The Minnesota Twins have faced a tumultuous season, struggling to regain their footing after a promising start in 2024. Despite an initial surge that saw them at 70-53, a dismal finish of 12-27 left the team grappling with significant issues as they approach the 2025 trade deadline.

Pivotal injuries to key pitchers like Joe Ryan and Pablo Lopez, compounded by underperformance from high-profile acquisitions such as Carlos Correa and Christian Vázquez, have intensified the team's woes. The young talent pool, once heralded as the future, has stalled significantly, leading to a collective drop in performance. The Twins' management may be forced into drastic changes to salvage the season.
