SKOR North 5 thoughts: 5 relievers the Twins should target in a trade Jun 07, 2019

Show notes

The Twins reportedly offered Craig Kimbrel and he said, 'Thanks, but I'm going to pitch for the Cubs.' Well, at least part of that is true. But their interest in adding to the bullpen means they could stand to improve, and they seem to agree. Who are the names out there that could make sense for Minnesota before the MLB Trade Deadline? Derek Wetmore discusses with Ramie Makhlouf, Manny Hill, Judd Zulgad and Matthew Coller.

Glen Perkins on Baseball: Does Craig Kimbrel feel like a missed opportunity for the Twins? Jun 06, 2019

Show notes

On a night the Twins' bullpen didn't do its job, Craig Kimbrel agreed to a deal with the Cubs. That timing is, uh, not great. Glen Perkins shared with Phil Mackey and Derek Wetmore why he believes not signing Kimbrel to a deal feels like a missed opportunity. It's a special Twins team and could use another arm in the late innings, and Kimbrel was available. At the same time, Perk says it's not fair to criticize the Twins without knowing the whole circumstances of the negotiation.
