ATL / MIN

[Minnesota Twins]

Minnesota trades:

Jose Ramirez- 16.5 / 16.5 / 19.8 / TO 24.75
Manuel Margot - 4.59 / 4.59 / 4.59
Landon Sims - prospect
Trey Lipscomb - prospect

To the Atlanta Braves for:

Shohei Ohtani - 41.5 / 41.5 / 41.5
* Atlanta to provide 50% salary coverage in 2024 / 25% salary coverage in 2025
Jose Miranda - 1 / ARB1 / ARB2 / ARB3
George Valera - prospect

Minny agrees.

We think our team is in a position where we can absorb the Ohtani contract and still be competitive without JRam. It’s an interesting direction and I’ve never personally had some ohtani stock so looking forward to next year when he’s pitching. Getting Miranda / George adds some cheaper and valuable depth for us consider the cost of Shohei

3B was a position of need with Miranda failing me. I still think he could get moved and produce somewhere but that’s definitely not a sure thing, and I get top production with Jram at a position of need which allows me to move one of my two LF only guys to UT.

While reluctant to deal Valera he has lost some luster the last few years so he wasn’t a deal breaker while we return some OF depth in Margo as well as getting a good amount of salary relief in 2025 and 2026.

Thanks twins. Good luck
