The Twins leadership seems to be seeking a return to the days of low-budget, aggressive baseball.
A comparison between the 2023 Twins team and the 2002 team reveals a notable difference. The 2002 team, developed under Tom Kelly and later Ron Gardenhire, was known for its fundamentals and "small ball" approach.
