Twins - Giants Trade

[Flash]

Twins trade:
C Buck, John, $2.5m (2015)
OF Dyson, Jarrod, $1m (2013)

Giants trade:
MI Ellis, Mark, $4m (2013)
CI-OF Austin, Tyler, $0.5m (P-n/a)
OF Brown, Gary, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Although Mark Ellis is a capable MI, I wasn't going to be able to re-sign him.  Gary Brown is an OF prospect that has not progressed as much as the Giants thought he would and keeps falling further and further down the promotion ladder.  Didn't like giving up Tyler Austin, but here again, he is a falling star that is battling injury and has not shown the power he was once thought to possess. 

In return I'm getting a serviceable C with a decent contract in John Buck.  Jarrod Dyson is an OF who is already in the major leagues and who is starting to play everyday.  In addition, his extension will fit my limited budget.

I ask the Trade Council to approve this trade.

Buck is a decent catcher but not what I am looking for long term. I get two prospects who can hopefully turn out to be something in the future. I won't resign Ellis but maybe I could flip him to another team before deadline.
