Sergio Romo dealt to Minnesota / Sabathia on I.L.
Minnesota made its first major move ahead of Wednesday’s Trade Deadline by acquiring veteran reliever Sergio Romo, right-hander Chris Vallimont and a player to be named from the Marlins for first baseman Lewin Diaz.
If the Twins expect to reach their goals of winning the American League Central and making a deep run in the postseason, solidifying areas of need is imperative. They made their first such move on Saturday night by adding Romo to their bullpen.
Romo brings with him plenty of big-game experience, as he was a key member of the Giants' bullpen on three World Series-winning clubs.

Romo, 36, entered Saturday with a 3.58 ERA and 17 saves over 38 appearances this season. He has played for the Giants, Dodgers, Rays and Marlins during his career, posting a lifetime 2.91 ERA with 126 saves over his 12 seasons.

An overall good guy IMO. Wish it wasn't the Twins.
Now Sabathia is in the injured list (knee). Ten days, but you never know for sure. Anyone think they're ready to really deal? Stroman? Greinke?
