It takes a strong regular season to get a team into the playoffs, but once a team actually gets there, all bets are off. Just ask the Twins.

Consider that the first World Series championship in club history came in 1987, when the Twins were barely above .500 in the regular

MINNEAPOLIS -- As they say, every team is tied for first place on Opening Day.

No matter the expectations for your favorite club, whether lofty or pessimistic, the first day of the season is a blank slate for hopes to run high and for fans to rejoice around America as they

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins traditionally haven't been a splashy team at the Winter Meetings.

That's not to say the club has been completely quiet at previous Winter Meetings. In fact, the top transaction on this list actually netted one of the most decorated players in Twins history.

Now in their seventh decade since moving from Washington, the Twins have long since established an identity and history in, and connection to, their home in Minnesota. With two World Series titles and extensive individual glory, there’s plenty to celebrate over the franchise’s history in the Twin Cities, and what

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins have been mostly quiet in the Rule 5 Draft in recent years, but they have some history of intriguing finds over the history of the event. Here’s a look at every player they’ve taken in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft.

Johan Santana's career may not (yet) have carried him into the National Baseball Hall of Fame due to his injury-shortened career, but when he was in his prime, with that signature changeup tying hitters into knots again and again, few could stand in the way of his sheer

MINNEAPOLIS -- From the arrival of Major League Baseball in Minnesota in 1961 to the modern era of Twins baseball at Target Field, nine icons have risen above the rest in their significance to the club's history with contributions deserving of their jersey numbers being retired.

Jim Kaat became the ninth

As the zeros piled up across the scoreboard, the two future Hall of Famers had the same thought: “Get me one and it’s over.”

The setting: Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis.

Dave Winfield never spent a day in the Minor Leagues. Seems about right. He was a Major presence in every way.

In the batter’s box, Winfield would coil his 6-foot-6 frame, ready to whip his bat through the zone to unleash screaming line drives that tested the resolve of
