If you’ve been following the Minnesota Twins at all this past offseason, you probably know that they must fix their pitching rotation if they want to get back to relevance in the American League Central. For the Twins to do that, they must take a look at every possible avenue (as they’ve done recently according to ESPN 1500 AM’s Darren Wolfson) and decide which pitchers can help their team the most.
