The Minnesota Twins could be at the center of this year's trade deadline. Given its middling record (49-52) and current standing on the periphery of the American League postseason chase, the Twins have a decision to make: to buy or to sell.
Should they opt to be sellers, Minnesota possesses plenty of enticing trade chips, most notably in its pitching staff. The likes of flame-throwing closer Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax would quickly be among the top relievers available should the Twins decide to trade them. Contending clubs would also find starter Joe Ryan (2.63 ERA, 132 strikeouts) to be an enticing addition for a postseason push.
