Bowden Has Two Deals On The TableAccording to Jayson Stark, Jim Bowden reportedly has two teams he can do an Alfonso Soriano deal with right now, one is an American League team and the other is in the National League. The Twins are reportedly the team from the AL, as the A's have dropped out of the running.

It is unknown whether the A's would keep Soriano or re-package him in another deal. Oakland GM Billy Beane has a history of working three-way deals, but if the A's hope to contend this season, Soriano makes sense because Oakland's offense is strongly lacking.

Lohse was 2-5 with a 7.07 ERA in 22 appearances for the Twins this season. A member of the Twins rotation at the start of the year, Lohse made eight starts before being demoted to Triple-A Rochester on May 17 after going 2-4 with an 8.92 ERA. Twins general manager Terry Ryan had been shopping Lohse to other clubs since the demotion. Ward, 22, went 7-0 with a 2.29 ERA and 95 strikeouts in 20 appearances -- 18 starts -- this season with the Class A Dayton Dragons of the Midwest League. Ward was the Reds' third-round selection in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft.

The 35-year-old Redmond is one of the team's most popular locker room presences and has been backing up All-Star Joe Mauer throughout this season. Mauer leads the majors in hitting with a .375 average, but Redmond is also doing a solid job on that front as a backup hitting .333 with eight doubles and 14 RBI in 29 games this season, most of the time playing in a day game after a night game.
