The Twins added depth to their catching stable on Thursday, acquiring former top prospect Diego Cartaya from the Dodgers in exchange for Minor League right-hander Jose Vasquez. Cartaya, 23, split the 2024 season between the Dodgers’ Triple-A Oklahoma City and Double-A Tulsa affiliates, posting a combined .221/.323/.363 batting line with

It’s a little bit the calm before the prospect storm at MLB Pipeline. We just finished publishing our four-part series based on our annual Executive Poll, something I’ll refer to a few times in this week’s MLB Pipeline Inbox. And next week (answering a question we’re getting a lot), we

The Twins will avoid arbitration hearings in 2025. The club announced Thursday that it had reached contract agreements with all eight of its remaining arbitration-eligible players. Pitchers Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax, Bailey Ober and Joe Ryan, catcher Ryan Jeffers, infielder Royce Lewis, outfielder Trevor Larnach and utilityman Willi Castro all

They don’t call it “Twins Territory” for nothing. One benefit, and challenge, for Minnesota’s Major League team is that the fan base stretches far beyond its home base in the Twin Cities. There are Twins fans all over North America, but especially throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Dakotas and even the

With the calendar flipping to 2025, we can say that Spring Training begins next month. While this offseason has featured plenty of activity, there is still work to be done and questions to be answered for many clubs before they arrive in Arizona and Florida. Here are each team's biggest

In the final installment of the MLB Pipeline Executives Poll, we’re pulling back from the granular and taking a more organizational perspective. After exploring individual players and tools, we’re using a wider lens to see what front offices think about … each other’s operations. All of the questions in Part

This page will be updated throughout the offseason with the latest injury and transaction news impacting the roster.

Let’s keep drilling down, shall we? In the first two parts of our MLB Pipeline Executive Poll, we asked front offices about who they thought will be the 2025 Rookies of the Year, who the top prospects are and, of course, some Roki Sasaki questions. In Part III, we asked

Kyle Tucker had a great season when he was on the field in 2024. But oh, how it could have been so much more. Through 50 games, Tucker had a sparkling .286/.417/.626 slash line with 17 homers through 182 at-bats. After finishing fifth in the American League Most Valuable Player

When a baseball player reaches the pinnacle of the sport, a place in Cooperstown, his Hall of Fame plaque does not discriminate. If that player spent 20 seasons with a team, it gets listed under his name; if a player spent 20 games with a team, it also gets listed.

Our 2025 MLB Pipeline Poll kicked off with a look at Rookie of the Year favorites. In Part II, we take a deeper dive into what executives across all 30 MLB organizations think about the top prospects in the game. Who do executives think is the best overall prospect in

Every year as the calendar flips, we at MLB Pipeline gaze into crystal balls and turn our collective attention to potential breakout prospects for the coming season. Last year in this space, we listed Josue De Paula (Dodgers), Bryce Eldridge (Giants), Kevin McGonigle (Tigers), Jacob Melton (Astros), Lazaro Montes (Mariners),

As the calendar flips to the new year, it's a time for everyone to set new goals and make predictions for the months ahead -- and MLB teams are no different. With that in mind, each of our beat reporters was asked to make one prediction for their respective team

As the Pipeline Podcast wraps up 2024, Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo preview the '25 season with a wide range of predictions. The duo breaks down eight categories, from Rookies of the Year in both leagues and the No. 1 overall Draft pick to which organization will finish with the

Tickets for all Twins home events in the calendar year 2025 officially went on sale at 10 a.m. on Dec. 2, featuring a wide-ranging offering that spans not only Spring Training and regular-season games on the club’s ‘25 schedule, but also for TwinsFest, which is slated to take place from

We’ve officially turned over the calendar to 2025 this week. Of course in baseball, it feels like we began to flip the calendar the moment Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler struck out Yankees outfielder Alex Verdugo in Game 5 to end the World Series on Oct. 30. Here at MLB Pipeline,

Each Major League season is a stage for players to raise their game to previously unseen heights. Perhaps a blossoming star becomes unquestionably elite. Or perhaps a big league newcomer makes the most of his opportunity. Regardless, these types of breakout seasons can help turn an under-the-radar club into a

A new season brings new opportunities for every player in a team’s system. This is especially true for a team’s Minor League prospects, who look to build on the previous season’s accomplishments and continue to make a name for themselves as they forge a path to the Majors. Here’s a

At this point in the offseason, every team could still use some help -- and plenty of top free agents remain available. But taking into account age, position, skill set and projected cost, who is the perfect fit for each club? To answer that question, we enlisted the help of

At the end of the day, a home run's distance has no impact on its usefulness. From the shortest (which, in 2024, traveled 318 feet) to the longest (480 feet), it's still just a run on the board, give or take a few baserunners. But let's be real -- moonshots

Part of what makes baseball the best are the feats and amazing stats accruing left and right, every single day. We chronicle them throughout the year, but there’s no better time than before the calendar flips to take a look back. It’s hard to pick just one per team after

How do you make a big home run even more memorable? With an epic bat flip. As part of its year-end countdown highlighting the top moments of 2024, MLB Network took a look at the best bat flips we saw this past season. There were plenty to choose from as
