The Twins did no such thing. They exposed Baddoo at the beginning of the offseason and claimed Garlick at the beginning of spring training. Between those two dates, an entire offseason happened, replete with signings and moves. You’re stretching hard to link a Rule V loss to a flyer taken to open spring training, something teams do all the time. Players like Baddoo are why the Rule V draft exists at all; to drain deep, competitive organizations of fringe talent and feed that talent to lesser teams, allowing buried players to get a chance in MLB.
