The morale around the Minnesota Twins hasn't exactly been the strongest, considering the front office decimated the Major League roster at the MLB trade deadline last week. It may not seem like things could be worse for the Twins, but they could be in the position that the New York Yankees are.
Once looking like the top team in the American League East, it hasn't been a great go of things for the Yankees in recent weeks. The Toronto Blue Jays have been one of the hottest teams in baseball and stole the top spot in the AL East away from the Yankees and even the Boston Red Sox, winners of 8 of their last 10 games, have leapfrogged the Yankees in the standings.
