The Phillies are actively pursuing bullpen help and are willing to invest higher in prospects for controllable pitchers. Their focus is now on Twins' relievers Jhoan Durán and Griffin Jax, compared to past acquisitions like Carlos Estévez. The Twins, currently not definite sellers due to playoff contention, are facing tight financial situations, which could limit trading capabilities as ownership considers a franchise sale. Even in a seller mindset, the Twins might retain both Jax and Durán through arbitration for additional seasons, given their solid performance and cost efficiency.
The Phillies are focused on acquiring controllable arms for their bullpen, showing willingness to pay more for higher prospect costs than in previous years.
The Twins are not definitive sellers as they are close to a playoff spot, but financial constraints may limit their capacity to make trades.
Durán and Jax, both of whom can be retained through arbitration for two more seasons, may not need to be traded even if the Twins fall back.
Despite facing payroll limitations, both Durán and Jax prove to be valuable underpaid pitchers for the Twins, with impressive career statistics.
