Soriano, was one they could have pulled trigger on, and didn't want the salary or rental for prospect capital from Rangers. His bat would have helped. Could have just been rumor of the day, but sounded like Twins ownership didn't want to part with a certain outfield prospect or add salary. But that is what I acknowledge as hearsey. With Liriano's injury they really should have added a starter, but again payroll constraints of the Dome, revenue. Still was the best teams we had to make a playoff run, regretful that those teams not added too. They were in on better closers, relievers than Matt Capps but settled on him because of prospect capital and salary.
