After a quick offer and acceptance the Twins & D-Backs have come to an agreement on the following deal...
D-Backs get: Ryan Merritt, SP, Indians. 2018/.2M - prospect
Twins get: Josh Tobias, SS, Boston. 2018/.6M - prospect Blake Perkins, OF, Nationals. 2018/.4M - prospect
The D-Backs hate to see Tobias and Perkins go as both are decent young prospects, but you have to give to receive. In Merritt we are getting a quality young SP, who based on his limited opportunities at the big league level the past 2 years, can definitely pitch. He buys us some depth and could end up in the Indians rotation. At worst he will be dealt to a team where he can start or be in the Tribe bullpen as a swingman since he is currently out of options. A lot will depend on Salazar's arm which does not look good at the moment. We wanted to make this deal to buy some depth since we also own Tomlin, the probable Tribe 5th SP.
Thanks to the Twins GM for helping make this deal happen.

The Twins confirm.
After our recent trade activity we have added some arms to the farm. We are wiling to parlay Merritt into two prospect bats that increases our lotto chances.
Thanks Arizona for the trade and best of luck this season.
