The Minnesota Twins have struggled this season, prompting them to go into a full-scale rebuild at the trade deadline at the end of July. Just about any veteran contributor was up for grabs as the Twins loaded up on prospects and pieces for the future while sending a lot of their best current players to contending teams. As the house-cleaning went along, some Twins players even decided that they wanted in on the trades and wanted to find new homes. Standout reliever Griffin Jax was chief among them, and he requested a trade just hours before the deadline hit according to Dan Hayes of The Athletic.
