The Minnesota Twins bullpen looked improved in many ways after this past offseason, but as the season has gone on the bullpen has struggled. One of the glaring needs was for a long reliever, something the Twins broke camp without. That has been addressed as Monday into Tuesday Alan Busenitz was optioned back to Triple-A Rochester and Tyler Duffey was called up to the majors.
As both Taylor Rogers and Trevor Hildenberger are working through early season issues and Addison Reed hit some unexpected bumps in Tampa Bay, the Twins may have to give up a luxury they thought they had.
