The Twins came crashing back to Earth in Chicago and Pittsburgh as key injuries struck the pitching staff and too many hitters came up empty. Nick and Lou break down a tough final week of May.

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.

Nick and Lou break down an ugly 1-5 week of Twins baseball, which included some brutal defensive showings from one of the league's worst fielding units. On the bright side, we saw exciting debuts from two of the organization's top pitching prospects in Connor Prielipp and Kendry Rojas.

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 rotation finished on a high note as the Twins crossed the 90-loss threshold and wrapped up another deeply underwhelming season, leaving their future in limbo. Nick reviews the refreshing positives but acknowledges a gloomy all-around outlook in the 2025 season's final weekly recap.

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.

Some truly unwatchable baseball was on display in a 1-6 week that saw the Twins get swept at home by the league's only team with a worse record. Not a whole lot to say at this point, but Nick still manages to yap for 15 minutes or so, finding some bright spots in the starting rotation.

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 took on a pair of last-place teams and found themselves thoroughly overmatched in a resounding demonstration of how far they've fallen. Rocky debuts from two key rotation newcomers added to the dismay. Nick digs through the wreckage of another tough week for fan morale.

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.

In the first week of their post-deadline reality, the Twins played free and easy on the way to series victories against two division rivals. Luke Keaschall's spectacular return to the lineup stole the show, but there were plenty of other interesting storylines to dissect. Nick covers everything you need to know in under 15 minutes.

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.

A rotating cast of Twins Daily contributors live-streamed the 2025 MLB trade deadline. Unbeknownst to them when they started, they were about to witness the dismantling of the Minnesota Twins in real time.

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.

The Twins needed to hit the ground running coming out of the break, but instead fell flat. As the trade deadline looms, the players are shaping their own destiny through lackluster play. Could a note of Royce Lewis optimism to close the weekend signal a turning of the tides? Nick recaps the first few games of second-half action.
