Giants - Twins Trade - 7/28/15 - 4:58 am ET

[Flash]

Giants trade:
SP Guthrie, Jeremy, $4m (2016)   
X-SP Guthrie, Jeremy, $3.0m in 2015, Cash Exchanged on Contract
OF Cousino, Austin, $0.5m (P-n/a) 
MI Marin, Adrian, $0.5m (P-n/a)   
C Hicks, John, $0.5m (P-n/a) 


Twins trade:   
SP Cashner, Andrew, $0.5m in 2015, then $7.0m (2019)   
CI/MI/OF Holt, Brock, $0.5m (2015)   

With this trade, I am essentially getting a half season rental in Brock Holt and a SP upgrade in Andrew Cashner.  I am trading away two prospects that are in the top 15 in the Mariners organization and another that is in the top 20 for the Orioles.  I am paying $3.0m of Guthrie's contract in 2015 to make the cap work.  I get some players for a playoff run and the Twins get some cap relief and some prospects.

Twins need to confirm.
