Twins Add Another Piece To Compete In AL Central

The Minnesota Twins have acquired star closer Matt Capps from the Washington Nationals. The deal went down late Thursday night where the Nationals received stud prospect Wilson Ramos and minor league left-hander Joe Testa. Capps addition clearly brings more depth to a team that trails the Chicago White Sox by just 1 1/2 games. Every team but the Minnesota had a little something to smile about when Joe Nathan was forced to have Tommy John surgery during spring training. With Jon Rauch moved to a set up role to make room for Capps the team will be pitching hard the entire game.
