They tried handing the position to top prospect Miguel Sano, signing Josh Donaldson to a four-year contract, and then trading Donaldson to the Yankees, hoping to replace him...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14670</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Jul 2023 13:24:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Mariners 9, Twins 7: Twins Bullpen Implodes Against the Mariners</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mariners-9-twins-7-twins-bullpen-implodes-against-the-mariners-r14683/</link><description>Box Score:

	This could be treated as a cautionary tale. As we now know, that margin was as high as it would ever get.

The outfield has been entirely left-handed heavy, and the bullpen is very heavily-reliant on Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax. If there is a straightforward opportunity to add, it&#x2019;s in both of those key areas.

Minnesota had clear needs at the deadline, and the team addressed those needs by trading for one of the top available starting pitchers, two late-inning relievers, and a back-up catcher. The Tyler Mahle and Jorge Lope...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14672</guid><pubDate>Tue, 25 Jul 2023 13:15:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 4, Mariners 3: Maeda's Gem and Late-Inning Heroics; Twins Stay Hot</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-4-mariners-3-maedas-gem-and-late-inning-heroics-twins-stay-hot-r14679/</link><description>Box Score

These players may be wasted with their current franchise, after all; might a move to the dynastic Twins better both side&#x2019;s fortunes?

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;
