With the Minnesota Twins quickly running out of time to turn around a season that has seen their playoff prospects fade significantly, the focus for the organization will begin to shift away from contending now to preparing to contend in the future. In the increasingly likely event the Twins decision makers decide to turn the page on 2021, a great deal of attention will be paid to the upcoming July 30 trade deadline when many of the Twins' veteran players will be made available to other teams in trade offers for young prospects that might be able to help the team in future seasons.
