Great deal for the Twins as they have a good setup guy for one of the best closers if not THE best closer in the game. Along with Rincon, this is a great bullpen which helped them win the division last year. And to think they were going to trade him for Jason Jennings.Twins agreed to terms with RHP Jesse Crain to a three-year contract.
The deal only buys out two of Crain's arbitration-eligible seasons, meaning the line benefit the Twins receive is cost certainty. Craig is not eligible for free agency until after 2010.
