Cain and Hammels sign with Twins
Moments after signing veteran righthander James Sheilds, the Minnesota Twins have now officially signed Jason Hammels and Matt Cain. GM Jeremy Crouse thinks this team is shaping up to be a real contender for the postseason. With the team we have here right now, i believe we will make a playoff run, we still need to sign some reievers but I really think this franchise is heading in the right direction for a playoff spot at the end of the season. Of course you never know what can happen with injuries, but if we can stay healthy, we can be real good.
