One of their biggest deadline deals was trading away electric closer Jhoan Duran to the Philadelphia Phillies. Duran is a flamethrower, and his aura was all the greater thanks to the electric entrance that the Twins had put together for him when he took the mound.

Philadelphia bolstered its bullpen by trading for the fireballer and sending Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait to the Twins. Both Abel and Tait are considered top 100 prospects on MLB.com, underscoring Minnesota's overall rebuilding strategy ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Duran thought his electric entrance was too good to leave behind. The Twins agreed. After trading him, they helped the Phillies recreate it.
