ATL/MIN

[Atlanta Braves]

Braves Get

SP Y Chirinos TB 1, 1, Arb1, Arb2, Arb3, UFA

Twins Get

1B N Lowe TB Prospect
SP L Medina NYY Prospect
P A Munoz SD Prospect

Chirinos has had a nice year and I’m in need of MLB pitching for the future. I’d like to him generate some more K’s to jump his ppg up a bit but he’s been steady. Giving Up 3 very talented prospects but I feel like this move makes sense for the direction I am headed.

[Minnesota Twins]

The twins accept.

Chirinos has had a good year and we feel we did our best to maximize his value. Lowe is a solid hitting prospect that fills a position we don’t have covered too well in our minors. I tend to stray away from first baseman prospects due to their lack of athleticism can sometimes pigeon hole a player into 1B or DH and it can be hard to find ABs (less open spots). But Lowe I do believe could be a solid bat for years to come. Medina is a coin flip. Who knows what he’ll be but he has tons of talent and and effortless delivery. No one knows where it’s going though. Time will tell if he can iron out his command. Munoz is an electric back end arm and helps fill the hole created when we moved Mclanahan and Burdi a couple days ago.

We are happy with the deal and wish Yonny the best in Atlanta.
