The Minnesota Twins are positioned as a bubble team, two games under .500, and four games from the final Wild Card spot. They have not seriously entertained the idea of selling, especially regarding All-Star pitcher Ryan, although they might reconsider if their performance declines. President Derek Falvey highlighted the likelihood of teams waiting until the trade deadline to finalize decisions. The Twins' upcoming schedule includes games against several winnable opponents to assess their playoff chances. Ryan has been a standout player, showcasing a 2.72 ERA and strong strikeout rate, enhancing his trade appeal if needed.
Minnesota is two games under .500 and four games out of the American League's final Wild Card spot, tied with the Angels.
President Derek Falvey noted that most bubble teams will decide their directions right up to the July 31 trade deadline.
If the Twins struggle and shift towards selling, interest in Ryan could significantly increase given his performance and affordability.
Ryan has a personal-best 2.72 earned run average while striking out more than 28% of opposing hitters.
