Yankees / Twins trade

[Jonathan]

SS O'neill Cruz
SP John Means Y5 2.95m

for

C Samuel Basallo
OF Braylin Tavera
SS Leonardo Arias
SS Axel Sanchez
OF Jose Rodriguez


Twins move Cruz in this deal. With Boegarts/Lindor, this was a needed move to turn him into a position of need C/1B and a collection of top 30 guys. We are still strong at SS organizationally.  Good luck sir!

confirms.

With the Wander Franco ridiculousness, we were desperately in need of an SS and Cruz is a nice fit on this roster. Means should be back in April and helps fill out my rotation.

It kills me to move Basallo. As an Os fan, I think he is going to be huge, but he?s still a year or two away and will likely not be a C, if he stays in Baltimore. So it made sense to make the move. Thanks @Jonathan and good luck!
