The Minnesota Twins have traded nearly 40% of their team this week, including Carlos Correa​ and four high-leverage relievers.

Any trade is going to draw at least some criticism from fans, but the moves that stand out include the Carlos Correa salary dump, Louis Varland getting dealt to the Blue Jays despite years of team control on his contract, and Griffin Jax being sent to Tampa Bay in exchange for only one player.

When I get that from them, that makes me excited because I want to take up that challenge." Fast forward to the 2025 MLB trade deadline on Thursday, and Correa was sent back to Houston as part of the Twins' unprecedented fire sale.
