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?

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.
