Buzz: Twins Target Gomez
Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that the Twins are targeting young position players like B.J. Upton and Delmon Young of the Devil Rays as well as Mets OF Carlos Gomez in an effort to bolster their offense.
The Twins will need a center-fielder if Torri Hunter leaves via free-agency.
Christensen writes that the Twins may be willing to part with Kevin Slowey, Matt Garza or Scott Baker in a deal.
In parts of two major league seasons, Garza is 8-13 with a 4.47 ERA. In three minor league seasons, Garza is 22-14 with a 2.88 ERA with an average of over one strikeout per inning.
…they are nice arms, no question, but if the mets send Gomez to the twins, it better be part of a deal to get Johan Santana…
