Jhoan Duran Market "Heating Up," Reports Say

[Matthew Trueblood]

Wednesday has seen a barrage of trades involving relief pitchers, but if reports are to be believed, the Twins might be about to raise the stakes on that substantially. Several reports (some of which we at Twins Daily can independently confirm) indicate that Jhoan Duran is expected to be dealt by the end of the day, and that the Dodgers and Mariners are especially aggressive in pursuit of him.

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com has one such report.

Joel Sherman has a very similar set of conjectures to share.

Our sources suggest that the Dodgers are in the lead for Duran, but there's still time for Seattle to up their offer. The timeline of a deal is not clear, but it does look likely that Duran will be moved before the deadline—and maybe even within the next few hours.

Dalton Rushing or Harry Ford. Good with either one plus another player

A 3rd starter and a class A catcher that is 18 for one of the better closers in baseball. Twins front office and owners are ASS. With all the interest in Duran this was the best they can do. Man this organization. At major league level is being run into the toilet. Jax and Varland have already proved they are not closers. What was the urgency?  You literally had two more years of team control. Phillies got over on the Twins. THIS IS NOT A GREAT DEAL. Big gamble to get back two prospects and zero major league talent. They only way this makes sense is if Tait develops power and sticks at catcher.
