Naz Reid is now the ninth player in Timberwolves history with at least 5,000 career points. Most points off the bench in Wolves history: 3,859 — Naz Reid 3,353 — Sam Mitchell No one besides Mitchell is within 1,500 bench points of Naz Reid. Two words.

Two things about @Ken_Rosenthal reporting the Twins plan to keep Buxton/Ryan/López. - Good to hear, but less so if they don't also plan to add to the roster around them. - Payroll is only $95 million, so "mild flexibility to make additions" isn't great. https://t.co/xXF6LWvp8T

The Twins traded away several top players in 2025 but plan to build around their current core and compete for the AL Central title in 2026.

Wanted to end my new Twins mailbag with this very fair question about how I approach covering a bad team and whether "an injection of optimism" should be part of it: https://t.co/rd4qUG8Nyu

My new Twins mailbag column includes: - Buxton/Ryan/López trade rumors - Preview of Winter Meetings action - Shelton vs. Baldelli ejection totals - Jenkins vs. Culpepper call-up ETAs - Non-answers to "hard" questions - My approach to covering bad team https://t.co/rd4qUG8Nyu

Plus the over/under on Derek Shelton ejections, Winter Meetings action ahead, questions that get non-answers and early roster moves.

11 of @TheAthleticMLB's top 50 free agents are off the board, signing deals worth a combined $507 million. We've updated the free agent big board with analysis of Emilio Pagán re-signing with the Reds and Cedric Mullins signing with the Rays:

Not only did Emilio Pagán get a two-year, $20 million deal to re-sign with the Reds, it includes an opt out. https://t.co/Iwztjn4DIs

Pagán took over the Reds' closer role early in the 2025 season and had the second-most saves in the National League.

Twins fans looking for in-depth prospect coverage should check out the new Patreon from @TFTwins and @J_D_Cameron called "Limestone Pipeline." They're doing audio, video, and written content focused on the Twins' farm system/draft. I highly recommend it. https://t.co/ERs25TNttq
