One way or another, Brian Dozier's immediate future will be decided in the next week.
The Minnesota Twins, who have been open to discussing a trade involving the star second baseman, will make a decision regarding trade talks soon, sources told Jon Morosi of FOX Sports.
As of Wednesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers are still one of the teams in talks with the Twins.
A week earlier, the Twins informed interested suitors to put forward their best offers soon, because the club doesn't intend on dragging negotiations into mid-to-late January.

If the Dodgers truly are one of the teams still in the hunt, it's almost a sure thing to bank on Dodgers top pitching prospect Jose De Leon being included in a deal.
The St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, and Atlanta Braves were also showing interest, though it's unclear if they're still in the running.
