Minnesota Twins Rumors: Starter Emerging as Trade Candidate

The Minnesota Twins are a team to watch very closely in the trade market. If they struggle yet again this season, they have some valuable trading assets who could be on the move, and one of them is veteran pitcher Sonny Gray.

Gray is a pending unrestricted free agent, so he would serve as an excellent rental candidate for playoff teams looking to boost their rotation. In fact, even if the Twins are in the middle of the pack during the year, they will still likely take calls on Gray, as he has the potential to land them a very good return. In short, he's a player that they cannot afford to lose for nothing unless they are legitimate contenders.

Gray was solid in his first season as a Twin, and the truth is made apparent with his stats. In 24 appearances on the year, he had an 8-5 record to go along with a 3.08 ERA. If he can replicate those numbers with the Twins in 2023, expect Minnesota to receive a nice return for him at the deadline.
