Twins News
The Minnesota Twins are making bold moves as the trade deadline looms, highlighted by their acquisition of A.J. Minter from the Mets and Dean Kremer from the Orioles, which further increases their payroll by about $5.1 million. This is a clear indication that they are serious about bolstering their bullpen, even as they made the tough decision to designate Cody Laweryson for assignment to make room on the roster. Trevor Larnach, unfazed by swirling trade rumors, delivered a powerful performance with a home run in Seattle, contributing to the Twins' 5-3 victory over the Mariners. With a recent hot streak of 5-2 over the last seven games, the Twins are trying to capitalize on this momentum while eyeing potential trades that could make their top prospects expendable. Expect more action as they aim to solidify their position in the division.
