By adding Hoffman, A.J. Minter, and Dean Kremer without subtracting any major leaguers, the front office gave the Twins a real chance to grab a playoff spot.
With three more days to continue shopping before the trade deadline, the Twins have added A.J. Minter to the bullpen and Kremer to the rotation.
In a move that shows the Twins are indeed buyers, Minter is likely to replace the injured Anthony Banda as the bullpen's No. 1 left-hander.
Why did Tristan Gray get the call up to replace Buxton? What's wrong with Ryan? And oft-injured prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez is on the comeback trail.
Zoll said adding pitching, and specifically bullpen help, "will be a clear focus." But the status of catcher Ryan Jeffers, an impending free agent, is still up in the air.
