These players may be wasted with their current franchise, after all; might a move to the dynastic Twins better both side&#x2019;s fortunes? Indeed, there a...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14661</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Jul 2023 15:12:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Should the Twins Shop a Young Corner Bat?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-the-twins-shop-a-young-corner-bat-r14660/</link><description>Between Max Kepler, Joey Gallo, Trevor Larnach, and Matt Wallner, the Twins have four left-handed corner outfielders for two spots, and no DH role open with Byron Buxton appearing to be no closer to returning to the field. This, of course, is before Nick Gordon returns from the 60-day IL.

Whether you have a player who&#x2019;s underperforming or are dealing with a ton of injuries, finding under-the-radar options is essential to success.&#xA0;

They lead a poor AL Central but are projected to have a record that rarely gets a team into the playoffs. Because of this, many fans are interested in trading away veterans on expiring contracts for prospect capital.

However, there is no guarantee teams will move those players before the trade deadline. Here are five players on expiring contracts with teams out of contention.

He then transferred to Riverside College and put up strong strikeout numbers that dominated opposing hitters. As a power pitcher, he&#x2019;s an intriguing arm for the Twins to mold at the next level.
