According to Charley Walters of the Pioneer Press the Twins should make a move to land Royals ace Zack Greinke. Apparently, the Royals are willing to trade Greinke for “the right price”, and the Twins are in much need to add an ace to their rotation.

Walter’s suggests that Minnesota can put together an attractive package to land Greinke that includes players like Delmon Young and either Kevin Slowey or Nick Blackburn. They could overcome Young’s departure with a healthy Justin Morneau, and they can move Michael Cuddyer back to right field and Jason Kubel to left field with Ben Revere as their fourth outfielder.

The Twins will likely lose Carl Pavano on the free-agents market, but with the addition of Greinke the Twins could fill that void. Should the team move  Slowey or Blackburn young prospect Kyle Gibson could pick up the slack.

Greinke, 27, had a spectacular season in 2009, winning the Cy Young award with a record of 16-8 an ERA of 2.16 and striking out a total of 242. Although 2010 was an off year for Greinke he could be a good acquisition for the Twins.
