Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down each option's strengths, contract situations, and likelihood of being moved at the trade deadline. The ultimate prize? Twins flamethrower Jhoan Duran, whose 100 mph fastball and devastating splitter could form an unbeatable late-inning duo with Diaz. Finkelstein also explores how acquiring a closer impacts Edwin Diaz's future with the team and the potential prospect costs.
