Twins' disappointing 2025 season could lead to team drafting star college shortstop

The Twins are in a bad spot in the standings after losing six straight games, which included a four-game sweep at the hands of the lowly Chicago White Sox. However, once the trade deadline fire sale occurred, any postseason hopes for the Twins were all but out the window. Therefore, the Twins' recent poor stretch actually benefits Minnesota in the long term, as it could lead to the organization receiving the first overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. Regardless, the Twins will likely receive a solid pick, but having the No. 1 overall pick could be huge for the future success of the franchise.
