All told, the Twins made nine deals this week, sending out 10 major-league players, which represented nearly 40% of their roster. Among them, star shortstop Carlos Correa waived his no-trade clause to return to the Houston Astros in the team’s most shocking move at the deadline.

Said Ryan Jeffers of deadline madness: "Maybe this is the harsh reality of what was needed for this club. It’s a hard pill to swallow."
