The Minnesota Twins will likely be placing a phone call to the Florida Marlins

With the Twins moving into their new stadium this April they can afford to throw some cash around. With big holes all over the infield they should consider calling the Florida Marlins. The Twins could offer up lefty pitchers Francisco Liriano, Glenn Perkins, 2B Alexi Casilla, 3B Brian Buscher and a prospect to the Marlins for Dan Uggla, Jorge Cantu and lefty reliever Reynel Pinto. The Marlins need pitching and they also need to trim the payroll so this would allow them to kill two birds with one stone. Uggla and Cantu would make the Twins one of the most dangerous teams in all of baseball. Pinto would give them another power arm to team with Mijares in the bullpen. The Twins need to make something like this happen this winter if they strikeout in the free agent market for a 2B and 3B.

Here’s a move the Minnesota Twins would have to consider

The Twins need an upgrade at 3B, so with that in mind why not trade Boof Bonser to the Brewers for Bill Hall and cash? The Twins have a lot of better options than Bonser coming up in the minor league system for the rotation. Bonser has pitched in 17 games (12 starts) for the Twins this season and he is 3-6 with a 6.45 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP. Bill Hall has decent power but he has lost his full time starting job in Milwaukee. He has played in 63 games for the Brewers this year and he is 46 for 213 (.216 avg, .675 OPS) with 22 runs scored, 9 homers, 25 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. Hall is just two years removed from a season in which he hit 35 homers, scored 101 runs and drove in 85. This would likely be a move that helped both teams.
