Locked On Twins - Daily Podcast On The Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins, after re-signing Carlos Correa to a six year, $200 million deal, have to get aggressive before Opening Day arrives. The Twins are currently projected for the 13th most fWAR in MLB, placing them right on the bubble of a playoff field. Every additional player could make all the difference between a playoff berth and another miss. Where are the Twins weakest and who could fix it via trade? Let's break six names in one specific area of need, a right-handed bopper in a corner.

The Minnesota Twins made the Carlos Correa signing official Wednesday afternoon at Target Field. Correa, donning the Twins' new home threads, gushed about his excitement to return to Minnesota. Now that the Twins have their shortstop back, it's fair to wonder what Derek Falvey and Thad Levine will do to further improve the roster before Opening Day. Many Twins fans' first thought is of a frontline starting pitcher. The Twins haven't had a true ace since Johan Santana; what better time than now? Well, they're tough to find. Perhaps a more plausible path is finding wins in the form of other players at different positions. Would Trey Mancini, Andrew McCutchen or Adam Duvall help complete the roster? Let's dive into all the options!

BREAKING: It's over, pending physical. Per Jeff Passan of ESPN, Carlos Correa is in agreement with the Minnesota Twins on a six-year, $200 million contract with vesting/team options that could push the overall value to 10 years and $270 million. In a crazy ending to an even crazier saga, the Twins end up as the last man standing, securing their superstar shortstop.

This deal is pending a physical but reports indicate the Twins are comfortable enough with Correa's surgically-repaired right ankle to guarantee him the most money in franchise history. The final offer from the New York Mets was for six years and $157.5M but with the condition of passing a yearly physical. Correa and super agent Scott Boras balked at those demands, instead agreeing to a historic deal with the Twins. Let's break this thing down from all angles!

Many Minnesota Twins fans are anxiously awaiting the final word on Carlos Correa's free agent saga with the New York Mets. While we wait, I called for all things Twins questions, including an update on Correa, Alex Kirilloff's projections for 2023 and much more.

The Twins have made only two free agent additions this offseason in Joey Gallo and Christian Vázquez. Could there be more on the way in the forms of Andrew McCutchen, Michael Wacha or Michael Fulmer? Listen to find out my take on that and the trade market. Thanks for your questions!

Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported Thursday night that at least one other team is in contact with Scott Boras and Carlos Correa. Correa, still working to finalize his contract with the New York Mets, may have to make a decision in the coming days. The Twins offered 10 years and $285 million before the Mets and San Francisco Giants balked at his physical. Would they offer that contract again? Likely not without an understanding of his medicals. Matt Braun of TwinsDaily joins to discuss the latest on Correa, his offseason grade for the Twins and more!

The Minnesota Twins have graduated a handful of their top prospects over the last year. Jhoan Durán, José Miranda, Josh Winder and Joe Ryan made way on the top-10 for some new faces.

The Twins' system is in an interesting spot after the deadline trades of Spencer Steer, Cade Povich and Christian Encarnacion-Strand. It's a high-upside group but one with many question marks. Let's rank the top 10 as we get prepped for the 2023 Twins season!

Carlos Correa's reported 12-year, $315 million agreement with the New York Mets is still not official. Correa remains in limbo after a second club expressed concerns over his physical. The San Francisco Giants were set to announce his addition before balking and now the Mets, with their record-setting payroll, aren't so sure about it either. What's the latest?

The Minnesota Twins have reportedly expressed interest in free agent right-hander Michael Wacha, according to Aaron Gleeman and Dan Hayes of The Athletic. What does this mean for the rotation and the Twins' plans for the rest of the offseason?

The Minnesota Twins had a disappointing finish to the 2022 season as the Cleveland Guardians dominated the head-to-head series, leaving the Twins in the dust at third place in the American League Central. It's easy to forget the breakouts from José Miranda, Griffin Jax and even Luis Arraez, who produced at a career-high level on route to the batting title and All-Star Game. There are many choices for 2023 breakouts but I've narrowed it down to my three favorites. Let me know your thoughts in the comments or on Twitter @NashWalker9 and @LockedOnTwins. Happy New Year!

Yesterday I presented three Minnesota Twins I like for the 2023 season. The list factored in prospect pedigree, 2022 performance and career norms. Griffin Jax, Jorge Polanco and Tyler Mahle all made the cut, with others knocking at the door. On today's show, I highlight three Twins I am not as high on for 2023. Given the above factors and expectations, I made these selections without much satisfaction. I hope I'm dead wrong about all three!

The Minnesota Twins are coming off a disappointing finish in a 78-84 campaign that saw them finish third in the American League Central. Within that, there were numerous key injuries that hampered them down the stretch, including both Tyler Mahle (shoulder) and Jorge Polanco (knee). Even in such a sad finish, the Twins had multiple breakouts throughout the course of the season. Griffin Jax had a really nice year next to Jhoan Durán in the bullpen while José Miranda and Nick Gordon each thrived at the plate. Who are three Twins I like for the 2023 season? Let's dive in.
