New Trade Rumor?

Joe Christensen, baseball writer for the Star-Tribune, was being interviewed this afternoon on "The Beat with Charlie Steiner". He states the latest trade rumor around the Twins organization has Ty Wigginton going to the Twins to help "jump start" their offense. He sees Wigginton adding a bit of fire to their lineup, just like Shannon Stewart did a few years back.

First, I hope this rumor has no merit to it. I love the versatility he brings to the Rays. He brings a high level work ethic, no matter where the Rays play him on a given night. All of the young up and coming players should look at the way he plays the game and learn from him.

Secondly, however, if they do receive an offer too good to pass up, I hope it includes one or two of the Twins fine bullpen arms.

I feel if the Twins want "Wiggy" that much, they're going to have to come up with a deal that is really worthwhile.
