With the MLB trade deadline approaching, Minnesota could capitalize on a surging market for relievers like Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax, and Danny Coulombe.

The Chicago Cubs could look to swing a monster trade with the Minnesota Twins to separate themselves in the loaded National League.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan is being monitored by "a number of teams" leading up to the July 31 MLB trade deadline, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi.

The Minnesota Twins front office has officially entered what insiders are calling their “Hope-and-Hold” era, refusing to trade prospects with fringe potential while simultaneously declining to upgrade a 40-man roster already flush with replacement-level promise.

MLB trade talk has been going on for a few weeks now. The trade deadline is July 31, and it's coming up in a hurry.

The Twins have been on the block for almost a year now, as it was back in October that the Pohlad family announced it would be exploring a sale. Per Dan Hayes and Evan Drellich of The Athletic as well as Phil Miller of the Star Tribune, Manfred chalked up the ongoing delay to the Justin Ishbia situation.

The Twins select the RHP ranked 136th on MLB Pipeline. With the 149th pick in the draft, the Twins selected their fifth pitcher in seven picks, keeping up with a pitcher-heavy draft. They selected Matt Barr, a JUCO product from Niagara County Community College. Barr was the highest-ranked JUCO prospect in MLB's draft rankings.

The Phillies chose Gage Wood and Cade Obermueller in the 2025 MLB Draft, and it's possible they could pitch in the Majors this year.
