Twins Tie Guardians for Final AL Wild-Card Spot at 56-55
Minnesota reverses last year's fire-sale approach, becomes a deadline buyer, and sits above .500 for the first time since April 21.
The Twins entered the trade deadline as buyers this season, a sharp reversal from the painful roster sell-off they conducted a year ago. The move appears to be paying dividends: Minnesota is now 56-55, above .500 for the first time since April 21. That record puts them in a tie with the Cleveland Guardians for the third and final American League wild-card berth. The race has direct implications for both clubs' postseason odds.
