FORT MYERS, Fla. -- A baseball lifer, LaTroy Hawkins had already held a wide range of roles over his more than 30 years in professional baseball -- player, front-office adviser and broadcaster foremost among them. He’s taking on a new one this year, though, as the Twins’ bullpen coach. He’s

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Twins ace Pablo López has “significant tearing” in the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and will likely require Tommy John reconstructive surgery, the club said Tuesday.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Tom Pohlad is aware of the conventional wisdom regarding the 2026 Twins. He doesn’t buy it. When Pohlad took over from his brother Joe as the Twins’ primary owner, he said he expected to be aggressive in adding talent to the roster. Minnesota has added several

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Liam Hendriks won Comeback Player of the Year honors in 2023, but even so, he still feels he’s never come all the way back to the form he displayed as a three-time All-Star. He’s hopeful that he gets there with the Twins. The mountain to climb,

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Manager Derek Shelton opened his first Twins camp Thursday with an emphasis on attention to detail and an awareness that his challenges begin immediately.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- In a move that almost made too much sense not to happen, the Twins acquired left-hander Anthony Banda from the Dodgers for international bonus pool money on Thursday.

MINNEAPOLIS – Jeremy Zoll’s title is the same today as it was a week ago. His responsibilities, on the other hand, look a little different.
