Minnesota Twins Trade Rumors: Dealing Glen Perkins for Nathan replacement?

By Allan

According to the Star Tribune, the Minnesota Twins could be shopping left-handed pitcher Glen Perkins. In his recent outing versus the Cardinals on Tuesday, Perkins pitched one inning and gave up two hits. Those in attendance to witness his work were scouts from the Pirates, Rockies and Blue Jays.

It was reported earlier that the Twins are interested in Blue Jay’s relief pitcher Jason Frasor. Other trade candidates that Joel Christensen of the Star Tribune suggests to replace the injured closer Joe Nathan include Indians closer Kerry Wood, Padres closer Heath Bell and Reds closer Francisco Cordero. Christensen says, “the Padres likely would ask for top prospects in return for Bell, who is two years from free agency. And Cordero has $24 million remaining on his contract.

Perkins, 27, was 6-7 with a 5.89 ERA in 18 games (17 starts) for the Twins in 2009. You can see Perkins’ contract history and statistics here.
