While the cost to do business with the Minnesota Twins may be high, there is a method to Falvey’s madness. The Minnesota Twins have two of the best relievers available at the deadline and teams with World Series dreams are desperate to add more backend bullpen help for what they hope will be a deep playoff run.

A feeling of uncertainty hangs over the Minnesota Twins as they return home to open a three-game series against the Washington Nationals on Friday night in Minneapolis.

Several MLB players will have a new home by the end of next week, emotions can run high as the July 31 trade deadline looms. One player that could be on the move is Minnesota Twins reliever Griffin Jax — and this week, ESPN’s Jeff Passan named him as a best fit for the Mets.

The Twins also receive the Cubs' top pitching prospect, Jaxon Wiggins, who has quickly ascended through the minors. After being drafted in the second round of the 2022 MLB Draft, he underwent Tommy John surgery in 2023. Now, in 2025, he’s pitching to a 2.25 ERA across 36 innings with 48 strikeouts in Double-A.
