Rockies agree to acquire Slowey from Twins
DALLAS — The Rockies have agreed to acquire right-handed pitcher Kevin Slowey from the Twins for a player to be named.
Slowey, 27, is coming off a difficult 2011 in which he struggled a switch to the bullpen early, battled forearm and abdominal injuries, and finished the year 0-6 with a 6.67 ERA in 14 appearances, including eight starts.
Slowey went 13-6 with a 4.45 ERA in 30 games, 28 starts, in 2010.
