With the Twins nearing the halfway point of the season, it’s a good time to take a closer look at their depth. MLB seasons are marathons, not sprints, and successful teams routinely need to go to the well to find guys who can help them win.

There was a sense of optimism that hadn't been present among Twins fans since 2019.

However, a good team wins their trades more often than they lose them.

The Twins took a quick 1-0 advantage off a Greg Gagne homer, but Jim Lindeman almost immediately tied the match with a single in the bottom half of the frame.
