The Philadelphia Phillies get their lockdown closer for the bullpen in a trade with the Minnesota Twins for reliever Jhoan Duran.

The Philadelphia Phillies' new closer sent a clear message to the team after a blockbuster trade from the Minnesota Twins.

Phillies fans were looking forward to seeing both when the team’s new closer, Jhoan Duran, would come on to pitch for the first time after being acquired in a July 30 trade with the Twins. The Phillies and American League Central-leading Detroit opened a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park Aug.

After making an unprecedented amount of moves at the trade deadline the Minnesota Twins needed to make a bunch of moves to fill out the roster.

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.

The Minnesota Twins fell to the Cleveland Guardians 3-2 on Friday night after Kyle Manzardo singled home Brayan Rocchio with one out in the 10th inning for his second walk-off hit of the season.
