The Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates are among the teams showing interest in Minnesota Twins’ pitcher Kevin Slowey, sources close to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports report.

The 27-year-old Slowey is currently on the disabled list with an abdominal strain, but Morosi’s sources say that he’s healthy now.

The right-hander is due a little less than $1.35 million for the rest of the season, and the Twins are willing to trade Slowey to a club to be used as a starter if they receive a fair value in return.

Morosi suggests that Slowey is a better fit for the National League than the American League.  He’s spent his entire career in the AL.
