Twins Daily Podcast

It's getting late early for struggling Twins players. Nick and Lou recap a week that saw Matt Wallner demoted to the minors, with others potentially in tow. But on the bright side, Minnesota's rotation continues to (mostly) excel, and the team is maintaining relevance in a middle-heavy American League landscape.

In our weekly recap of Twins baseball, Nick and Lou discuss a very fun stretch that saw the team go 6-1 with contributions coming from all corners. Among the topics reviewed: Brooks Lee's breakout, Taj Bradley's continued growth, and Tristan Gray's opportunity to make a statement. Also: what to do with James Outman?

The Twins got walked all over by the Yankees and Guardians, as usual, closing out their home schedule with a couple more series losses against better and more highly motivated opponents. Nick unpacks the discouraging strugglges of the starting rotation and previews the final week of action in 2025.

When the games stop mattering and the losses are all but inevitable, you look for positivity and things to celebrate where you can find them. Nick seeks solace in Mickey Gasper's magical moment, plus strong performances from Byron Buxton, Austin Martin and Kody Funderburk.

The Twins flopped at Yankee Stadium once again. They dropped 5 of 7 games with a carousel of no-name minor-league journeymen rotating on the mound. The Pohlads announced they are keeping the team, further inflaming an already demoralized fanbase. Other than that, it was a great week for the Twins, and Nick recaps all the cheerful news in our latest episode.

The Twins sold off nearly half of their roster in a shocking deadline purge that seemed more focused on unloading salary commitments than adding amazing prospects. In this edition of TD's weekly recap, Nick recaps all of the many moves and pulls no punches in his assessment of the overall strategy.

An emphatic return to form for Royce Lewis bodes well in the big picture, but the Twins dropped two more series last week in spite of it, leaving themselves in a clear seller position as the trade deadline bears down. Nick recaps another frustrating stretch of baseball and previews what to expect from deadline week.

As they arrive at the break, the Twins are playing their best ball in some time, overcoming quality opponents with their two top players showing out and ready to rep Minnesota at the All-Star Game. Nick recaps the final week of the first half, and provides updates on the approaching returns of Zebby Matthews and Bailey Ober.

The Minnesota Twins hadn't won consecutive games in three weeks before taking three in a row against quality opponents behind the type of lights-out pitching that had gone amiss in the month of June. The Twins still have their share of issues to sort through, including a broken Bailey Ober, but they're emerging from the abyss. Nick breaks down everything you need to know from the past seven days of Twins baseball.

The starting rotation imploded, Royce Lewis got hurt again, and the Twins were overwhelmed in a run of blowouts and walk-off losses that dragged them back toward .500 and raised fresh doubts about this team's true staying power. Nick recaps the action, including curious roster decisions, a new bullpen addition, and a continually disappointing Carlos Correa.

The Twins lost two series on the road but that doesn't tell the whole story of their week – they played plenty of entertaining, exciting and encouraging baseball while welcoming back two crucial power bats from the injured list. Nick recaps all the biggest news, including emphatic returns from Byron Buxton and Matt Wallner.

The Twins lost their two biggest stars to concussions but ran their winning streak to 13 in another week of dominant pitching that sets them up for a key divisional home stand. Nick gives the latest on Buxton and Correa, remarks on the rise of Kody Clemens, and laments this never-ending stream of injuries.

Last September, Fenway Park and Progressive Field were houses of horrors for the Minnesota Twins. This past week brought plenty more of the same, but ended on a positive. Nick recaps the ups and downs from a 3-4 road trip, gives updates on the returns of Royce Lewis and Willi Castro, and ponders the Twins' deadline strategy if things don't improve.
