Minnesota does not want to make a move unless they can save some money.
The MLB Trade Deadline is quickly approaching on July 30. The Twins are reportedly, "hamstrung in their pursuit of trade acquisitions unless they’re able to dump a contract,” according to reporter BobMinnesota has historically not been very aggressive at the trade deadline in the seven seasons of the Derek Falvey-Thad Levine era. They were able to cut their payroll by about $35 million this year, but it seems as if they will not be aggressive buyers this year.
If the Twins do opt to make a move, acquiring a starting pitcher like Yusei Kikuchi from Toronto or Nathan Eovaldi from Texas seems to keep catching steam on the rumor mill. Erick Fedde from the White Sox is also a potential option, but Nigthingale's report doesn't foresee that happening. "The White Sox are telling contenders in the AL Central, including the Minnesota Twins, that they really would prefer not to trade within the division," Nightingale wrote. "The Twins and Guardians would love to get their hands on starter Erick Fedde."
The Twins are currently 57-46 on the season and sit 4.5 games behind the Cleveland Guardians in the race for the AL Central crown.
