As we sit 11 days away from the MLB trade deadline, everyone associated with the Minnesota Twins seems triggered. The fans are triggered because the front office hasn’t made a move yet. The players are triggered because they keep hearing from the fans that they’ll “blow it.” They’re also triggered because their 11 1/2 game lead over the Cleveland Indians has dwindled down to three games entering Saturday night’s game with the Oakland Athletics.
Everybody is triggered, but it seems like a simple move that was made on Saturday morning pushed many people to a breaking point.
