Anyone who has been a Minnesota Twins fan for the past 20 or so years has grown accustomed to being let down. Since the start of the 21st century, the Twins have made the postseason 10 times and won just two series. Minnesota has captured the American League Central nine times since 2002, and won 90 or more games six times in that span. The Twins notched 101 victories in 2019—one shy of a franchise record—then were swept by the New York Yankees in the ALDS as part of what would become an 18-game postseason losing streak that spanned 19 years.
So while this is an organization that has had plenty of success, disappointing finishes have become the norm. Last year’s squad got an early jump on the letdown by dropping 27 of its last 39 games to miss the playoffs completely. After a quiet offseason, Minnesota didn’t hear the 2025 starting gun and stumbled to a 13–20 start. In the parlance of our times, the vibes were bleak, and showing little sign of improving.
But fortunes can change quickly in this game, and did they ever for the Twins.
Minnesota ripped off a 13-game win streak out of nowhere to jump back into the division hunt and defibrillate its season. Before the start of the streak, FanGraphs gave the Twins a 29.2% chance to make the playoffs (down from 55.5% on Opening Day). After their 13th win, that number was all the way up to 68.7%.
The key to the turnaround goes back to the front office’s decision to largely stand pat this offseason and trust the core of the roster that it assembled over the past few years. There were no panic moves or splurge signings—the only major-league contracts Minnesota gave out in free agency were one-year deals to outfielder Harrison Bader ($6.25 million), relief pitcher Danny Coulombe ($3 million) and first baseman Ty France ($1 million). It was the least amount of money spent in free agency by any team in the AL.
Overall, the players have rewarded management for their faith in them. Minnesota’s strength is its pitching staff. The team has allowed the second-fewest runs in the AL, backed with MLB’s best bullpen by fWAR. Twins relief pitchers have combined for a 3.09 ERA, anchored by lights-out closer Jhoan Duran, who has allowed zero earned runs in 20 of his 23 appearances. Griffin Jax, Cole Sands, Louis Varland and Coulombe round out the rest of the impressive relief corps (though the latter just landed on the injured list with a strained forearm).
The bullpen was leaned on heavily throughout Minnesota’s 13-game streak. Ten of the 13 wins were by three runs or fewer, and four were one-run victories. During that stretch, Twins relievers allowed just four earned runs in 45 ⅓ innings, good for an ERA of 0.79.
Minnesota’s bullpen was a strength last year, though, collectively ranking fifth in fWAR. The rotation lagged behind a bit: despite ranking ninth in fWAR, Minnesota starters ranked 22nd in ERA (4.36) and had the league’s sixth-worst home run rate (1.37 per nine innings). The team’s top three starters—Pablo López, Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober—largely delivered, but the group lacked depth, and didn’t receive any reinforcements ahead of 2025.

While injuries have hit other parts of the roster, the rotation has crucially avoided any major land mines. López, Ryan and Ober have combined for a 2.93 ERA over 153 ⅓ innings to date to shoulder most of the load. Five other starters have put up a 4.22 ERA across 102 ⅓ innings, illustrating just how important it is for the three mainstays to stay healthy. A lengthy stay on the IL for any of the trio could bring about a repeat of last year’s slide.
While lacking in big-name players, Minnesota has built up quality depth among its position players, largely out of necessity. Injuries have long plagued the Twins’ talented trio of star regulars: center fielder Byron Buxton, shortstop Carlos Correa and third baseman Royce Lewis. The latter missed all of April but has played in 14 straight games since debuting on May 6. The results haven’t been there—Lewis is hitting .191 with just three extra-base hits—but his mere presence in the lineup is a positive sign. The same can’t be said for Buxton and Correa, who landed on the concussion IL after colliding with each other last week.
The return timetables for both are unclear, but the Twins have gotten contributions from a whole host of role players this season that allows them to spread the burden of replacing them around. Bader has proven to be a steal, posting a .793 OPS while playing his usual stellar defense. Trevor Larnach, a 2018 first-round pick, has followed up his mini-breakout from last season with seven home runs and a 111 wRC+ in a team-high 200 plate appearances. Ryan Jeffers has a 124 wRC+ while splitting time at catcher and DH, while infield reinforcements Brooks Lee and, more recently, Kody Clemens have filled in gaps for Correa and underperformers Edouard Julien and Willi Castro.
Is Minnesota’s winning formula sustainable? While so many contributions have come from the margins, there aren’t many that scream “flukish.” Bader’s bat will likely regress some, and Clemens shouldn’t be counted on to be an everyday contributor long-term. The eventual returns of Buxton and Correa will provide reinforcements.
On the pitching side, the Twins are trusting one of their top prospects Zebby Matthews with a rotation spot, and David Festa (currently in Triple A) shouldn’t be too far behind. In the meantime, Chris Paddack will continue to get chances, with his 3.98 ERA supported by a rickety 4.64 FIP. While most of Minnesota’s top prospects in the upper minors are position players, the pitching staff is an area that appears most in need of some help via a midseason trade.
The Twins can put themselves in a buyer’s position by keeping their winning ways rolling. They might not win 13 in a row again, and that’s O.K. As September’s collapse and this offseason showed, sometimes treading water is enough.
Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner was rung up on strikes by Detroit Tigers pitcher Jack Flaherty during the fifth inning of Sunday's game, and after expressing his dissatisfaction with the call from home plate umpire Derek Thomas, he was promptly ejected from the game.
Shortly thereafter, Cubs manager Craig Counsell got face to face with Thomas and was dealt a similar fate to that of Hoerner: an early trip to the locker room.
After the game, Hoerner spoke to reporters and addressed his frustration over the call and his ejection, laying out to the media exactly what he told Thomas after the called third strike.
"I don't think it's really that often you can verbatim say to the press afterwards what got you thrown out. I said, 'You're having a really bad day,'" Hoerner told reporters, via Marquee Sports Network.
The 28-year-old suggested he didn't make any obscene comments or anything of that nature after being called out on strikes. Hoerner claims to have given Thomas an honest assessment of his performance behind the plate, and in turn was tossed from the game.
Update: This video shows Hoerner was telling the truth about what he said:
Hoerner went 0-for-2 with a fly out and a strikeout prior to his ejection. He was replaced at second base by Vidal Brujan, and Chicago would go on to lose, 4–0.
Gabriel Agbonlahor has criticised Thomas Frank and a Tottenham Hotspur star in the wake of the 2-1 defeat against Fulham on Saturday afternoon.
Frank under major pressure after Fulham defeat
Spurs remain without a Premier League win on home soil since defeating Burnley 3-0 on the opening day of the season, following the 2-1 loss against the Cottagers at the weekend, which saw Frank’s fall down to 12th place, having now lost as many games as they’ve won.
The Dane is under major pressure after the latest setback, with it being revealed that former Barcelona manager Xavi is now under serious consideration as a replacement, and a move could be made if there is not an improvement in results by the end of this month.

That said, some of the blame has to lie with the players, according to Agbonlahor, who recently said live on talkSPORT that Frank’s men need to start stepping up to the plate, and the pundit was particularly unimpressed with the start Xavi Simons has made to life in north London.
The former Aston Villa striker said: “A lot’s got to change, Jeff. Players have got to start turning up. Xavi Simons has got to come to the table and start performing.
“You never know what Spurs’ starting team is going to be. Looks very confused doesn’t he? Sometimes it’s five-at-the-back, then it looks like it’s a diamond, then now it’s Bergvall off the left.”
Simons needs to step up sooner rather than later
Of course, any player in their debut Premier League season should be given time to adapt, but Simons needs to start showing signs of improvement very soon, given that he is yet to score for Tottenham, and has registered just two assists in 15 matches in all competitions.
The Dutchman was benched against Fulham, but didn’t make much of an impact after replacing Richarlison on the hour mark, failing to register a single key pass or create a big chance.

Some Spurs players are also already starting to have doubts about Frank, as they believe the 52-year-old makes too many changes to his attack and focuses on the opposition too much, and the manager will need to start improving results quickly before he loses the dressing room entirely.
It is still early days for the former Brentford boss, but things certainly haven’t worked out so far, with £52m summer signing Simons flattering to deceive, and things don’t get any easier, with Spurs set to travel to St. James’ Park to take on an in-form Newcastle United side on Tuesday night.
The international break is finally over and Sunderland return to action in the Premier League this afternoon as they travel to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham.
Regis Le Bris’ side have not played a game since their 2-2 draw with Premier League leaders Arsenal at the Stadium of Light before the break, and they will be looking to build on that with another positive result against a London-based club.
Despite picking up an excellent point against the Gunners, the Black Cats boss may still look to make some changes to his starting line-up from that match, including dropping centre-forward Wilson Isidor.
Why Sunderland should drop Wilson Isidor
The French marksman has scored four goals in 11 appearances in the Premier League so far this season, per Sofascore, and done so from an xG of 2.49, which shows that he has been efficient in front of goal.
However, the 25-year-old attacker has only scored one goal in his last six outings in the division, after three in the first five matches, per Sofascore, which shows that his form has dropped off slightly.
On top of that, his last two appearances for the Black Cats in the Premier League have left a bit to be desired, as his all round game has been underwhelming.

As you can see in the table above, the Sunderland marksman struggled when leading the line against both Everton and Arsenal, losing the majority of his ground duels across both matches without providing much in the way of quality on the ball.
His loose passing combined with his lack of end product and physical struggles could see Le Bris take him out of the starting line-up for this clash with Fulham, to provide another player with an opportunity.
With this in mind, the Black Cats head coach should unleash summer signing Brian Brobbey as the starting number nine ahead of Isidor this afternoon.
Why Brian Brobbey should start for Sunderland against Fulham
The obvious reason as to why the Dutch centre-forward should start against Fulham is that he came off the bench to score a brilliant goal against Arsenal before the break.
After coming on for Isidor, who struggled, the 22-year-old attacker showed great quality, composure, and strength to score the equaliser, as shown in the clip above.
The £60k-per-week striker is yet to start a match in the Premier League for the Black Cats, with six appearances off the bench, yet he has already had two major moments in a red and white shirt.
After coming off the bench against Chelsea at the end of October, Brobbey showed terrific pace, strength, and awareness to race onto a ball over the top, hold off Tosin Adarabioyo, and tee up Chemsdine Talbi to score the winner in stoppage time.
This means that the Dutch whiz’s contributions off the bench have earned Sunderland an extra three points in the last three matches, with two extra points won against Chelsea and one against Arsenal.
Brobbey, who U23 scout Antonio Mango described as “a freight-train when dribbling”, has not been given the chance to showcase his quality as a starter in the Premier League, but this clash with Fulham could be the ideal opportunity for Le Fee to do so.
After Isidor’s struggles in recent matches, bringing in the former Ajax marksman to reward him for his exceptional performances off the bench of late could be a good move this afternoon.

The Black Cats could land another transfer coup in 2026.
Manchester United’s defeat against Everton on Monday night once again highlighted the issues of Ruben Amorim’s reluctance to move away from his 3-4-2-1 system.
The Red Devils spent 77 minutes playing against just 10 men, but he refused to budge from his philosophy, which no doubt cost the side a chance of claiming all three points.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s first-half strike was enough to secure all three points for the Toffees, with the hosts’ impressive five-game unbeaten run coming to an abrupt end.
Since the final whistle, the manager has come under fire for his stubbornness in implementing a more attacking system, especially after the visitors’ early dismissal.
During the loss to David Moyes’ men, one first-team member massively failed to take advantage of the rare starting opportunity that was handed his way in the Premier League.
Joshua Zirkzee’s stats against Everton for United
After Benjamin Sesko’s knee injury against Tottenham Hotspur, Joshua Zirkzee was handed his first Premier League start of the campaign against Everton yesterday.
The Dutchman had previously had to settle for minutes off the substitutes bench, but the clash at Old Trafford was his maiden start of the 2025/26 league season.
However, he was unable to take advantage of the opportunity that was handed his way, with the 24-year-old struggling to match the demands of the manager’s system.
He featured for the entirety of the contest, but was only able to post a measly tally of 35 touches, with only five of his total touches coming within the opposition’s penalty area.
Zirkzee also completed just 15 passes at a success rate of just 60%, which resulted in the forward gifting the ball back to the opposition on 12 separate occasions.
His lack of quality was further outlined in his tally of one big chance missed and just four duels won, with James Tarkowski often pocketing the stand in centre forward.
Not just Zirkzee: United star must not start again under Amorim
In the 12 months since Amorim’s arrival, many United players have often struggled to match the expectations placed upon them – ultimately leading to their lowly Premier League finish last season.
Their performances, as seen by Zirkzee yesterday, will have led to the £200m spending spree during the summer window, but it should only be the start of the overhaul.
The midfield department should be next on the hierarchy’s agenda, with the manager no doubt wanting added reinforcements in such an area of the pitch.
Casemiro is getting towards the end of his current deal at Old Trafford, with Kobbie Mainoo seemingly not fancied by the manager after failing to start a single league game in 2025/26.
However, the defensive unit should also be one that the board are targeting, especially given the failures in that area over the past couple of seasons at Old Trafford.
Luke Shaw is one player who remains in such an area, but like Zirkzee, he’s often failed to deliver when called upon by Amorim over the last 12 months.
The Englishman has now spent over a decade on the books of the Red Devils, but ultimately, he’s entering the latter stages of his career – something which is starting to show.
He’s started every league game to date in 2025/26, but that’s not without question, with his performance against Everton one that failed to catch the eye for the right reasons.
The 30-year-old featured for the entire contest, but was only able to win 50% of the aerial duels he entered and was even dribbled past on two separate occasions.

He also only made one interception and one clearance, subsequently being unable to keep the side’s second clean sheet of the Premier League campaign.
Shaw’s tally of zero completed crosses out of his attempted four showcases his inability to find a teammate in attacking areas, which led to criticism from Gary Neville.
Manchester United's Luke Shaw.
The former United star, now turned pundit, stated that the player is becoming a “waste of time” at United and that his performances at Old Trafford aren’t fooling anyone.
His latest showing under Amorim is further evidence that he’s unable to match the levels he did during the early years of his career – with Amorim needing to exclude him from his starting eleven.
Shaw and Zirkzee are certainly nowhere near the levels the club need if they are to be successful in the Premier League, with the hierarchy needing to offload them to free up funds in January.
Not just Zirkzee: Man Utd man who was among the 'world's best' must be axed
Manchester United’s flaws were brutally exposed in Monday’s dismal defeat to Everton.
It’s been a great week for Chelsea, and an even better one for Estevao.
Enzo Maresca handed the Brazilian a start in the club’s Champions League game against Barcelona, his third on the bounce in the competition, and to say he shone would be an understatement.
The Catalan side couldn’t live with him, and thanks to some brilliant close control, he was rewarded with a goal early in the second half.
The teenage sensation looks destined to be a world-beater, so fans should be excited about reports linking Chelsea with a striker who’d be a dream teammate for him.
Chelsea target a dream signing for Estevao
While he has been billed as one of the next big talents for over a year now, nobody would have expected Estevao to have had the start to the season he has.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
Across all competitions so far, the youngster has made 17 appearances, totalling 740 minutes, in which he has scored five goals and provided one assist.
Moreover, three of those goals have come in the UCL, while his only Premier League goal came against Liverpool.
In other words, the Franca-born gem has already proven that he’s more than capable of performing in the biggest games for the Blues, and that might explain why the club are now targeting a striker who’d be a dream teammate for him.
At least that is according to a recent report from Spain, which has claimed Chelsea are interested in Samu Aghehowa.
In fact, the report has revealed that the West Londoners are plotting to swoop for a couple of promising young stars in January, one of whom is the Porto star.
However, the Blues are not the only ones keen on the Spaniard, with reports from earlier this week linking Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur with a £79m move.
In all, it could be a costly and complicated transfer to get over the line, but given Samu’s immense ability and potential, it’s one Chelsea should fight for, especially as he’d be a dream teammate for Estevao.
Why Samu would be a dream signing for Estevao
The first reason, and the most crucial reason Samu would be an excellent signing for Estevao and Chelsea overall, is that he’s a proven and reliable output machine.
For example, across all competitions last season, the Spanish international made 45 appearances, totalling 3400 minutes, in which he scored 27 goals and provided three assists.
In other words, he averaged a goal involvement every 1.5 games, or every 113.33 minutes, which is all the more impressive given that it was his first campaign in Portugal.
Fortunately, that level of output does not look like an outlier, as so far this season, the Melilla-born monster has been even more dangerous.
For example, in 15 appearances, totalling 885 minutes, he has scored nine goals and provided one assist, which comes out to an average of a goal involvement every 1.5 games, or more impressivley, every 88.5 minutes, which is a rate of return that lends to journalist Zach Lowy’s description of him as “one of the best STs in Europe.”

Now, on top of utterly bossing it in Portugal, the 6 foot 4 titan has also got some decent experience in a top-five league, as he spent the 23/24 season on loan with Deportivo Alavés, where he made 34 appearances in La Liga, totalling 1924 minutes, in which he scored eight goals and provided one assist.
Finally, on top of being someone who could help bolster Estevao’s assist tally with his impressive finishing, the four-capped international is still relatively young at just 21 years old.
This means that he could develop alongside the Brazilian and, over the coming years, create a potentially game-changing partnership with him.
Ultimately, given his ability and potential, Chelsea should do what they can to sign Samu in January, as he’d make the team far more dangerous and could be a perfect teammate for Estevao.
Shades of Estevao: Chelsea have another "left-footed magician" out on loan
Chelsea and Enzo Maresca could have another Estevao-type talent on their hands next season.
Chelsea are now preparing a club-record bid to sign Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez, with it being revealed Enzo Fernandez could play a key role in the potential transfer.
The Blues’ interest in signing a new centre-forward comes amid a slow start to life at Stamford Bridge for Liam Delap, with the 22-year-old failing to score in his opening four Premier League games since making the move to west London in the summer.
Joao Pedro has been more promising, picking up four goals and three assists in the league, but the Brazilian was given the nod in a slightly deeper role against Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out, upon Delap’s return from a hamstring injury.
The 24-year-old excelled in attacking midfield, scoring the second in the 3-0 rout, and Enzo Maresca has suggested he is also better-suited to playing with a partner, saying: “We know that he can play as a number nine or he can play as a number 10,”
“In both positions, I think Joao is very good, but probably when he has another number nine next to him, he is playing better.”
As such, there may be space in the squad to bring in another new centre-forward, and a huge offer is now in the works…
Chelsea preparing club-record bid for Julian Alvarez
According to a report from Spain, Chelsea are now preparing an offer of around €150m (£133m) for Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez, which would make him their record signing, should they manage to get a deal over the line.
Fernandez could play a key role in the transfer, as the Blues are hoping the Argentinian’s presence at Stamford Bridge will convince Alvarez to make the move, given that they are international teammates.
BlueCo clearly mean business, but it looks unlikely that a deal will be straightforward, given that FC Barcelona are also in the race, and Atletico Madrid are reluctant to enter negotiations over a sale.
Should the Spanish club soften their stance, the 25-year-old could be a fantastic addition to Maresca’s forward line, having made a flying start to the campaign, chipping in with 13 goal contributions across his opening 15 matches in all competitions.
Lauded as a “monster” by journalist Pablo Gonzalez, the 49-time Argentina international also found the back of the net 17 times in La Liga alone during his debut campaign, while a tally of 11 goals and ten assists in the former Manchester City man’s final campaign at the Etihad Stadium indicates he is very well-rounded.
Signing Alvarez would be a major statement of intent from Chelsea, and if they were able to get a deal done this winter, the World Cup-winning forward could be a real difference-maker in the Premier League title race.

انتقد النجم المصري محمد أبو تريكة، لاعب الأهلي ومنتخب مصر السابق، قرار آرني سلوت مدرب ليفربول، بوضع محمد صلاح على مقاعد البدلاء في المباراة أمام وست هام بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.
وتغلب ليفربول على وست هام بهدفين دون رد، في إطار مباريات الجولة الثالثة عشر للدوري الإنجليزي “البريميرليج”، في مباراة شهدت تواجد صلاح بديلاً.
وقال أبو تريكة عبر شبكة “بي إن سبورتس”: “فوز ليفربول اليوم سيمنح سلوت بعض الوقت، خاصة وأن الصحافة الإنجليزية تقول إن لديه الوقت حتى شهر يناير فقط، الفريق كان في أمسّ الحاجة إلى هذا الفوز، لأنه سيحسن معنويات اللاعبين بعد فقدان الثقة نتيجة الهزائم الأخيرة”.
وأضاف: “أريد الحديث عن جزئية محمد صلاح، عندما تقرر أن يجلس نجمك على مقاعد البدلاء في ظل الظروف الصعبة للفريق، فهذا يحمل رسالة، في كرة القدم هناك فرق بين أن الجماهير تلوم نجمها بسبب سوء النتائج، وبين أن المدرب هو من يُحمله المسؤولية”.
وتابع: “لذلك، عندما يقرر سلوت اليوم أن يجلس صلاح بديلاً ولا يبدأ به كأساسي، فهذا بمثابة إشارة منه: أنت المسؤول عن النتائج الأخيرة للفريق، نحن كلاعبين نشعر بهذه الأمور، وعندما يكون الضغط على المدرب عاليًا، غالبًا ما يبحث عن من يتحمل جزءًا من المسؤولية، اللاعب حين يشعر أن المدرب يلقي عليه كل شيء، يشعر بعدم الرضا والارتياح”.

وواصل: “حسنًا، لماذا لم يتخذ سلوت قرارًا بجلوس فان دايك بديلاً اليوم، فهو قام بلمس الكرة بيده في مباراة دوري الأبطال الماضية هل السبب لأنه هولندي (مثل سلوت)؟!”.
وشدد أبو تريكة: “التعامل مع النجوم يحتاج فهمًا خاصًا، يجب أن تُعامل النجم معاملة استثنائية تأخذ في الاعتبار أرقامه وإنجازاته وشخصيته، لكي تكسب ثقته وتحافظ على مستوى الأداء، أما الطريقة الحالية فلن توصل سلوت إلى أي شيء ولن تحقق له النتائج المرجوة”.
وأتم: “صلاح نجم يتعامل معامله استثنائية بأرقامه وشخصيته، وحتى تنال ثقته عامله كنجم، لكنك لا تعلم شيئًا عن هذه الأمور”.
WA slumped from 198 for 5 to 215 for 8 chasing 259 after Matt Kelly’s career-best 6 for 49
AAP and ESPNcricinfo staff17-Oct-2025Two crucial late strikes from Gabe Bell has put Tasmania on the brink of victory at Bellerive Oval after Western Australia quick Matthew Kelly took a career-best six-wicket haul on a wild day of momentum swings.Chasing 259 to win in the fourth innings WA were 198 for 5 as they neared stumps on day with Aaron Hardie on 61 having shared a half-century stand with Joel Curtis before they lost three wickets in 12 balls with Bell snaring two of them. It left WA still needing 44 to win at stumps on day three with Curtis not out alongside Corey Rocchiccioli and No.11 Liam Haskett still to come.Earlier, WA were given a chance by Kelly as he tore through Tasmania’s lower order taking a career-best 6 for 49. Tasmania had started the day 244 for 5 with skipper Jordan Silk on 51 and Jake Doran unbeaten on 29. Cameron Gannon removed Doran caught behind in the third over of the morning before Kelly took three of the last four in a devastating burst as Tasmania lost 5 for 9 to be all out for 259.Cameron Bancroft and fellow opener Sam Whiteman both fell cheaply in the chase and the hosts were reduced to 76 for 4 when Hilton Cartwright (14) and Jayden Goodwin (48) fell in quick succession.But Sam Fanning (31) and Hardie swung the balance in WA’s favour, the visitors appearing on track for victory until Hardie fell for a set trap and was caught by captain Silk at a second short midwicket off the bowling of Bell.Riley Meredith then blasted through Kelly’s defences and Bell bowled Gannon to leave WA needing 58 runs with just three wickets in hand.Rocchiccioli hung with Curtis at stumps to keep WA in the fight.Bell continued Test aspirant Bancroft’s lean run to begin the Shield season when he was caught behind while Jackson Bird bowled without luck.
