Mick Abel is carving at Triple-A for #MNTwins. Scouts see a mid-rotation starter. His stuff hints at a No. 2 if his sweeper continues to trend up. ✅Whiff rates & stuff = plus ✅sharp fastball/curve/changeup mix ✅developing sweeper (100% whiff rate on 8/16)

Buxton. First pitch. GONE! Byron Buxton's 25th home run of the season lands in the 2nd deck. Another loud swing. When healthy, Buxton plays baseball on easy mode. #MNTwins

BROOKS LEE - GRAND SLAM! Lee just gave the #MNTwins their first grand slam of the season - and it came against his good friend & former teammate Chris Paddack. Baseball writes the best scripts.

James Outman showing off his wheels! First career #MNTwins hit for Outman = a triple to the warning track. Safe bet he’s penciled into left field when Opening Day 2026 rolls around.

Sadly, this April 16th take was proven true. Smoke & mirrors by the Pohlads. This was never about a sale. It was always about Joe Pohlad keeping control of the #MNTwins.

Every fan wants one thing: watch their team easily. MLB’s answer? Carve the sport into pieces, shove each piece behind a different paywall, & hope fans keep up. Splitting products across platforms forces fans to pay more for less. That’s not growth - it alienates long-term.

Pablo López is everything you want in a frontline starter and a franchise face. Before tonight’s game he was out greeting fans at the gates, signing, taking pictures, making memories. Pure class. #MNTwins

The #MNTwins are now very likely to block Pablo López from pitching in the 2026 WBC in March 2026. MLB rules: if a player spends 60+ days on the IL (15+ in the final 60 days), their team can block them from playing. He would have had to return before August 12. López hasn’t

One can only wonder how many more runs the #MNTwins could score if they had a running game of any kind. Buxton doesn't even attempt a SB, even with a runner at 3B. Sure enough, Buxton is doubled-up at 2B, & the would-be tying run doesn't count. Some things just never change.

Luke Keaschall just sliced an inside-out swing into the gap. His 7th double in only 22 games. His OPS? A smooth .943. 🔥 No big deal for Keaschall. He's not slowing down one bit. His speed is ridiculous. #MNTwins

EFFORTLESS. Some guys hustle. Luke Keaschall just flows. Only the 2nd time a #MNTwins player has stolen third base this season. Keaschall makes it look easy.

James Outman already has 2 doubles tonight (in 2 AB). In just 3 games with the #MNTwins: ✅triple ✅2 doubles ✅average jumped from .093 → .143. Fun start for him in Minnesota. Could be an extra-bases beast if he is more selective at the plate.
