Twins retain Ryan Jeffers amid postseason push

The Minnesota Twins have stated their intention to keep catcher Ryan Jeffers as the trade deadline approaches on August 3. Despite a.948 OPS and ongoing interest from other teams, the Twins are focused on remaining competitive in the AL Central, where they trail by just 3 games. With a current record of 47-49, they are also in contention for the final AL Wild Card spot. Jeffers, who is set to become a free agent after the season, has accumulated 1.8 bWAR and seven home runs through 126 at-bats this year, making him a valuable asset for the Twins if they choose to sell in the future.
