On Friday, Finkelstein and Staph predicted that the Cubs would acquire Ryan, sending the Twins a three-prospect package including catcher Moises Ballesteros, infielder Jefferson Rojas, and right-handed pitcher Jaxon Wiggins.

Rental players like Danny Coulombe, Harrison Bader and Willi Castro seem more likely to get dealt, but Heyman mentioned that Minnesota will listen to offers on star pitchers Joe Ryan and Jhoan Duran. They'd likely have to be "blown away" to make a trade involving the latter.

These are troubling times in the land of 10,000 rakes. The Twins have dropped four of six games coming out of the break. Already five games back of a wild card spot, it looks like the smart thing for the Twins to do is sell at the trade deadline.

Royce Lewis hit two home runs — his first career multihomer game — and Joe Ryan struck out 11 in seven innings as the Minnesota Twins beat the Colorado Rockies 7-1 to prevent a three-game sweep.

With his name being hurled about in trade rumors, Ryan struck out 11 in a win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.

The Colorado Rockies will look to turn their first home series win of 2025 into a three-game series sweep on Sunday when they host the Minnesota Twins in Denver.

Several scouts praised the Yankees for the deal that brought Ryan McMahon, lefty-swinging, Gold-Glover to The Bronx in exchange for a pair of pitching prospects.

The Minnesota Twins claimed catcher Jhonny Pereda off waivers from the Athletics and DFA'd catcher Jair Camargo.
