Jose Berrios A Trade Candidate For Twins?
3 years agoThe Minnesota Twins are expected to be a trade-deadline seller this summer, and "an increasing number of executives believe that Minnesota will deal" right-hander Jose Berrios. Berrios is under team control through the 2022 season, so the Twins aren't under any pressure to trade him, but they could take advantage of the market. The 27-year-old could be one of the most attractive and available starting pitchers this summer, which would drive up his price. Berrios has been solid in 2021 despite a small hiccup to the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, posting a 3.52 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 24.7 percent strikeout rate in 16 starts covering 94 2/3 innings. A trade to a contender could make him that much more valuable in the second half of the season.
