Twins at Crossroads in Cleveland | Minnesota Twins News

The Twins clawed back to .500 with a win over the Cubs but quickly unraveled, losing two straight including a brutal Sunday meltdown. Now they face a make-or-break four-game series in Cleveland — a potential preview of their trade deadline fate. Four games behind in the division and two out of a wild card, a sweep could push Joe Ryan and Byron Buxton toward the trade block. The offense has been anemic lately, scoring just three runs in two games against Chicago. But there’s hope: Buxton, sidelined since May with a hip issue, could return as early as Monday. If he re-enters at his All-Star form, paired with possible pitching upgrades before the Aug. 3 deadline, the Twins might still salvage a playoff push.
