The Oakland A’s road trip continues after winning a series at Fenway Park in Boston, as they now head to Target Field to face the Minnesota Twins for three games.
These two teams met once already this year, when the A’s swept Minnesota in three contests at the Coliseum. However, there were extenuating circumstances, as the Twins were dealing with a coronavirus outbreak that cost them a couple of players (who are in tonight’s starting lineup) and messed up their travel schedule. Now they’ll get a proper chance to make a better impression although they still stand at 12-23 overall, and have lost seven of their last eight.

The trade market for starting pitchers saw movement on Tuesday night, when the White Sox acquired Lance Lynn from the Rangers. Could Blake Snell be the next top-of-the-rotation arm to switch teams?
MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reported last month that the Rays “have told other clubs that they’re open to the idea of trading” the 2018 American League Cy Young Award winner this offseason. And this past weekend, Snell acknowledged to the Tampa Bay Times that he expects to be traded “at some point,” before he is scheduled to reach free agency after the 2023 season, although he hopes that such a move doesn’t happen just yet.
