After a season in which they finished fourth in the AL Central with a record of 70-92, the Minnesota Twins may be ready to enter a rebuild. Earlier this month, Jeff Passan reported that they are likely to trade either Joe Ryan or Pablo López this offseason. Passan also mentioned outfielder Byron Buxton as a name that could be involved in a trade this winter. The Cubs could fill two needs with one trade if Minnesota is indeed willing to deal two stars.
Ryan was one of the most sought-after names at the trade deadline, with the Boston Red Sox reportedly coming close to a deal for the right-hander.
