The Minnesota Twins are set to be trade deadline buyers as the team is surprisingly in the thick of the American League playoff race. Last season, the Twins essentially had a firesale as the team traded basically anyone on their roster who had trade value. With a 54-54 record, the Twins are at .500 and are just 0.5 GB of the Cleveland Guardians for the third and final AL Wild Card spot. With the playoffs very possible for Minnesota, the team is going to be buyers instead of sellers at this year’s deadline, something that no one would have ever expected coming into this season. Twins Set To Be BuyersSpeaking to reporters on Tuesday, Twins GM Jeremy Zoll confirmed that the plan is for Minnesota to add, not subtract, to its major-league roster ahead of the MLB trade deadline on August 3.
