Deadline day

UPDATE: The deadline passed and the Twins didn't make a deal. Not really a surprise. They still might get something done in a waiver deal for a reliever or an infielder, but I don't think they will, that's their style.

Today is baseball's non-waiver trading deadline and I'll continue to update this post as the day goes on, for now here are the most current rumors:

  • Bob Dutton says the Twins are looking for a second baseman, as Casilla is likely done for the year, names mentioned were Mark Grudzielanek, Brian Roberts and Rich Aurilia.
  • A name that continues to come up in the different rumors out there is Boof Bonser.

As things are right now the most I would expect the Twins to do is make a minor trade for an average to replacement level infielder.
