The Minnesota Twins are preparing for a 2018 season with expectation after making the playoffs in 2017 as a Wild Card team. We will highlight numbers from team history that represent the number of days until Opening Day on March 29th in Baltimore.
During the offseason following the 2011 season, the Twins found themselves at a crossroads. One of their beloved and fan favorite players of so many winning teams, Michael Cuddyer, was a free agent and set for a payday. The Twins needed his type of bat in the lineup and in the outfield, but instead of paying Cuddyer they signed free agent outfielder Josh Willingham.
