ST. LOUIS It s Jose Berrios turn to pitch Friday night. Which is why Griffin Jax flew to Missouri on Thursday.
Jax, technically still a member of the St. Paul Saints, will presumably start the opener of a three-game series with the Cardinals for the Twins if Berrios, one of the most sought-after players on MLB s robust trade market, is dealt to a contender before Friday s 3 p.m. deadline a prospect that grows more likely as more teams enter the bidding.
The Blue Jays and Rays, according to major league sources with knowledge of the Twins maneuvering, have joined three NL West teams and, according to an MLB Network report, the Red Sox and Mariners as serious competitors for the two-time All-Star. The Twins are also trying to interest some of those suitors in a less costly alternative Michael Pineda as the scramble for championship-caliber upgrades intensifies.
