The Twins are shopping for middle-relief help. Once 16.5 games out of first place in the AL Central, the Twins have cut their deficit to five games and now consider themselves buyers instead of sellers. Asked if bullpen help is the target, Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said, "Yes. ... I'm not sure we're looking for a closer. I think we're fine there. I think we're looking for maybe a middle guy and some guys to help bridge the gap and come in in that sixth, seventh inning."
