The reality is this farm system checks in somewhere between 12-18 across the league. There’s depth, but with graduations, many of the high-level performers aren’t there. Royce Lewis is hurt. Austin Martin is underperforming.

The offense, which ranks top-5 in MLB in Weighted Runs Created Plus (wRC+), needs help from the pitching staff. The holes are appar...12762Wed, 27 Jul 2022 12:00:34 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-is-the-biggest-move-made-by-the-twins-before-the-trade-deadline-r12760/  Although this is trade deadline season, roster decisions aren’t just going to be made from the perspective of adding talent.
