The Twins Have Never Before Spent Like This at a Trade Deadline

Twins VideoAs the trade deadline dust settled on Monday night, the Minnesota Twins couldn't be blamed for lack of trying in 2026. During Joe Pohlad’s tenure (not to mention Jim's), the trade deadline became a nonsensical spectacle. So how big was this trade deadline? Just look at the money spent on big names over the years in comparison:In the past, the Twins have usually spent less than 10% of what was spent on the most expensive player league-wide. You might scoff at the Twins not getting Zack Neto or otherwise landing a bigger name, but the most important thing happened in Twins trade deadline history: money was not the impediment to the goal.
