Bradley was acquired during Minnesota's trade deadline fire sale from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for Griffin Jax. Twins President of Baseball Operations, Derek Falvey, had a lot of good things to say about their new 24-year-old RHP, but it's hard to see why so far.

Bradley's splitter was dominant in 2024, when he struck out 154 batters in 138 innings, but it hasn’t been nearly as effective this season.

Making his first major league start with his new team, righthander Taj Bradley gave up seven runs in the first two innings.
