I'm not sure The Twins are willing to make that move, the last time we made a deal for a late inning relief pitcher we gave up arguably our best prospect and now we're trying to figure out how to replace what we got in that deal. I think that between Capps and Perk our set-up role will be good to go. We've got some young arms waiting in the wings (literally, the Red wings) and we'll be alright. I don't see the front office going out and getting an arm to bring in. For the Twins to be buyers they'll need to finish the month on a hot streak and get themselves into the thick of things in the division race. Rauch back in the Twins pin stripes?
