Trade is agreed upon. Sent to DBacks. Will be interested to see return. 

oy.

Here we go...

They don’t have a great prospect pool last I checked. You will be missed Eddie best of luck!!!

Wonder if this means Sano will rejoin the club

 

Fogo de Chao's stock just plummeted.  

 

You will be missed Eduardo.

 

 

Quantity over quality, that's the Twins way...

At least we now know we are sellers.

Now how is Escobar going to get the Twins record for most doubles in a season?

 

On that note, he's going to get a lot more triples at Chase Field.

Let's at least see what we got before complaining.

Looking through their system quickly, think it could be a few guys. Again, just guessed:

P Emolio Vargas (15) - 7-5, 2.21 ERA at A+ ball. 136 K's in 102 IP. Fastball-slider-changeup pitcher

C Andy Yerzy (16) - Playing in the NWL. Above average power behind the plate. .867 OPS in 135 AB.

IF Domingo Leyba (18)

P Johan Duran (19)

P Juan Lopez (20)

 

Quantity over quality, that's the Twins way...

Seriously.

 

One pretty good prospect would've been much better than 3 fringe guys.

It's how we got Escobar in the first place. I wasn't pleased to get 2 minor leaguers for Liriano. It worked out.

I hope its decent. I would have extended him a qo at the end of the season.

"None of the players Arizona gave up for Escobar are top-10 prospects."

Dalton Varsho  A.A. Catcher , he is there 5th rated prospect, any thoughts on him?  i was looking at there top 30 list, guess we will find out later ??

Seriously.

Those are not the deals being offered for 2-month rentals, these days.

With how deep the Twins farm system is I hate that they're going for quantity over quality. They need players that are close to the MLB.

Dumb ass trade - Arizona's farm system is whack

They have one in Scottsdale

I'm hoping Yerzy is in the deal. Good hitting catcher, don't think he's in their top 10 but rising.

Wow...

I am assuming they have listened to all of the interest and are confident they are not going to get a better return. They could wait other teams out and hope they get desperate but you can also get caught holding an expiring contract that way.

At least play out the Boston series if you're return is minor league fodder

Hoping for Vargas, Yerzy, and Kevin Cron

Without at least one of Duplantier, Widener, Varsho or Ellis.....

He's already out of the lineup
