the Twins have openings at both positions.
The team recently traded shortstop J.J. Hardy to the Baltimore Orioles, and it looks like Nishioka will end up there. (Read More…)

Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire finally won the American League Manager of the Year award.
Gardenhire has so often found himself as the runner-up in the voting while managing the small-market Twins.
In total, Gardenhire has finished in second place in the voting for the manager’s award five different times.
He said he has an outstanding coaching staff and that the reward is reflective of the work they have done. (Read More…)

The New York Yankees made quick work of the Minnesota Twins, putting them away in just three games.
New York wrapped up the series at home, which continues their recent postseason dominance over Minnesota.
The Yankees now advance to the American League Championship series where they will face the Texas Rangers.
The Yankees do not have homefield advantage in the series, but that matters very little when it comes to baseball. (Read More…)

The Minnesota Twins have clinched the American League Central division title with nearly two weeks left to play.
The Twins were able to get the job done despite missing first baseman Justin Morneau for a big chunk of the year.
A victory over Cleveland combined with a Chicago White Sox loss clinched the division, causing a big celebration in the clubhouse.
It also means that the Twins will be division champs in their very first year at the new Target Field. (Read More…)

In the short-term view of things, the Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers are moving in opposite directions.
But baseball rewards the full body of work across 162 games across six months, and in putting their 2010 campaigns together, the Twins and Rangers both look headed to the postseason. (Read More…)

Minnesota Twins pitcher Kevin Slowey had thrown seven no-hit innings against the Oakland Athletics.
Manager Ron Gardenhire made the ever unpopular decision of removing Slowey from the game and allowing his bullpen to polish off the victory.
Gardenhire said he understood the booing from the home crowd and would have done the same thing himself.
However, he noted that he would have made the same decision 1,000 times considering all the facts. (Read More…)
