Twins To Acquire Kevin Jepsen
By Steve Adams [July 31, 2015 at 1:27pm CDT]

1:27pm: The Rays will be getting minor league righties Chih-Wei Hu and Alexis
Tapia from the Twins, tweets La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis
Star-Tribune.

12:59pm: The Twins and Rays are in agreement on a trade that will send
right-hander Kevin Jepsen to Minnesota, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports
(on Twitter).

Bullpen help has been the Twins’ primary need for quite some time, as the team
lacks quality setup options for Glen Perkins, with the possible exception of
converted starter Trevor May, who has recently been handling the eighth inning
in Minnesota. Blaine Boyer, Aaron Thompson, Brian Duensing and Casey Fien have
all had struggles at various times this year, with Thompson already having been
shipped to Triple-A.

Jepsen, 31, should provide some stability, though he isn’t necessarily an
elite upgrade. He has a solid track record dating back to 2012 (3.12 ERA in
187 1/3 innings), but his strikeout rate and control have both taken a step
back in 2015. Jepsen’s averaged 4.3 walks per nine against 7.3 strikeouts per
nine, both of which are departures from his career marks and his rates in
recent seasons. Even without a return to his previous strikeout levels, though,
Jepsen will improve the strikeout rate in a Twins bullpen that handily ranks
last in the Majors in strikeout.

Jepsen is earning $3.025MM in 2015 and is controllable through the 2016 season,
so he’ll likely be ticketed for a raise into the mid-$4MM range or so this
winter.

Jepsen被交易至雙城，換來的胡智為成為光芒隊史上第一位臺灣球員。
