According to Phil Mackey of 1500ESPN.com, the Twins are talking to free agent reliever Todd Coffey.

Mackey hears that the Twins are one of "several clubs" that have showed at least mild interest in the 31-year-old right-hander. Previous reports have linked him to the Nationals, Brewers and Mets. Coffey posted a 3.62 ERA and 46/20 K/BB ratio over 59 2/3 innings last season with Washington. The Twins likely have room for one more reliever in their budget and have previously spoken with the agent for Dan Wheeler.

According to MLB.com's Bill Ladson, it's "less than 50 percent" that Todd Coffey returns to the Nationals.

Coffey has drawn interest from the Mets and Brewers, among others. The 31-year-old right-hander posted a 3.62 ERA and 46/20 K/BB ratio across 59 2/3 innings last season in the Nationals' bullpen. He would likely settle for a one-year contract with an option for 2013.

Bill Ladson of MLB.com reports that the Brewers are still interested in free agent reliever Todd Coffey.

Ladson also writes that there's a "50-50" percent chance he returns to the Nationals. Coffey, 31, posted a 3.62 ERA and 46/20 K/BB ratio over 59 2/3 innings last season in Washington. He's one of the better middle relievers left on the market.

Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that the Mets and Brewers are interested in free agent reliever Todd Coffey.

Coffey is coming off a solid 2011 season, having posted a 3.62 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 46/20 K/BB ratio over 59 2/3 innings and would make for a solid, relatively cheap middle relief option. He pitched in parts of three seasons for the Brewers prior to signing with the Nationals.

Yahoo's Tim Brown reports that the Angels are "getting more aggressive on bullpen help," with Todd Coffey among those they have considered.

Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post reported earlier that Coffey was likely to be traded soon but backed off the statement shortly after. It appears he could in fact be dealt, though, with the Halos perhaps in the driver's seat. Brown adds that "as of this moment," the Angels "won't go as big" as Heath Bell, so it appears they're looking more for setup help.

Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post is now hearing that a Todd Coffey trade is not imminent.

Forget the earlier report. The Rangers are known to have some interest in Coffey and other clubs could join the fray as the trade deadline nears, but there's no action yet on the 30-year-old right-hander.

MLB.com's Bill Ladson reports that the Rangers have inquired about Nationals reliever Todd Coffey.

The Rangers and Nats are not yet in serious discussions, but it's the kind of deal that could suddenly take shape a few weeks from now. Coffey, 30, has posted a 1.89 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 19 innings this season.

Todd Coffey returned to action on Wednesday May 18.

X-rays on Todd Coffey's pitching elbow were negative.

Coffey was removed from Sunday's game after being struck on the elbow by a Emilio Bonifacio line drive. The elbow had substantial swelling. "Obviously it's a little sore. I already did about three rounds of ice and treatment on it, the key now is just to knock the swelling down," Coffey said. "I'm going to go home and ice it continually all night, put a compression sleeve on and try to flush the swelling out. Hopefully it's just a day."

Todd Coffey was removed from Sunday's game after being struck on his pitching arm by a Emilio Bonifacio line drive.

The 30-year-old was replaced by Tyler Clippard. We'll update you on Coffey's status when a prognosis is passed along.

Nationals activated RHP Todd Coffey from the 15-Day disabled list.

The 30-year-old had a 6.23 ERA and 1.38 WHIP through 4 1/3 innings prior to hitting the shelf. He'll resume his role pitching out of middle relief.

Todd Coffey (calf) completed a running session Friday with no issues and is expected to be activated from the disabled list Sunday.

"I just did some hard sprints on the treadmill and everything felt fine," said Coffey. "(Because) it's a Woodway, you can use your own power to run it so I'd be at a dead stop and run as hard as I can off it. (There were) no issues." By the way, Coffey plans to continue his unique sprint to the mound from the bullpen, though he may make the first run at 50 percent.

Todd Coffey (calf) threw another bullpen session Thursday without any issues.

Coffey's final test will be fielding practice on Friday. He's eligible to return as soon as Sunday, though the Nationals could wait until Tuesday to activate him from the disabled list. Collin Balester will likely be sent back to the minor leagues to make room for him on the active roster.

Todd Coffey (calf) had a successful bullpen session Tuesday.

He's expected to participate in running drills Wednesday, which will probably be a bigger test. Barring a setback, Coffey is likely to be activated from the DL when he's eligible on April 24.

Nationals placed RHP Todd Coffey on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 9, with a strained left calf.

We were wondering why he hadn't appeared in a game for so long, and now we know why. Because the move was made retroactively, he can come off the DL on April 24. Collin Balester was called up to take his place.

Todd Coffey will earn $1.35 million on his new one-year contract.

Coffey inked the deal with the Nationals last week and it was made final on Monday evening once his physical was completed. The 30-year-old is expected to operate in middle relief this year in the nation's capital.

Nationals signed RHP Todd Coffey to a one-year contract.

Exact terms haven't been released. Coffey, 30, was non-tendered by the Brewers last month after posting a 4.76 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 62 1/3 innings last season. However, with a solid groundball rate, league average command and the ability to miss bats, he's a pretty solid bet for a bounceback season.

According to Bill Ladson of MLB.com, the Nationals have agreed to a contract with Todd Coffey, pending a physical.

As expected. Coffey, 30, was non-tendered in December after posting a mediocre 4.76 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 62 1/3 innings with the Brewers last season, but he has the reputation as a solid middle relief option.

According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, the Nationals are "closing in" on free agent reliever Todd Coffey.

We'd love to see this, just so Coffey can run out in the middle of the Presidents' Race. The 30-year-old right-hander was non-tendered by the Brewers in December after posting a 4.76 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 62 1/3 innings last season. He's a better pitcher than his numbers showed in 2010.

Brewers non-tendered RHP Todd Coffey.

Coffey, 30, registered an ugly 4.76 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 62 1/3 innings this past season. He would have gained a raise via arbitration from the $2.025 million that he earned in 2010 and the Brewers wanted to avoid that kind of payout. The righty should find offers on the open market.
