Former Twins manager Ron Gardenhire, former outfielder and radio broadcaster Dan Gladden and former infielder/outfielder César Tovar will be inducted on Aug. 20 and Aug. 21 at Target Field.

The Twins will open 2022 in Chicago vs. the White Sox, with their home opener April 7 vs. Seattle, and they will have a handful of Interleague clashes against teams from the National League West.

Minnesota has reportedly agreed to deals with three of the Top 40 international prospects available: outfielder Yasser Mercedes, shortstop Yilber Herrera and shortstop Bryan Acuña.

In 2006, Justin Morneau had a crucial chat with Ron Gardenhire reminding him of his potential. After the season, he was an MVP, the signature year in the stellar career of an HOF candidate.

Tony Oliva, who won three AL batting titles, and 16-time Gold Glove winner Jim Kaat were among six elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Golden Days Era Committee.
