    Entering his 10th professional season, it’s safe to say that 2012 was the best year in Samuel Deduno’s career. Not only did Deduno end the year in the Minnesota Twins rotation, but he also had the opportunity to pitch for the Dominican Republic, his home country, in the World Baseball Classic.

    His career started as a 19-year-old. “I was 19 years old in the Dominican. I felt very good about getting signed. I knew that if I kept pitching and kept working something good was bound to ...

    At 14-20, the Rochester Red Wings are substantially better than they were two weeks ago. After a 2-11 start, the Red Wings have gone 12-9 in their last 21 games, and after facing the top tier teams in the International league to start the year, it was finally time for Rochester to play teams they have had success against in years past.

    After finishing an eight game home stand at 3-5, the Rochester Red Wings took the short trip east on the New York State Thruway to Syracuse to play the Chiefs (Nationals). Last season the Red Wings won just three games in Syracuse, a total they matched in their first trip to NBT Bank Stadium.

    The Bats Come Alive
    In their four-game series against the Chiefs, Rochester scored 31 runs on 50 hits. Outcomes can change when you average almost eight runs and over twelve hits per ...

    Entering his fourth professional season, Rochester Red Wings pitcher Kyle Gibson is hopeful that this is the year he gets his chance to pitch in Minnesota.

    At 2-8, the Rochester Red Wings 2013 season is not going the way anyone had hoped. It was just two weeks ago that optimists (including myself) were wondering if this would be the season that Rochester would finally put a competitive team on the field for the first time in several years.

    The Scranton Split

    The Red Wings started off their seven game road trip by heading to Scranton Wilkes-Barre to take on the Yankees. What was meant to be a three game series became ...

    Opening week has come and gone, and after playing a four game home and home series against the Buffalo Bisons it’s safe to say that at 1-3, the Rochester Red Wings, the Minnesota Twins AAA affiliate, are not where they had hoped to be.

    The First Three Games
    In the two games in Buffalo and the home opener in Rochester, offense was the biggest problem. As previously stated in Red Wings Season Preview, scoring runs was going to be tough for Rochester. Being outscored 24-11 in ...

    In 2011, the Rochester Red Wings won four more games than the previous year, but that also meant they had ost 90+ games in two consecutive seasons, the first time that had happened since 1903 & 1904. It was time for a change; manager Tom Nieto was let go and Gene Glynn was hired to take the job.

    In Glynn's first season as manager, the Red Wings finished with a 72-72 record, their best finish since 2008. They'll try to further improve in 2013 with a mixture of prospects and players working their way back to the majors. Here's what you can expect from the 2013 Red Wings.

    The Rochester Red Wings finished the 2012 season with a 72-72 record. That might not seem impressive, but the team hadn't reached that mark since 2008 and suffered back to back 90-loss seasons in 2010 and ’11. It’s a step in the right direction.

    There was a buzz around Frontier Field on Friday. General Manager Dan Mason said that he was “very excited” about the 2013 season, and why shouldn't he be? The team is heading in the right direction, and manager Gene Glynn made the team relevant ...
