7/25/21: Inside Twins - a podcast by MLB.com

Was the trade of Nelson Cruz the only deal the Twins will make before Friday’s 3pm deadline? Twins’ General Manager Thad Levine joins “Inside Twins” to discuss the tough decision to move the slugger to Tampa, and how this week could play out. He said the team is not actively shopping guys who are not approaching free agency after this season, like Berrios and Buxton. Thad thinks the core of this team will be able to compete for the postseason in 2022, a belief that is supported by the teams who are calling and inquiring about making a deal. As Thad put it “if other teams think our players can help them win a championship, we believe they can help us win a championship.” He also gets into some of the factors that are making this a unique trade deadline, such as the timing of the draft.Learn more about your ad choices.
