The roller coaster Minnesota Twins have found themselves in this middle of trade rumors before this year's deadline, and the speculation is only increasing ahead of the July 31 deadline.
With the MLB trade deadline fast approaching, the Twins are clearing roster space for any potential trade pieces they acquire.
On Friday, Finkelstein and Staph predicted that the Cubs would acquire Ryan, sending the Twins a three-prospect package including catcher Moises Ballesteros, infielder Jefferson Rojas, and right-handed pitcher Jaxon Wiggins.
As the Los Angeles Dodgers weigh potential deadline deals to improve their roster, they don't want to subtract from the MLB club to do so if they can avoid it.
Blue Jays make blockbuster trade proposal for Twins’ Jhoan Duran, offering top prospects to strengthen bullpen for 2025 playoff push.
Then, Freeman stepped to the plate, and as he has done time and again, he delivered. A walk-off single to left field, which tipped off the glove of the Twins' Harrison Bader, gave the Dodgers an enrapturing 4-3 victory.
The Twins are seeking at least two top-100 caliber prospects in exchange for either Duran or Jax, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. Passan goes on to note that such an exorbitant asking price has made teams reluctant to approach the Twins about a potential trade for Ryan, a top of the rotation starter two years away from free agency.
If the Twins sell, they have plenty of marketable players to shop, from impending free agents to core pieces under years of team control.
