Some of these players will take quite the package to acquire, so let's analyze the players available for trade.&#xA0;

	&#xA0;




	Griffin Jax had a poor 2021 season by just about any stat you prefer. He struck out just 18.1% of batters, walked them at an 8.1% clip, and gave up 23 home runs in 82 innings, a total high enough to make Bert Blyleven blush. Unsurprisingly, his ERA/FIP/xFIP slash line looked more l...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">12313</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 May 2022 12:50:12 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Gilberto Celestino Demonstrating Big-League Value</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gilberto-celestino-demonstrating-big-league-value-r12306/</link><description>&#xA0;




	In June 2021, Minnesota&#x2019;s outfield was in shambles, and the team needed another outfielder on the roster. Gilberto Celestino was on the 40-man roster, but he was 22-years-old and had yet to appear in a game above the Double-A level. All minor leaguers were coming off a non-existent 2020 s...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">12306</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 May 2022 11:20:06 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 12, Guardians 8: Bats Put Together a Nine-Run Inning, Snap Losing Streak</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-12-guardians-8-bats-put-together-a-nine-run-inning-snap-losing-streak-r12314/</link><description>Box Score

Jorge Polanco: 30 HR

	Polanco has become one of Minnesota's most valuable contributors, and he is one of 22 second basemen to hit more than 30 home runs in a season. During the 2019 season, Minnesota coughed up a ninth-inning lead only to have Polanco hit a walk-off in the tenth inning....</description><guid isPermaLink="false">12296</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 May 2022 17:00:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gleeman & The Geek, Ep 577: Horse Memes and Flushing It]]></title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-the-geek-ep-577-horse-memes-and-flushing-it-r12312/</link><description/><guid isPermaLink="false">12312</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 May 2022 15:52:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Yankees Giving Twins Fits</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/yankees-giving-twins-fits-r12304/</link><description>&#xA0;




	In 2019 and 2020 the former Guardians veteran became one of baseball&#x2019;s best at the hot corner. Gio Urshela posted a .310/.359/.523 slash line and hit 27 homers across 175 games.
