Will money prevent the Twins from making a big splash at the trade deadline?
While shortstopto upgrade the team's pitching, insiders around the league aren't entirely sold on the idea that the Twins could get aggressive. What's holding them back? It might be money.
"Money issues continue to hinder any shot at a big move, and it's why the Twins are an add-and-subtract team and not simply an add team like they ought to be," Passan reports. "If the opportunity to acquire a higher-salary player presents itself, they would need to offload salary from their major league roster in that deal or another to cancel out the expense."
The lineup, when healthy, is as good as there is in the majors. Lewis at third base, Correa at short, Brooks Lee at second and Miranda at first forms a powerful infield. Carlos Santana has been resurgent and clutch as a first baseman/designated hitter and Ryan Jeffers is one of the better hitting catches in the game. The outfield is also strong with All-Star Willi Castro, Byron Buxton and Max Kepler.
