Twins trade Donaldson, kiner for Gary Sanchez and Urshela


Recommended Posts

I bet they are thrilled to get out from under Donaldson’s contract.  Urshela has always killed us, but I’ll take Sanchez’s potential for killing us over Garver’s proven success against us. Twins have radically reshaped, not sure they are better.  Interesting moves, though.

Unless the Twins are planning on Correa or some other home run signing, I have no idea what they are doing, besides cutting salary.

Yeah, they're apparently in on Story. Weird to trade for 2 years of Sonny Gray then turn around and deal your 3B and newly acquired SS.

You win more games with pitching. Plus Donaldson was making far too much money for what he is worth.  Better use if the resources elsewhere.

Sanchez looks like a guy that isn't really a catcher much longer. Seems like a salary dump first move to help team 2nd. Yankees always seem to find these deals. At least Donaldson is out of the division and it's at the Twinkies' expense this time.

Yeah it was said that Sanchez would DH and be the backup catcher. They already have Sano as well who should mostly DH.

With MLB going to a more balanced schedule is doesn't matter that he is out of the division.  The Sox will see nearly as often as when he was with the Twins.

I agree. I just meant it would be weird to not do anything else. At this rate, they might as well grab Story, 2 of Greinke, Pineda, Cueto and hope for a lightning in a bottle season.
