Buzz: Twins Close to Trading Garza to Rays
At his blog for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, citing ‘several sources,’ La Velle E. Neal III reports that the Twins are close to trading RHP Matt Garza, RHP Juan Rincon and SS Jason Bartlett to the Rays for OF Delmon Young, SS Brendan Harris and OF Jason Pridie.
…i know what other outlets have said, but, honestly, i get no sense that the Mets could ever have traded just Carlos Gomez and Kevin Mulvey to get garza…the way i understand, that’s a garbled rumor, combining parts and peices from a variety of talks over the last few months involving all sorts of players from garza, to Luis Castillo, to Lastings Milledge to Johan Santana, and so on…just talk, though…i don’t think any real deal was ever available, at least to the extent that the Twins were looking for, or got from the Devil Rays…
