TWINS ADD A RELIEVER

The Minnesota Twins acquired pitcher Michael Tonkin from the New York Mets for cash.

What does it give the Minnesota Twins
The Twins are familiar with Tonkin, who was originally drafted by Minnesota in 2008. He spent parts of five seasons with the Twins, so now he is back to fill a depth role out of the bullpen.

What does it give the New York Mets
The Mets recently designated Tonkin for assignment, so it was a predictable outcome for them to get some cash back via trade. New York obviously felt comfortable with the bullpen depth.
