Twins Add Veteran Lawrence to Bullpen

The Twins just pulled off a savvy bullpen move, snagging veteran pitcher Justin Lawrence from the Pirates before he hit waivers. Known for his sidearm delivery and nasty sinker, Lawrence brings big league experience without costing Minnesota a prospect or active roster spot. Though his ERA with Pittsburgh hasn’t been stellar, he’s a strikeout machine with a proven closer pedigree — 11 saves last year with the Rockies. With the Pirates needing roster space, this was a no-brainer for Minnesota, who’ll make a corresponding move before Tuesday’s game. If Lawrence can find the zone more consistently, he could be a late-inning weapon as the season heats up. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
