I left for a month and the Twins slightly improved? The team is now 1.0 game away from the final wild card spot and two more series away from the one-year anniversary of the legendary Twins Trade Deadline firesale. It remains to be seen whether we’ll be saying goodbye to any fan favorites next week or hello to new players that are part of the playoff push, but regardless, it should be an eventful week in baseball.
The Twins split a series against the Guardians and took care of business against the A’s, and now face the Royals and Mariners this week. The team could potentially get back to being an above-.500 team and fight for the playoffs. That being said, the team was in a similar spot last year prior to the fire sale, so I wouldn’t hold your breath.
