New-look Twins attempt to regroup in Cleveland for series against Guardians
August 1, 2025
A full-fledged meet and greet was the first order of business for the Minnesota Twins upon their arrival at the ballpark. Making nine trades and jettisoning nearly 40% of their team before the deadline the previous day meant there were plenty of new faces in the clubhouse when the Twins began their three-game road series against the Cleveland Guardians. Minnesota’s sell-off included standout shortstop Carlos Correa, closer Jhoan Duran and four high-leverage relievers who were several years away from free agency, including St. Paul native Louis Varland. Just two years ago, the Twins won the American League Central Division title and advanced to the division series.
