The Twins have added right-hander Tommy Nance from the Blue Jays in a move that gives Minnesota another arm for the bullpen and adds to the sense that the trade deadline picture is starting to take shape. The deal was reported at 1:52pm CDT on July 10, 2026.
What Minnesota got in the deal
For the Twins, the headline is straightforward: Tommy Nance is coming in. The move fits the profile of a bullpen addition, with Minnesota bringing in a major-league reliever as it continues to sort out its roster options.
The trade also brought back international bonus pool space for Minnesota, which gives the club a little extra flexibility beyond the immediate pitching help.
What Toronto received
The Blue Jays received minor leaguer Ryan Sprock in return. So while the transaction is centered on Nance joining the Twins, it also reshapes both organizations’ depth in a way that goes beyond one roster spot.
These are the sorts of deals that tend to draw attention around the deadline because they can hint at more activity to come. For Minnesota, this move answers one bullpen question. For Toronto, it adds a prospect piece and keeps its options open as the market develops.
At this stage, that is the clearest read on the trade: the Twins get Tommy Nance, the Blue Jays get Ryan Sprock, and Minnesota also gains international bonus pool space. The broader deadline story will now be about whether either club has more moves still to come.
