Twins To Play Matchups In Late Innings rotoballer.com Mon 3/25/19 10:32 PM

Twins Haven't Named Closer rotoballer.com Wed 3/20/19 1:06 PM

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli hasn't offered any specifics about the team's ninth-inning plans this year, and the Twins leadership has spoken more broadly about high-leverage situations in the final three innings. Blake Parker, Trevor Hildenberger, Trevor May, Taylor Rogers and Fernando Romero will be featured in those situations, but it's unclear how it will look. May and Parker figure to be the best bets for save situations, although it's anyone's guess right now. [...]
