Yesterday we mentioned the Minnesota Twins are looking to acquire additional starting pitching despite the fact that their starting rotation posted a 1.06 ERA during their last turn around, but as many general managers in baseball say – you can’t ever have enough pitcher.

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports says the Twins have asked the Chicago Cubs about left-handed pitcher Ted Lilly. The problem is that the Twins are on Lilly’s no-trade list.

No-trade lists are not set in stone. They just give the team and the player a little more negotiation leverage.

Lilly is being paid $4 million, and he’s a free agent after the season. Rosenthal says that it will take additional compensation for Lilly to waive his no-trade clause.

You have to wonder how much Lilly will improve the starting staff given their solid performance since the All-Star Break.
