Twins rumors: Minnesota could finish roster blow-up with \u20182 of greatest trade chips\u2019<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0Minnesota Twins\u00a0have already made a massive change to their organization,\u00a0hiring Derek Shelton as their next manager. Even more changes could be on the horizon for the Twins as they evaluate their roster.<\/p>\n

Minnesota has been no stranger to trades,\u00a0hosting a deadline fire sale that saw most of their roster depleted. However, pitchers Joe Ryan and Pablo Lopez remain. If the Twins really want to rebuild their franchise, both players are\u00a0viewed as two of the strongest\u00a0on the trade market, via Bob Nightengale of USA Today.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Twins have two of the greatest trade chips and could completely rebuild their organization by trading away the pitchers,\u201d Nightengale wrote. \u201cLopez still is under control for two more years at $21.5 million a season while Ryan still has two years of club control and is salary-arbitration eligible after earning $3 million last year.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Both pitchers carry numerous years of control at more than reasonable rates. They\u2019d each be one of the top pitchers in any team\u2019s rotation.<\/p>\n

The same goes for the Twins. If Minnesota were to tried either pitcher, or both, it\u2019d be a sign that the Twins are ready to begin an entirely new era.<\/p>\n

Over his five years in Minnesota, Ryan has pitched to a 3.79 ERA and a 719\/148 K\/BB ratio. He was named to his first All-Star Game in 2025 after recording a career-low 3.42 ERA alongside a 194\/39 K\/BB ratio.<\/p>\n

Lopez came over in the trade that sent Luis Arraez to the Miami Marlins. Since joining the Twins, the right-hander has sported a 3.68 ERA and 505\/109 K\/BB ratio. He was named an All-Star in 2023 by putting up a 3.66 ERA and a career-high 234 strikeouts alongside 48 walks.<\/p>\n

The Twins will need to take a long look in the mirror as a franchise. If they decided they really want change, Ryan and Lopez will become more available via trade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
