Loser: Twins

WHAT WAS THAT?!? Getting Trevor Richards and his 4.50 ERA for minor leaguer Jay Harry as a PR move so you can say, “We did actually make a trade.” I know there isn’t much money to work with, and we understood there wasn’t going to be a blockbuster move.

The Twins had movable pieces and prospect depth to work with without gutting the system. But you couldn’t go get a lefty reliever? A mid-level starter? A backup center fielder? You cannot tell me that Jake Cave would be that expensive. The Twins have played really well this year and are a legitimate playoff contender. We weren’t asking them to do a lot, just do something. And they didn’t really do anything.
