Zach Eflin on the trade block?: 5 possible landing spots
Minnesota Twins
It’ll be interesting to see how aggressive the Twins are at the deadline, but they are currently in prime position to secure a wild-card spot come fall. Another reinforcement or two to their pitching staff might ultimately be required for a legitimate run through the American League, making the Twins a potential darkhorse candidate to land Eflin. Minnesota has one of the best pitching units in the league when it comes to strikeouts, but it lacks consistency overall in its staff, particularly with ERA as Joe Ryan and Simeon Woods Richardson are the only Twins starters who have a sub-4.00 ERA as things stand right now. Bailey Ober and Pablo Lopez probably aren’t losing spots in the rotation, but Eflin could be an upgrade on Chris Paddack while adding depth and experience that could help make the Twins a threat in October.
