According to Ben Nicholson-Smith at MLB Trade Rumors, the Twins have acquired pitcher Carl Pavano from the Indians. No doubt, this is an acquisition that helps the bullpen more than the starting rotation, as Pavano isn’t really a dominant pitcher anymore, but he has done an excellent job eating innings for the Indians. More than anything, this is what the Twins need out of a pitcher. Pavano is capable, on rare occasions, of having one or two sparkling starts through the end of the year.
The Twins will be sending R.A. Dickey to Rochester, and I imagine this means Glenn Perkins will be moved to the bullpen. I can’t imagine the Twins having done much better with this.
