Manager Ron Gardenhire gave Sid a mini-scoop yesteraday:
Ron Gardenhire is excited about the acquisition of shortstop J.J. Hardy from Milwaukee for Carlos Gomez, but the Twins manager said he has encouraged General Manager Billy Smith to also bring back free-agent infielder Orlando Cabrera, who hit over .300 in the last part of the season.
“Gomez, I […]

The Twins made a big splash to start the offseason by trading GoGo to the Brewers for shortstop J.J. Hardy. It’s a great trade for the Twins because they dealt from arguably their only position of surplus — they have young OFs in the minor league system and enough MLB starters to field a strong […]

This morning Howard Sinker dropped the biggest hot stove bomb of the off-season so far. When Gardenhire was asked about the outfield at an event in Fargo yesterday, he said outright that his starting three are Cuddyer, Gomez and Span — presumably leaving Delmon Young as the odd man out.
“Those three guys need to play […]

I had a off season after the playoffs, but I am back. So … Well, the Twins had a pretty good year, with a lot of young talent. So they could go back with same team next year and probably be close to has good as they were this year. […]

Today, Howard Sinker poses an interesting question: Should it be Denard Span who gets sent down when Michael Cuddyer returns to action? Or should it be Carlos Gomez?
Sinker makes a case for both but his case for sending Gomez to AAA is the stronger argument:
“[Gomez] has been totally painful to watch at the […]

Kelly Theiser reports that Carlos Gomez is doing fine after running full-speed into the right-centerfield fence during today’s spring training game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He just had the wind knocked out of him and Gardenhire figured it best to take him out of the game at the time as a precaution (and […]

The Twins seem to be in a bit of a quandary, and that’s the way Denard Span wants it to remain. Gardenhire made it clear yesterday that Jason Pridie will be used as a utility outfielder if he makes the team — and not as the starting center fielder. That means the competition is now […]

No announcement has been made, but there are several things working in Carlos Gomez’s favor to become the opening day center fielder. First, and foremost, the the absence of Johan Santana will be on every Twins fan’s mind on opening day. And the grumbling will set off the decibel meter at Metrodome if […]
