With the injury to Max Kepler, hopefully it's not season ending. Wouldn't Melky Cabrera be a good addition to the team? Solid veteran & could be better than the in house alternatives.

.746 OPS last year.  Switch hitter. 

 

Got to be better than current spare OF options.

if the FO feels wade can do it then no but if they aren't confident in him then yeah why not.

He looks like Grossman statistically. Solid but I am not sure I make this move.

 

Grossman - Granite - Cave - Wade 

 

Obviously if both Buxton and Kepler are out for an extended chunk of time it isn't good but the Twins do have some options in the OF.

I left off Lamarre since I don't really understand why he would be any good despite his spring and limited AB's that show him as a legit option.

Promote Wade.

 

Barely younger than Max.

Melky Cabrera does not belong in a contender.

 

The one thing the Twins can do to upgrade their OF situation (and have a plan B for Buxton's next migraines) would be to ship Grossman to Baltimore and see if they are willing to eat about half of Adam Jones's salary ($17M) and call it a day.

Jones is a better defender. Other than that, there's not a great deal of difference between Jones and Melky Cabrera.

What about the $12-15M less it would cost for Cabrera & no prospects lost as well.
