MPR’s Lorna Benson talks with Kevin Hennessy, an analyst for Total Sports Publications, about the Minnesota Twins signing starting pitcher Brad Radke to a new four-year contract worth a reported $36 million. The deal will keep the right-hander with the club through 2004. Radke joined the Twins in 1995. He would have been eligible for free agency at the end of this season.
Hennessy says the Twins management had a good reason to keep Radke on the payroll.
