After trading 10 active players from the roster prior to the trade deadline two weeks ago, the Twins are left with a completely new-look team, especially on the pitching side of things. It still features cornerstone players like Pablo López and Joe Ryan, but it also features a lot of guys with something to prove at the major league level, both in young, unproven players and in journeyman waiver claims. It may seem like the season is completely lost, but that doesn't have to be the case.
The odds are, the Twins aren't going to make the playoffs.
