With the Minnesota Twins still looking very much like contenders. Here are 5 Players the Twins should considering in a trade.

Feel free to pinch yourself if you need to. It is actually June and the Minnesota Twins are actually still contending. Some of that first place position can be attributed to an awful AL Central, as well as a really pretty awful American League altogether.

No matter how the Twins got into first place, they are there. Which means the playoffs are a reality. The other side of reality is that this Twins’ roster needs help in several key places. Spoiler alert: The pitching staff needs improvement.

The rest of this article will be devoted to identifying 5 players the Twins should be calling other teams about. To help identify some of these players I used the “Top 30 Trade Deadline Candidates for 2017” written over at MLB Trade Rumors. Take a look at my picks and I would also love to hear how you might act as Twins General Manager if you were in that seat.
