If you're in Fort Myers on Thursday....come watch a game

It's not an official spring training game, but the Twins and Red Sox will play nine innings on Thursday.

We'll have baseball for you tomorrow here at Hammond Stadium when the Twins and Red Sox play a B game designed to give them opportunities to look at some of the 30-something pitchers they have in camp.

Here's a list of who is playing:


Pitchers: Scott Baker, Nick Blackburn, Liam Hendriks, Jeff Manship, Jason Bulger, Carlos Gutierrez, Tyler Robinson, Brendan Wise and Deolis Guerra. Robertson is the only lefthander.

As you can see, each pitcher will throw one inning.

Outfield: The starting outfield will consist of Ben Revere, Joe Benson and Rene Tosoni. Wasn't this the starting outfield in September?

Infield: Around the horn it's Aaron Bates, Pedro Florimon, Brian Dozier and Ray Chang. J.R. Towles is the catcher.

Game time is noon. Admission is free. It's unclear if concessions will be served.

Jon Lester, Daniel Bard and Jesse Carlson are among the pitchers Boston will use.

Trade talks among front offices have continued to pick up over the last week. The Twins are seeking bullpen help and possibly an infielder.
