I guess it's redemption for Blankenhorn and Kirilloff in the 10th. They came up with the bases loaded and no outs in the eighth and couldn't get a run home. They'll fit right in with the Twins.
I don't find this hard to believe at all. None of us can know what options are out there and whether or not we would have found those options desirable. Maybe they are asking for Lewis, Kirilloff, and Graterol.
