Report: Twins Acquire Sergio Romo From Marlins for Pair of Prospects

The Marlins have traded veteran reliever Sergio Romo to the Twins, according to Betsy Helfand of the Pioneer Press.

Miami will receive a pair of prospects—first baseman Lewin Diaz and pitcher Chris Vallimont—in exchange for Romo, reports MLB Network's Jon Heyman.

Acquiring Romo provides much-needed assistance to the Twins' struggling bullpen, which ranks 14th in ERA (4.41) in Major League Baseball. (Minnesota's starting rotation is seventh with a 4.08 ERA.) One of the bullpen's latest implosions came in Wednesday night's thrilling 14-12 loss to the Yankees in 10 innings. The Twins' bullpen allowed nine runs in the final two innings.
