According to Chris Cotillo, the Twins have traded Red Wings LH RP Sean Burnett to the Washington Nationals.

 

The Twins had signed the former All Star to a minor league deal following his release by the Atlanta Braves. He didn't pitch for the Twins in the big leagues.

 

 

 

Huh. I assume cash?

Brunette had an opt out

This was not a trade

It was a trade, most likely for cash... probably $1-2. 

 

Sounds like he gave up his opt-out in June with the understanding that if a big league job with a team opened up, he could be dealt. The Nationals said they'll call him up for September.

Good luck to him. 

There go our wild card chances.

Who replaces him in the Rochester bullpen?  Jones and Melotakis should warrant consideration, no?

Eh, split the difference and call it a buck and a half.

To answer my own question, from the daily recap article, Burnett's replacement is (former all-star) Edward Mujica.

 

 Quite the year for this veteran.

Glen Campbell is a better fit for guys traded to the Diamondbacks -- By the time I get to Phoenix. 

 

 

 

My humble apologies. I somehow confused Leaving On A Jet Plane with Gentle On My Mind. Right lyric, wrong singer. It's been a long, hard summer, and not just in the dugout.

Not to worry. This is TD, where our door is always open and our path is free to walk.

I understand none of these references.
