As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the Minnesota Twins are expected to retain All-Stars Joe Ryan and Byron Buxton. Despite speculation about trading them, former MLB GM Jim Bowden reports the Twins are looking to strengthen their bullpen instead. The team, currently at 54-55 and 1.5 games back in the AL Wild Card race, may seek additional pitching help.
