The Twins have interest in three free-agent pitchers, but they'll exercise patience with their targets. Minnesota has been linked to Carl Pavano, who helped lead the Twins to the postseason, Jarrod Washburn and Rich Harden. For now, they are looking to improve from within. "There's some choices [on the free agent market], and we have choices internally," general manager Bill Smith said. "The best thing we can do is get [Kevin] Slowey, [Boof] Bonser and [Pat] Neshek back healthy. Those three plus [Glen] Perkins. If we can get those four back healthy, that's as good as any trade we can make, or any signing we can make."
