Dodgers / Twins Trade

Dodgers send Joey Bart + Miguel Andujar to Twins for Alex Verdugo

With Andujar, Cutch + Simmons all going down, Dodgers' lineup was scuffling.  Verdugo gives us a team friendly contract now for Andujar next year, and while giving him up was tough, with Kingery qualifying at 3B, it made the move easier.  Parting with Joey Bart was tough, but a necessary part of the deal.

Thanks to Twins GM for a quick and easy deal, and best of luck with Andujar + Bart

The Minnesota Twins accept. While this deal gives us a bit of uncertainty due to Miguel’s injury... Kirilloff is our future RF. With that, and seeing how a healthy Andrujar performs we believe it was the right deal for us. Bart gives us a solid C in the future. With the Dodgers depth and unwillingness to trade Verdugo in the last offseason it’s hard to know if a spot will stay available for him. All in all the deal made sense for us. Best of luck to LAD and Verdugo.
