Griffin Jax of the Minnesota Twins has a 4.09 ERA and ranks highly among relievers for strikeouts. The Twins have a mediocre 49-53 record, placing them behind in the American League Central. With trade talks intensifying, Jax feels conflicted about his future, acknowledging that he may not finish his career with the Twins. He views potential trades positively, appreciating the recognition of his talent and the chance to help a contender succeed in their pursuit of a championship.
"Odds are I'm not going to finish my career here. That's just kind of like the trajectory of a lot of high-end relievers. That's typically the path. I'm emotionally torn because a huge part of me wants nothing to do but to spend the rest of my career here. This is basically all they've known. But at the same time, it's exciting to see."
"We know that there's going to be a lot of pieces moved at different times. They add and subtract at all times to help boost the major-league roster. ... It's a compliment to know that there's other teams out there that really think that I could help push them forward. It's sad, but at the same time, it's exciting."
