Twins acquire Young in 6-player deal
The Minnesota Twins weren’t worried about Delmon Young’s troubled past. They wanted his bat, and they wanted it badly.
Young was traded by Tampa Bay to Minnesota on Wednesday night as part of a six-layer deal that sent right-hander Matt Garza to the Rays.
In a swap of promising youngsters that’s been discussed for weeks, the Twins also gave up starting shortstop Jason Bartlett and minor league pitcher Eduardo Morlan while acquiring shortstop Brendan Harris and minor league outfielder Jason Pridie.
Delmon Young, who hit .288 with 13 homers and 93 RBIs as a rookie, will give the Twins an athletic replacement for Torii Hunter.
