Twins predicted to land red-hot hurler with deadline about to pass

The Minnesota Twins don't have much more time to make a move ahead of the 2024 Major League Baseball trade deadline.

The deadline will pass in just a few hours and the Twins still need to add some bullpen help as it prepares to make a run down the stretch. Minnesota currently holds the No. 2 American League Wild Card spot with an impressive 58-47 record but there still is room for growth.

Minnesota's bullpen has been a talking point lately as the Twins currently have the 14th-ranked bullpen with a 3.93 ERA. The Twins need to add to the bullpen ahead of the deadline if they want to help their chances to make a deep run and Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter predicted that the club will end up landing Dylan Floro from Washington Nationals ahead of the deadline.

"(Right-handed pitcher) Dylan Floro from Washington Nationals to Minnesota Twins: The Twins need a starting pitcher, but they could also be on the hunt for bullpen help with a relief corps that ranks 14th in the majors with a 3.93 ERA," Reuter said. "Floro is a low-cost rental who has a 2.06 ERA in 51 appearances playing on a one-year, $2.25 million deal."

Washington seems to be open for business and Floro has been linked to a handful of teams. The veteran righty is having a career year and has a 2.06 ERA in 51 appearances so far this season to go along with a 40-to-13 strikeout-to-walk ratio. That type of production could help shore up the Twins' bullpen.
