Twins acquire Capps
The Minnesota Twins have acquired closer Matt Capps in a trade with the Washington Nationals.
The Twins sent a top catching prospect and another minor leaguer to Washington in exchange for Capps.
Surprisingly, the Twins have already announced that Capps will retain the closer’s role with them.
That means that closer Jon Rauch will move into the setup role, which can’t make him too happy.
Ironically, both Rauch and Capps were with the Nationals and were acquired in back-to-back seasons by the Twins.
