The Twins have had an inconsistent season, starting poorly before experiencing a winning streak, then struggling again in June after losing their ace. They sit four games out of a Wild Card spot with ownership exploring a potential sale and cutting payroll. Their pitching staff had impressive early season stats but faltered due to injuries to key players. The team’s potential needs include starting pitching, a backup catcher, offensive additions, and bullpen support, with the second half of the season presenting crucial series against competitiors.
The Twins are one of several 'bubble' teams around the league who likely don't know yet whether they'll buy, sell, or do some combination of both prior to the July 31 trade deadline.
Minnesota is a fascinating team to watch, as the Twins would have some very interesting rentals if they opt to sell but also have a deep and talented farm system if they decide to push for contention.
