Twins Trade Pat Light

[Parker Hageman]

The Minnesota Twins have announced they have traded RHP Pat Light to the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash considerations.

 

 

Light was designated for assignment last week when the Twins claimed infielder Ehire Adrianza off the waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers.

I'm impressed they got cash, frankly. Nicely done.

Once upon a time, MLB's prospect gurus said that Light was #16 on the Twins' prospect list.

Is that an indictment of the gurus, or the shape of the system, or both?

Ray Searage is someone who can make Pat Light see the light.

Cash seems like a Light return but what do I know.

What a joke! I hate to say it but how many pitchers have the Pirates turned around and made them into quality arms? Of course, not every time will it work but Pat Light seemed to have more upside and should have been given a shot.

[ashbury]

What a joke!

Apparently the Twins' new FO couldn't stand Pat.

Cash was a pretty good artist back in the day. Pretty impressed we got him for Light.

They would have gotten the waiver fee otherwise, right? This is probably nominally a bit higher than the waiver fee?

I guess. you know, I was trying to praise the FO here, right?

The only way they deserve the praise is if they use those cash considerations to lower the beer price at Target Field.

Not going to happen.

Hell, I'd buy everyone on this board a beer if Mauer hits 30 bombs. Just not from Target Field, cuz I'm not that rich.

I hope Joe spent the winter bulking up and working on his uppercut swing

Pirates saw the light; Twins not so much.

Here are Cash's numbers so no one has to look them up.

Does "cash considerations" mean that the Pirates will see how Pat Light does, and then "consider" sending the Twins cash?
