Rumor from Pioneer Press and Ben Maller

Matt Garza for Carlos Quentin. I would love to see this happen. We need quality, young starting pitchers.

Has the Pioneer Press ever been right about anything?

Was the Pioneer Press the one that had all of the Fitzgerald rumors?

Exactly.

Just saw on ESPN that the Twins and Rays are close to a multi-player deal that would send Delmon Young, former Prescott High star Jason Pridie, and SS Brandon Harris to the Twins for Garza, Juan Rincon, and Jason Bartlett. There is no way hell the Twins would trade for Carlos Quentin with that type of talent on the table from the Rays.

That would be a great trade for the Twins

 

[Delmon Young]

I've been traded? Ah well, I guess I'm a Twins fan now.

If that goes through, that's a really weird trade. You only hit 13 home runs last season and struck out a ton, but you're young with 40+ HR potential.

Sure Matt Garza has dominated in AAA, but all he's done in the major leagues is give up 158 hits in 133 innings. That's not someone you trade a former #1 overall pick for.

It is done.

Wow, the Twins got a lot of talent in that deal. Young and Harris could be very good for a long time. Pridie could be great for the Twins, too.

Very surprising deal

I like Garza and Bartlett is solid, but IMO Tampa got completely fleeced in that deal.

Serves them right for getting Scott Kazmir for Victor Zambrano.
