It was a chaotic deadline day around baseball, and the Orioles were at the center of the flurry. Baltimore pulled off five trades in less than 24 hours, and general manager Mike Elias attempted to extract as much value as possible from a roster that isn’t going to make the postseason.

This Twins era began with a 101-win team in 2019. They signed Correa in 2022, but the Correa era will have produced just one playoff season in four years. It might be a few years before the Twins are even thinking of the playoffs again. Twins fans can only hope that assessment is wrong.
