Locked On Twins - Daily Podcast On The Minnesota Twins

The Twins made their first moves of the offseason this week, first declining the $5 million option on Sergio Romo and then claiming Brandon Waddell and Ian Gibaut off waivers. The righty Gibaut has an electric fastball/slider combo and the lefty Waddell has a pretty good slider, too. These moves come close to a year after the Twins claimed Matt Wisler off waivers. Wisler went on to post a 1.07 ERA in 2020.

Byron Buxton saved 11 runs in centerfield, the most in baseball. He did this on a bad foot and with a healing shoulder. Buxton continues to dazzle defensively and pairs it with an OPS+ of 117 since 2019. Kenta Maeda impressed in the field with his athleticism and gets a knod as he looks for the Gold Glove himself.

The Rays defeated the Dodgers 6-4 in game two of the World Series to even the score at one a piece. Game three will send Charlie Morton and Walker Buehler to the mound Friday.

Clayton Kershaw was dominant in an 8-3 game one victory for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Mookie Betts was fantastic and the Dodgers made a statement. Tonight will send Tony Gonsolin to the hill against Rays lefty Blake Snell.
