Twins 2026 Trade Deadline Needs: Ranking Minnesota's Biggest Priorities

[weitz41]

As of today. I'd say take a look at the last 10 games for the Red Sox and Tigers. They both may be buying by the deadline. Both have + run differentials and expected win totals of 48. For now, I'd remove any of their players from your wish list. Of course I'd like to see Sonny back in a Twins uni. Chapman closing out games for the Twins. Adding Mize would be as good adding Gray. But....

All I know is that if the Twins don't sell the guys not under their control for next year, what are we even doing here?  Have they and anyone who agrees with them deluded themselves that much?

Intellectually, I want them also to trade Joe Ryan and some others, but I do feel the fun of "having a chance."

On the other hand, why would you trade Josh Bell unless you get something really helpful for the future?  It's doubtful that he'd fetch that much, so maybe you don't trade him for that reason.  Jeffers should bring a good prospect, though I'm skeptical the Twins will identify one.
