Locked On Twins - Daily Podcast On The Minnesota Twins

In a turn of events from last night, MLB has cancelled Opening Day, along with the first two series of the season. There seemed to be positive momentum in last night's meetings, but the MLBPA rejected MLB's latest offer, and now the Twins will not face the White Sox in Chicago later this month.

In a premature, unofficial, and way-too-early projection, PECOTA pegged the Minnesota Twins to finish in second place in the A.L. Central with an 84-78 record in 2022. It's an optimistic projection, to say the least, but it shows that this team is not that far from putting together a team that can reasonably compete this summer.

It's officially PECOTA season and we're diving in with a particularly rosy projection for a young Twins starter. The rotation is depleted, but the system believes Joe Ryan will post a sub-3 ERA and have a more valuable season than José Berríos, Frankie Montas, Freddy Peralta, and Lucas Giolito. We discuss what that means and why the Twins should pull the trigger on this mock trade.

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli was praised after two division-winning seasons to start his tenure. Then 2021 happened. He made poor decisions in the first half of the year, contributing to the team's elimination by May. Looking ahead, how much is he to blame for the disaster of 2021 and how does that impact his leash moving forward?

The Twins selected LHP Cade Povich with the 98th pick in the 2021 Draft, expressing clear interest in the 6-foot-3 Nebraska native. Povich struck out 19 of the 42 hitters he faced in his pro debut, and now hopes to progress further in 2022.
