Twins Trade Eduardo Escobar

[Mill1634]

 

Trade is agreed upon. Sent to DBacks. Will be interested to see return.

oy.

[John Kelsey]

Here we go...

[Foghorn Leghorn]

They don’t have a great prospect pool last I checked. You will be missed Eddie best of luck!!!

[Mill1634]

Wonder if this means Sano will rejoin the club

[Puckett34]

Fogo de Chao's stock just plummeted.  

 

You will be missed Eduardo.

Quantity over quality, that's the Twins way...

[Loosey]

At least we now know we are sellers.

[Respy]

Now how is Escobar going to get the Twins record for most doubles in a season?

 

On that note, he's going to get a lot more triples at Chase Field.

Let's at least see what we got before complaining.

[Mill1634]

Looking through their system quickly, think it could be a few guys. Again, just guessed:

P Emolio Vargas (15) - 7-5, 2.21 ERA at A+ ball. 136 K's in 102 IP. Fastball-slider-changeup pitcher

C Andy Yerzy (16) - Playing in the NWL. Above average power behind the plate. .867 OPS in 135 AB.

IF Domingo Leyba (18)

P Johan Duran (19)

P Juan Lopez (20)

Seriously.

 

One pretty good prospect would've been much better than 3 fringe guys.

It's how we got Escobar in the first place. I wasn't pleased to get 2 minor leaguers for Liriano. It worked out.

[TheMatt]

I hope its decent. I would have extended him a qo at the end of the season.

"None of the players Arizona gave up for Escobar are top-10 prospects."

 

per John Gambadoro on Twitter

[mrmpls]

Dalton Varsho  A.A. Catcher , he is there 5th rated prospect, any thoughts on him?  i was looking at there top 30 list, guess we will find out later ??

[ashbury]

Seriously.

Those are not the deals being offered for 2-month rentals, these days.

With how deep the Twins farm system is I hate that they're going for quantity over quality. They need players that are close to the MLB.

[Mill1634]

[NewClearHarley]

Dumb ass trade - Arizona's farm system is whack

They have one in Scottsdale

[purppride1]

I'm hoping Yerzy is in the deal. Good hitting catcher, don't think he's in their top 10 but rising.

Wow...

[jorgenswest]

I am assuming they have listened to all of the interest and are confident they are not going to get a better return. They could wait other teams out and hope they get desperate but you can also get caught holding an expiring contract that way.

[lukeduke1980]

At least play out the Boston series if you're return is minor league fodder

[Mill1634]

Hoping for Vargas, Yerzy, and Kevin Cron

[Rigby]

Without at least one of Duplantier, Widener, Varsho or Ellis.....

He's already out of the lineup
