The twins started the biggest deadline sell-off. Obviously they will trade rent Willi Castro,,,,, Harrison Bud,,,,, Chris Paddack and Danny Coulombe. There is enough smoke to trust that they will move one of their first two controllable relief workers, Jhoan Duran or Griffin Jax. Given the history of injury Brock Stewarthe seems to be a good choice.
Still, their week was shocking. Minnesota deals Duran and Jax. They dumped over 70 mm Carlos Correa’s Unpaid contract. The players they received, Matt Mikulskionce a well-known draft prospect, but High-A’s 26-year-old reliefist signed a minor league contract with Houston two months ago. They even traded Louis Varlanda local in a twin city, he was the best surplus mitigator. Varland can control over five seasons and will not be eligible for arbitration until the 2026-27 offseason. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of dollars saved by additional France In this deal, this didn’t even cut costs. Minnesota obviously decided that the volatility associated with any relief pitcher would be enough to put Varland on the table.
Given how positive the twins ripped off in the lineup, it was almost surprising that they didn’t end up going further. Jon Morosi of MLB Network Joe Ryan. When Boston refused to trade MLB outfielders, they didn’t seem to have reached a deal. Still, one imagines that Sox and many others will be eager to reopen these speeches once the offseason begins.
The twins will play the strings with a bullpen that includes the traveler and exempt pickup. On any conspiracy left in the season, it’s watching young players Luke Keaschall,,,,, Alan Roden (Get from Toronto in the Valan trade) and Zebby Matthews. They obtained a 24-year-old right Taj Mahal Bradley In one-to-one exchange of jax, and added 23-year-old right Mick Alber As part of their return to Duran. Both start their organizational tenure at Triple-A, but can be checked out later this season.
While the next few months aren’t particularly interesting, the twins face a huge offseason. What’s in the store?
