While the Twins did acquire a few lower-minors prospects, the bulk of the return was weighted toward players who were in the high minors, with many of them having already debuted in the big leagues.

	For a brief moment, Jos&#xE9; Miranda looked like one of the Twins&#x2019; best success stories. A late-blooming prospect who surged through the upper minors, he burst into the majors with a promising rookie campaign. He even delivered one of the most memorable hitting streaks in recent team history....</description><guid isPermaLink="false">19123</guid><pubDate>Tue, 09 Sep 2025 11:35:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 12, Angels 3: The Royce Lewis Show</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-12-angels-3-the-royce-lewis-show-r19124/</link><description>Box Score

They let Sonny Gray, their All-Star starter, walk away in free agency.
