What happened: The Minnesota Twins have acquired right-hander Tommy Nance, recently reinstated by Toronto, from the Blue Jays, per Jon Heyman. The move adds a bullpen arm as Minnesota sits at 46-48 on the season.

Why it matters: Heyman frames the trade as evidence the Twins are buying at the moment, even with a sub-.500 record. Minnesota has dropped its last game after a 4-1 stretch over its previous five, with a bullpen that has allowed 5.1 runs a game against 4.9 scored.

By the numbers: Twins are 46-48 this season, averaging 4.9 runs scored and 5.1 allowed per game, on a one-game losing streak after going 4-1 in their prior five.

What to watch: Nance's role in the Minnesota bullpen will be watched as the trade deadline approaches.
