Report: Twins receiving strong interest in Duran, Jax

Two of the Minnesota Twins' best relievers are getting the attention of several clubs across MLB.

Right-handers Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax are garnering interest from the Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Philadelphia Phillies, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.

The Phillies have been extensively scouting the pair, hoping to acquire at least one of them, Nightengale adds. Philadelphia's bullpen ranks 24th in the majors with a 4.40 ERA.

Duran is in the midst of another stellar campaign as Minnesota's closer, saving 15 games in 17 chances with a 1.49 ERA and 10.0 K/9.

Meanwhile, Jax has continued to be productive after a strong showing in 2024. The 30-year-old owns career-best marks in FIP (1.90) and K/9 (14.5) this campaign.
