Despite his flaws, he was still relatively healthy last season and posted good numbers. Heeding the advice of avoiding a salary dump, the Twins netted Urshela in exchange.

The 29-year-old spent the last two years pitching in the Angels rotation with some up and down moments. Last season he posted a 6.06 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP in 90 2/3 innings.

	The Twins selected Encarnacion-Strand in the fourth round of last year&#x2019;s draft, investing in the right-handed corner infielder from Oklahoma State.

Whether it&#x2019;s game home runs, foul balls, milestones, or simple toss-ups, he&#x2019;s the best when it comes to acquiring the baseball.
