From the Strib:

The Red Sox have called the Twins looking for pitching. Boston is believed to be interested in lefthander J.C. Romero, who could help stabilize a bullpen that had a 5.51 ERA entering Monday -- the second-highest in the American League.

The Twins, of course, are looking for hitting, and the Red Sox might be willing to deal veteran third baseman Bill Mueller, who is batting .277 with four homers, 36 RBI and a .379 on-base percentage.
Mueller was the 2003 AL batting champion when he hit .326 with 19 homers and 85 RBI. Those numbers fell to .283, 12 and 57 last year. He is making $2.5 million and will be a free agent after the season...

And it looks like Scott Baker will be back with us soon:

With a doubleheader at Detroit coming up Saturday, the Twins will call up righthander Scott Baker from Class AAA Rochester to pitch in one of the games. Baker on Sunday held Durham to one run on two hits over eight innings, improving to 3-6 and lowering his ERA to 3.01...

To make room for Baker, the Twins will send a position player to Rochester.

Who do you think that position player might be? BG has some theories.

Also, if you haven't seen the papers on Gardy's umpire rant, please do. Here's Reusse's column

There were numerous graphic posterior references in Gardenhire's tirade -- always a problem for a daily newspaper, particularly for one that's never been more committed to family values.

and the :

"He's an (expletive),'' Gardenhire said. "Hunter Wendelstedt's a big (expletive expletive). He can kiss my (rear)."

Looks like blogging didn't help Gardy calm down.
