Initially, the Twins didn’t know if they’d find the right return for their elite setup man because of a slow-developing market.

The Twins traded right-hander Griffin Jax to the Rays in the final moments before the trade deadline last week, with right-hander Taj Bradley going the other way. Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports that Jax requested a trade once he saw the extent of the selloff in Minnesota.

The Minnesota Twins' decision to trade Carlos Correa may have inadvertently set the wheels in motion on another major deal the team made last Thursday.
