Twins Face Uncertainty Ahead of MLB Trade Deadline

As the MLB trade deadline nears, the Minnesota Twins are facing uncertainty, with veterans Willi Castro and Danny Coulombe weighed down by speculation over potential trades. Despite being within five games of a wild-card spot, the team's recent struggles have made them likely sellers, though manager Rocco Baldelli encourages focusing on game-to-game performance. The Twins' front office is reportedly unwilling to trade key pitchers Joe Ryan and Jhoan Durán unless they receive exceptional offers. This cautious approach reflects a broader MLB trend, as teams with slim playoff hopes hesitate between buying and selling due to the expanded wild-card format. Other teams like the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox are also navigating trade and rebuilding decisions as the deadline looms. The upcoming days are expected to bring clarity and potentially dramatic roster changes across the league.
