Twins Bolster Bullpen with Nance Trade from Blue Jays

The Minnesota Twins acquired reliever Tommy Nance from the Toronto Blue Jays for minor league catcher Ryan Sprock and international bonus pool space, aiming to bolster a bullpen that has struggled this season. Nance posted a 1.99 ERA in 30 appearances for Toronto in 2025 and has maintained strong underlying metrics in 2026, while Sprock is a 21-year-old catching prospect with strong hitting in the minors. The Blue Jays may be selling depth as they chase a Wild Card, and Minnesota sits a couple games back in the AL Central, positioning themselves for more moves.

Twins' power surge powers past Yankees in Bronx blowout

The Minnesota Twins hammered four home runs, including two by Josh Bell, to build an early 6-0 lead against a struggling Yankees squad and cruise to an 11-4 win at Yankee Stadium. Brendan Beck allowed three runs in the first and two in the second, while Camilo Doval struggled later, fueling a comeback attempt that fell short as New York’s offense stalled (1-for-10 with runners in scoring position) despite Jasson Domínguez’s homer and a late resilience. The loss extends a rough stretch for the Yankees, who dropped to 49-39 and have been sputtering offensively for weeks.

Rainy-day bullpen gamble costs Red Sox in 6-5 loss to Twins

In a rain-soaked Fenway Park game, the Red Sox fell 6-5 to the Minnesota Twins after interim manager Chad Tracy rolled the dice in the sixth by sending 35-year-old Tyron Guerrero to protect a one-run lead; Guerrero, making his second major-league appearance of the decade, retired two of four batters as Boston’s ongoing bullpen experimentation continues and the club sits near the bottom of the AL East.
