I long for those cool May nights when the team would go up 3 runs and I wouldn’t have to even finish watching the game

Good grief can this 'pen look any worse right now? It's been a known weakness since Day 1 but the Twins have either been in denial or just hanging on.

 

I'm guessing this team picks up at least 2 arms at the deadline for the bullpen. Gonna cost a haul of prospects but in a year like this, you absolutely have to do it.

I'm not sure if they have to give up a haul of prospects. Making trades like the Brandon Kintzler move happened for a borderline low A prospect, and we got a non-prospect for Fernando Rodney last year. At this point we need several decent at worst pitchers and one headliner guy (Will Smith/Ken Giles).

Magill would be a candidate to be cut loose next. He has not been able to get any hitters out lately.

What good does trading out our marginal relievers for their marginal relievers do?

Three weeks ago you could look at a bunch of good bullpen ERAs and say to yourself, they may not be great but they've been getting the job done. I don't think that can be said anymore and the ERAs are climbing at an alarming rate.

Nice job May. Insurance runs, anyone? I think Schoop owes Berrios a solo HR at the very least.

Not even kidding about this. Get rid of everybody in the pen except Harper, May, Rodgers, and Duffey. 

Morin is fine. Magill should be cut. Parker should not be trusted in close games.

Brandon Kintzler wasn't marginal in 2017 and had a very good year, and Rodney was at least OK. So get a Ken Giles, a Kintzler-esque guy who's having a good year but is going to hit FA so he'll come cheaper, and then look for guys that might have been August waiver guys but that's not a thing anymore but they'll be better than Magill/other journeyman AAA guys.

That's not going to win the WS, maybe not even one playoff series. Get good players
