The Minnesota Twins have added depth to their starting rotation. Kevin Correia
The Twins have signed Kevin Correia to a two-year, $10 million dollar deal. He comes to the Twins from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
He had a 4.21 ERA in 171 innings this past season in PNC Park, but now will be moving to the pitcher-friendly Target Field. Before signing with the Twins, he was offered contract proposals by the Rockies, Orioles, Brewers, Royals and a team in Japan.
He was 12-11 in 28 starts last season. He gave up 80 earned runs with 46 walks in the 171 innings.

When I think of impact moves for the 2013 season and beyond, the Twins giving Kevin Correia $10 million over two years is near the bottom of my list of all of the transactions that have happened this winter. I can't even sit here and pretend that signing Correia makes the Twins a better team, because quite frankly, it really doesn't.
The 32-year old Correia is coming...

The MLB Winter Meetings have ended. There were a lot of moves made and our Twins were in thick of it by making trades and offers to free agent pitchers for them to turn down. Then, the totally thinkable happened: an average to below average starting pitcher that literally never misses bats (well, 5.7% of the time he does) signed a two year deal. Welcome to the North, Correia...

According to Ken Rosenthal, Jason Grilli will be re-signing with the Pirates (for real this time). It’s a two year deal worth $7 million, pending a physical.
Grilli is 36 and didn’t have a great second half in 2012, but he has been a valuable part of the Pirates’ bullpen since Neal Huntington snatched him from Philly last summer. In 2012 he was quite effective as an 8th inning...
