A Single-A pitcher and player to be named later is not a lot to get in return for Matt Garza.

Don't know anything about this pitcher we're getting back but I'm glad to be rid of D-Young. He's got so much potential but lacks heart. He also looks like he is on ice skates in the outfield.

Good for the Twins. I still don't know why pitchers even throw strikes to this guy. Swings at everything under the sun. Now: get rid of Cuddyer--he is 32 & is not worth more than a 2 year deal...which is what he wants. Kubel as well. Let the gutting begin...

atta boy Bill Smith. Traded something of value to a team within the division for .... NOTHING!! Well at least we have plenty of young right handed hitters with decent ceilings ... oh oooops!! I guess Smith and the Pohlads are comfortable with 3rd place and sell outs.

As if anyone in this organization can evaluate talent....a 10th round draft pick?! Here's hoping Delmon hands it to them this week.

The Twins limit their season tickets to 25,000. Continued to be amazed at the sell-outs at Target Field. For what?
