Twins ace Pablo L\u00f3pez in case he becomes available this summer,\u00a0according to USA Today\u2019s\u00a0Bob Nightengale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-[18px] md:mt-0 mb-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">If Minnesota can\u2019t claw itself back into contention,\u00a0it could move L\u00f3pez for a haul\u00a0to a team that needs a starting pitcher like the New York Yankees or Chicago Cubs.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><strong>Twins ace Pablo L\u00f3pez just sent a trade deadline message to the rest of MLB by

my-f-1\">L\u00f3pez, who threw 98 pitches Tuesday, has been dominant on the mound\u00a0when healthy this season, posting a 2.18 ERA, 2.08 FIP and 0.94 WHIP with 37 strikeouts across 33 innings.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">L\u00f3pez, who is under contract through the 2027 season, is often regarded as one of the best starting pitchers in the game and has seen success in the postseason.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">L\u00f3pez, who had a 4.08 ERA and 3.65 FIP last season, has made three postseason starts, one for Miami in 2020 and two for Minnesota in 2023, allowing three earned runs on 14 hits and three walks with 17 strikeouts in 17 \u2154 innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">His best playoff start was his last, where he pitched seven scoreless innings with seven strikeouts in Game 2 of the 2023 ALDS against the Houston Astros to tie the series 1-1.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Twins have done their best to salvage their season recently, winning three of their last four after losing four straight. Also, key players Royce Lewis and Willi Castro are back.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">L\u00f3pez will probably stay with Minnesota if things continue to go well for the organization. However, if the Twins don\u2019t appear to be contending deeper into the season, there\u2019s a good chance L\u00f3pez will find himself on a new team before August, especially given\u00a0Minnesota&#8217;s poor financial situation.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><strong>Twins set to face Orioles in Game 2 of three-game series<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Game 2 of the three-game set between the Twins and Orioles is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. on Wednesday at Target Field. 24-year-old Simeon Woods Richardson is slated to make the start on the mound for Minnesota, while 41-year-old Charlie Morton is scheduled to start for Baltimore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L\u00f3pez had an incredible start against the Orioles.
