    Twins Brian Fuentes to the Twins.

    I've kinda been following the Twins as the season gets to a near end. Looked like they may need a arm in the bullpen to go with Capps, and give them some options. Low and behold...

    Twins Twins Get Fuentes

    Twins acquired LHP Brian Fuentes from the Angels for a player to be named later.
    It's not known if the Angels are kicking in any of his remaining salary, though early reports suggest they aren't. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said that Fuentes will set up for Matt Capps, but there's always the option to use him in the ninth inning if necessary. The 35-year-old left-hander has a 3.52 ERA and 22 saves in 39 appearances this season.
    WOW! I am really shocked by this. With all the injuries the White Sox bullpen have, they let him go to the Twins? This is a great pickup for the Twins! The Twins now have two closers, a lefty and a righty. Perfect balance.

    I wonder who they are going to give up for him.

    It was a good move. I would like to see them add a bat. A ss that could hit would be nice addition. Hardy I am not really happy with.

    Fun things indeed could happen at the end of twins games. Who's excited?

    Interesting move. Fuentes is a decent 8th inning option, expecially against lefties.

    Glen Perkins goes back to Rochester to work out of the bullpen as a LOOGY.

    Twins send Loek Van Mil to the Angels to complete the trade.
