We're just 12 days from this season's trade deadline, which also means it's been almost one year since the Twins' shocking 2025 fire sale. In the span of 72 hours, they traded 11 players, including a $200 million shortstop and an entire bullpen. In return, they received 13 players and cut over $125 million from future payrolls.
In the final moments of calm before this year's deadline storm, let's look back at last season's fire sale and assess the nine trades the Twins made from July 28-31, 2025. For several of the deals, 12 months is plenty of time to reach a verdict. But for others, a year is nowhere near long enough to pass judgment, good or bad.
With that caveat out of the way, let's revisit the Twins' deadline fire sale of 2025.
