The Twinkies signed Jaque Jones to a 2-year $7.1 million contract, avoiding arbitration. Will the Bucs now make them an offer they can't refuse? The Twins are loaded with solid OF prospects, many of whom I have seen tear it up in New Britain. Or, will the Bucs trade for one of their ready for prime time players? Mike Cuddyer or Mike Restovich would look good in LF.

Or even Mike Ryan ... mid to late 20's, I believe he hit 30+ homers last year and he's from Ebensburg I believe.

I doubt it's a prelude to a trade, though. If we get any of Minnesota's plethora of outfielders, it will be someone who is still a prospect. I wouldn't be surprised if DL waits to see if the Twins waive one of them and then he picks up the player that way.
