The Minnesota Twins bullpen struggles continue as they blew another tied game on Wednesday night. This recurring issue has plagued the team all summer, despite high expectations for their bullpen at the start of the season. The Twins lost another game due to their leaky bullpen, raising concerns about their ability to hold leads.
Former Twins closer Taylor Rogers was waived by the San Francisco Giants, presenting a potential solution to the Twins’ bullpen issues. Rogers is having one of the best seasons of his career, with impressive statistics that could significantly improve the Twins’ relief pitching.
While the Twins have shown some improvement in their bullpen ERA, bringing Rogers back could be a game-changer for the team. However, financial concerns may prevent the Twins from making this move. The Pohlad family would need to approve the additional salary costs associated with Rogers’ contract, which could be a major hurdle for the organization.
President of baseball operations Derek Falvey may need to convince the Pohlad family to invest in Rogers and bolster the bullpen. With the trade deadline passed, claiming Rogers off waivers could be the best opportunity for the Twins to address their bullpen issues and improve their chances for success in the remaining games of the season.
