Twins intrigued by Hawkins
By LA VELLE E. NEAL III, Star Tribune

July 29, 2008

The Twins are interested in former teammate LaTroy Hawkins to help shore up their bullpen, according to two persons familiar with the situation.

Hawkins was designated for assignment Saturday by the Yankees, after they landed reliever Damaso Marte from the Pirates, and the Yankees have 10 days either to trade him or send him through waivers. Hawkins, 35, went 1-1 with a 5.41 ERA in 33 appearances for the Yankees, but the Twins' thinking is that a return to where he developed into a good setup man could turn his season around.

Hawkins posted a 2.13 ERA in 2002 and 1.86 in 2003 after working with pitching coach Rick Anderson. He's played for the Cubs, Giants, Orioles, Rockies and Yankees since then.

If Hawkins is dealt, the acquiring team would have to pay roughly $1.25 million of the $3.75 million he's making this season. If he's released by the Yankees, he could sign with any club for the league minimum, but Hawkins has drawn enough interest from clubs that a trade seems more likely.

Hawkins could help solve some of the recent eighth-inning issues the Twins have had.
