A move that raised eyebrows on both sides of the coin was the 2025 trade deadline deal between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Minnesota Twins where each team acquired a pitcher and a hitter. Toronto landed relief pitcher Louis Varland and first baseman Ty France. The Twins got two prospects, outfielder Alan Roden, who made his MLB debut earlier in the season, and Kendry Rojas who has yet to play at the MLB level.
However, that could soon change for Rojas, as the former Blue Jays prospect could quickly become big part of the Twins pitching plans.
