La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune heard from an insider source that the Twins aren’t far apart in contract negotiations with Eric Gagne.
A second source cautioned that the team is looking at several relievers, and that Gagne is only one of them, but it appears the Twins are finally close to inking some bullpen help. Gagne, 33, posted a 3.52 ERA after the All-Star break last season. He had a 5.44 ERA in 50 appearances overall.
