The Minnesota Twins made their first major addition to the 2018 version of the Twins on Thursday, signing Fernando Rodney to a 1-year $6 million deal to be the teams closer. This looks like a really good signing for the Twins as Rodney almost looks better with age like some fine wine, but the bullpen additions shouldn’t stop there.
The Twins bullpen in 2017 was surprisingly much better than expected. Many of those surprising pieces are returning but it doesn’t seem wise that every pitcher the Twins are currently relying on for bullpen help will take steps forward in 2018.
