The Minnesota Twins are currently experiencing a rough patch, enduring a four-game losing streak exacerbated by an ineffective bullpen and poor defensive play. Despite strong performances from starting pitchers Joe Ryan, Taj Bradley, and Bailey Ober, who collectively allowed only three earned runs in 18.1 innings, the team has struggled overall. Adding to their woes, promising pitcher Mick Abel has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. In response, the Twins have called up young pitchers Kendry Rojas and Connor Prielipp as part of a youth movement aimed at revitalizing the team. The American League remains tightly contested, with seven teams within two games of the league-leading Yankees. Meanwhile, the Mets are facing significant challenges, currently on an 11-game losing streak. As the season progresses, discussions about potential trades are heating up, with analysts suggesting candidates for each team.
