Nelson Cruz for Joe Ryan is one of the best deadline trades in #MNTwins history. Thad Levine, the GM at the time, tells us how the trade went down, why the Twins targeted Ryan from the Rays' system, and the "toss in" that nearly blew up the deal. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=s1WA7Q…

Joe Ryan has a 2.63 ERA in 116 1/3 innings this season. #MNTwins last pitcher with a lower ERA in at least that many innings through this point in a season was Scott Erickson in 1991.
Christian Vázquez has as many hits in six innings today as he had in the past month combined. x.com/DanHayesMLB/st…
Christian Vázquez has three singles today, including an infield hit in the sixth. #MNTwins
Here's a clip from our interview with former #MNTwins GM Thad Levine about what they should do at the trade deadline: youtube.com/watch?v=2IalBp…
Anyone talking about the #MNTwins possibly trading Byron Buxton should watch this interview from the All-Star Game. "I can't be traded. I've got a no-trade clause. I'm a Minnesota Twin for the rest of my life. That's the best feeling in the world. ... I'm a Twin. That's home."
It had been over a month since the Rockies won back-to-back games or scored 10+ runs in a game. They did both tonight against the Twins.
After handing one of the worst teams in MLB history their first back-to-back wins in a month, Twins players can't really complain if the front office sells at the trade deadline. #MNTwins are 20-30 in the last 50 games and these losses are basically making the decision for them.
