Twins Acquire Michael Tonkin from Mets to Strengthen Bullpen

The trade aims to bolster the Twins' pitching staff amid several injuries, marking Tonkin's return to his original team.

The Minnesota Twins acquired right-hander Michael Tonkin from the New York Mets for cash considerations, aiming to bolster their injury-depleted bullpen.
Tonkin, 34, has a career 4.38 ERA and was designated for assignment by the Mets following a brief stint this season.
The Twins placed outfielder Max Kepler on the 10-day injured list due to a right knee contusion, making room for Tonkin.
Tonkin's addition comes as the Twins face several injuries among their relievers, including notable players like Jhoan Duran and Caleb Thielbar.
This trade marks Tonkin's return to the Twins, the team that originally drafted him in 2008, after various stints with other MLB teams and leagues abroad.
