The Major League Baseball trade deadline is still multiple weeks away, and at 47-49 the Minnesota Twins could be buyers or sellers. They'll have a handful of games to convince Derek Falvey and Jeremy Zoll that additions could allow them to make noise in the postseason.
Until the deadline though, they'll need to piece things together with what they have. The lineup is in a great place when it comes to health, but the pitching staff remains in flux. Although Zebby Matthews is on his way back, Pablo Lopez is going to be shelved for several more weeks.

The bullpen has done plenty of the heavy lifting in the interim, but there has been churn at the bottom of it. Anthony Misiewicz recently replaced Joey Wentz . A trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers has Noah Davis eyeing the next opportunity.

This year was the first Davis spent in a Dodgers uniform and the brief appearance did not go well. Across five games Davis threw just six innings and allowed 14 runs (13 earned) on ten hits. He had an 8/5 K/BB. Ten of the runs he allowed came in his final appearance, an 18-1 loss against Houston .

Los Angeles promoted Davis after he owned a 3.94 ERA across 32 innings at Triple-A. He had a 38/15 K/BB and owns a 4.59 ERA in 449 minor league innings.
For now Davis will head to Triple-A and look to compete for an opportunity with the Twins. Misiewicz is at the bottom of Minnesota's bullpen pecking order, so that's where the likely opportunity could fall.
