Despite falling in the American League playoffs to the Houston Astros, the Minnesota Twins are still in a position to earn some impressive hardware this season.
The Minnesota Twins evened up the American League Division Series on Sunday night with a win over the Houston Astros. Twins starter Pablo Lopez dominated on the mound, joining some big names in team history.
According to Ken Rosenthal of 'The Athletic,' the Minnesota Twins are generating trade interest in their starting pitchers ahead of the trade deadline.
