What happened: The Detroit Tigers traded right-handed reliever Woo-Suk Go to the Minnesota Twins in a cash deal on Sunday. The Korean reliever is now in line to make his MLB debut with Minnesota. The move adds bullpen depth for the Twins at a low acquisition cost.

Why it matters: Minnesota has leaned on its bullpen through an uneven stretch, and a cash pickup is a low-risk way to add an arm without surrendering roster talent. For Detroit, moving Go for cash clears a spot while returning flexibility. The debut angle gives the Twins a fresh option late in games as they try to climb back toward .500.

By the numbers: The Twins enter at 43-47 on the season, scoring 4.9 runs per game while allowing 5.2 — a run-prevention gap that underscores the need for bullpen reinforcement. Minnesota has gone 3-2 over its last five.

What to watch: Watch when the Twins activate Go and how manager deploys him in leverage spots. His first MLB outing will be the early test of the pickup.
