Minnesota's new regime is taking steps to future proof the club's roster and replenish the very thin farm. To that end we make the tough choice to deal the most productive player in the league. The players we are getting back for Kluber here all fit our new near and long term goals. We are particularly exited to land Bichette as the headliner. Along with two young MLB arms on controllable contracts in Musgrove and Pivetta.

We did entertain several offers, and hope by accepting one, we have not alienated other future trade partners. We would not have accepted a lessor return for the top player in this format and annual Cy Young candidate. 

Thanks Braves for the smooth negotiations and best of luck. Atlanta to confirm.

My number 1 need was a frontline sp and been tying to get one for a bit now. I was prepared to give a lot and it is a risk to give up a ton for one player but I believe Kluber gives this team a chance to make a run into the playoffs.

Thank you as well Twins for the smooth negotiations.
