Derek Falvey says the #MNTwins feel like they have bullpen depth and are more focused on NRI additions to that group.
"We’ve kept kind of a high bar on what we’re going to prioritize there. ... Focusing on roster additions in that space has not been our focus of late."
..
More Falvey on bullpen:
"We’ve been open to the right bullpen fit, but we aren’t necessarily just looking to maybe plug somebody with a little bit more service time that’s going to not fit towards the middle to back end of a game."
.
"No setbacks, no concern" for Alex Kirilloff early in camp, Falvey says.
"AK has been in a great spot. Our strength guys said [the wrist is] probably in as good of a spot as they've seen him coming into camp, where he's at. The early returns on swinging are very positive."
Falvey says there aren't any starters converting to short relief this spring (like Jax did this time last year). Says Cole Sands is "probably the closest thing" to that, but they'll build him out to start. Josh Winder is also building up as a starter..
