Minny / Detroit trade

[Minnesota Twins]

Minny Trades:

Albert Pujols (LAA): 19/40 million (Minny absorbs 20 mil for 2019)
Joe McCarthy (TB): 0.2 prospect

Detroit Trades:

Ian Happ (CHC): 19: 1 mil, 20: Arb 1 21: Arb 2 22: Arb 3
Jeimer Candelario (DET): 19: 1 mil 20: 1 mil 21: Arb 1 22: Arb 2 23: Arb 3

Minnesota accepts. Albert Pujols is on a contract that can’t be extendable and pairing him with McCarthy gives me a couple upside players that are working through some problems at a reasonable price. It makes sense to try to find some upside with my MLB players that can’t be controlled beyond 2019.

Thanks to Detroit for the quick trade talks.

[Detroit Tigers]

Detroit accepts.
Pujols will give me a 1b i need even if just for rest of year. Pujols not doing to bad and could be a little cog to try and make a division run that will be tough to do but is possiblw. Giving happ and candalerio could help minny longer term if these guys get past their current yr issues but Detroit feels they were expendable presently to give them a chance to possibly make a miraculous 2nd half run

Thanks to minny for his willingness to work on deals.
