Buzz: Twins want a 2B, Hi Luis Castillo

by Matthew Cerrone on July 31st, 2008 at 9:41 am

The Twins are now in search of a second baseman, after having placed 2B Alexi Casilla on the disabled list with a season-ending injury, reports the Kansas City Star.

According to the report, the Twins are most interested in O’s 2B Brian Roberts, as well as Dodgers 2B Jeff Kent, while shopping players such as RHP Boof Bonser and OF Craig Monroe.

…if the Mets will pay most of his salary, and the Twins will take him back, i’ll gladly drive Luis Castillo to the Metrodome when he’s ready to return from the disabled list

no chance, i know…i’m just sayin

Prior to yesterday’s game, Jerry Manuel told reporters that Castillo is still working out in Port St. Lucie, he’ll begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, and should be able to rejoin the team during the first part of August.
