5/13/24 Ober spectacular, Santana homers again in 5-1 Twins win. TORONTO – Something must have been wrong with the pink bats the Twins and Blue Jays used to celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday.

Toronto righthander Alek Manoah nearly equaled him — until Santana struck again. The veteran ...

4/30/24 The Twins’ home-run sausage is fueling their eight-game winning streak. The Minnesota Twins are no stranger to unique home-run celebrations. Last season, the team introduced a fishing vest and toy fishing pole to the dugout. This year, it’s none other than a midwestern delicacy — the summer sausage — fueling the Twins’ eight-game winning streak. Hitting coach David Popkins brought a tangy summer sausage into the dugout and beckoned his players to tap it. The presence of the sausage ignited a flurry of hits, including back-to-back homers. After Carlos Santana homered in the eighth, Ryan Jeffers tossed the sausage to the first baseman and the home-run celebration was born.

3/16/24 Minnesota Twins May Use Veteran in Surprising Way in 2024. Minnesota Twins May Use Veteran in Surprising Way in 2024 After signing with the Minnesota Twins this offseason, veteran switch-hitter Carlos Santana reportedly could find himself hitting leadoff against left-handed pitching. The 38-year-old isn't your typical leadoff hitter, but he's played himself into an everyday role. Author: Brady Farkas Mar 16, 2024 8:12 AM EDT In this story: Minnesota Twins Carlos Santana, leadoff hitter? That's what it sounds like, at least in certain situations, heading into 2024 for the Minnesota Twins .

3/15/24 Slugging Carlos Santana could be a leadoff option for Twins. Carlos Santana hasn't hit leadoff in a regular-season game since 2018. Santana, a middle-of-the-order bat for most of his career, has hit leadoff recently in two games against lefties. While Edouard Julien is expected to fill that role against righties, Santana is among those Baldelli is considering against southpaws. Last year, Donovan Solano, now a free agent, primarily settled into the leadoff spot against lefties.

3/14/24 Twins get glimpse of Santana at leadoff spot. FORT MYERS, Fla. — Carlos Santana batted lead-off Wednesday when the Twins faced a left-handed pitcher. That could be a preview of the regular season. Santana, a switch-hitter, hasn't batted first in the order since 2018, but Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said he's one of the primary candidates to do so this year when Edouard Julien is out of the lineup. "It's something that I'm definitely ...

3/11/24 Even as he ages, Twins newcomer Carlos Santana shows impressive versatility. Now, after all that movement, the 37-year-old first baseman has found a new home in Minnesota for the upcoming season. Santana, who turns 38 on April 8, has been remarkably durable over the course of his career. “The best ability is your availability” is a commonly uttered phrase within the walls of the Twins' clubhouse, and the switch hitter is almost always available, despite his age. “When you're 40 years old, your body can break down on you,” manager Rocco Baldelli said.

Author: Brady Farkas Mar 5, 2024 8:13 AM EST In this story: Minnesota Twins The Minnesota Twins may be preparing to give veteran Carlos Santana an everyday job in 2024, per Aaron Gleeman of ' The Athletic .' When the Twins signed Santana, I assumed he'd platoon with Kirilloff versus lefties and play sporadically versus righties, but I'm now convinced he'll be the primary first baseman no matter the matchup. They think highly of Santana's glove and seem to believe he's still an everyday-caliber
