Miami Sends
O'Neil Cruz rookie 0.7
Joe Perez Rookie 0.2

Minnesota Sends
Seth Lugo RP 3.06/arb2/arb3

Miami is receiving a multi inning RP that could still get a look in the rotation in the future. We are very happy to have Seth Lugo join the team.

Oneil Cruz has been turning heads since his arrival in Pittsburgh. He has a high variance in potential outcomes; if he reaches his ceiling, the Twins will be very pleased with this deal in a few years.

Joe Perez had himself a nice pro debut but has years of development ahead of him.

We wish them both the best with their new team.

Thanks Adam for the negotiations, and good luck to you.

Continuing to round out our farm Minnesota is happy to pick up a couple of promising prospects for Seth Lugo. The main target here is Cruz. A towering SS prospect still trying to figure out his own size. Drafted at 6’1 and now standing at 6’7. He is an Aaron Judge-like IF prospect with some scouts claiming he has 80 grade power potential. The question is if he can figure out his hit tool with that frame. He adds another intriguing prospect to our farm.

Joe Perez is a two way stand out. He can hit 97 but stopped pitching due to an elbow injury. Regardless, Hou wants him to hit and he projects to have a strong hit tool with some pop. He gives us a 3B prospect we like since we don’t have this area well covered in our minors.

Lugo was straight up filthy last year but at 27 he isn’t in our rebuild timeline. We wish him the best of luck in Miami.

Thanks Dave for the trade talks.
