MIN / ARI

[Minnesota Twins (Donavan)]

The twins and d'backs have agreed on the following trade-

Twins send-

SS - Alfredo Rodriguez (CIN) - $0.2 Minor

IFA $1.0

D'Backs send-

3B - Rio Ruiz (BAL) - $0.5 (2020), $1.0 (2021), Arb (2022-2024) - Franchise Tagged by D'Backs

SP - Jeff Hoffman (COL) - $1.0 (2021), Arb (2021-2023) - Flex tagged by D'Backs (Change to FT)

2B - Edmundo Sosa (STL) - $0.2 Minor

The Twins agree. I need middle infielders and still believe in Ruiz to come good, and think Sosa has a fair chance to break into the Cardinals line-up in 2020 or 2021.

Hoffman is still an unknown for me, he has been terrible (barring his rookie season in 2016), but showed glimpses in his 6 starts in September 2019. Would love him to be traded away from Colorado, but have to wait and see.

Thanks to Nick for agreeing to my offer, his team is placed differently to mine, and I think this trade serves both teams well.

[Arizona Diamondbacks (Nick)]

Accepted. What's life without a little risk, I'm sure the plan is clear with these last few trades
