Braves-Twins

[Deleted]

Atlanta and Minnesota have reached a trade agreement.

Minnesota sends:

Joe Mauer 1B  $18m- 2019, UFA 2020    1/2 paid by Twins= $9m 


Atlanta sends;


Garrett Williams SP SF pc $.2m 

Art Warren RP SEA  pc- $.2m 


We were not going to be competitive this year so we move a still productive vet in the last year of his contract. In return we get two lotto tickets in the arms of Garrett Williams who we like as an under the radar prospect, and a potential 2018/19 BP arm in Warren who has flashed some upside. We have the cap room so have no problem covering half of Mauer's salary.


Best of Luck this season Atlanta and thanks for the trade!

Looking to win this year, I’m
Hoping to get Some help as depth if nothing else from the rental Mauer who’s good days are well behind him but should see the AB’s at least.

Thanks Twins, and good luck with your two new arms!
