Twins Give Up On Gomez, Get Hardy From Brewers Two winters ago the Twins got Carlos Gomez from the Mets as the centerpiece of the Johan Santana trade and made the 22-year-old Torii Hunter 's replacement in center field despite little evidence that he was ready. He predictably struggled, batting .248/.293/.352 over the next two years, and started just 10 of the final 37 games this season as Ron Gardenhire...
Here's the first installment of GroupThought. Want to know what the smart baseball people think about the day's big deal? It's all right here. Today's Deal: Twins receive shortstop J.J. Hardy from the Milwaukee Brewers for centerfielder Carlos Gomez. Interestingly, everyone wrote about Hardy first which of course means Gomez is merely an afterthought to everyone but the Brewers.

The Minnesota Twins have acquired shortstop J.J. Hardy from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for outfielder Carlos Gomez. The move, announced Friday, relieves a crowded outfield for the Twins, who also have Delmon Young, Denard Span and Michael Cuddyer.

Links for Monday... MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan says the Rangers "refused to rule out the possibility of Milton Bradley coming back to Texas." Sullivan wasn't willing to allow the possibility a month ago, when he wrote, "The Rangers are not interested in Bradley. Sources have made that clear. He is not coming back. So stop it." Back in September, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram...

We've already discussed what four teams - the Red Sox, Cardinals, Dodgers, and Rockies - should do this offseason to improve themselves after being eliminated from the postseason, but we never touched on the Twins. Minnesota has a handful of players due to become a free agents, most notably Orlando Cabrera, Ron Mahay, Joe Crede, Mike Redmond, and Carl Pavano. Jesse Crain, Matt Guerrier, Delmon Young,...

Delmon Young's "Protective Cup" made out of baseball pants and a jock strap, minus any hard plastic protective surface, did not quite protect him from pain.
Yesterday during the Yankees/Twins baseball game - the final game of the ALDS - one of the Twins players showed incredible commitment to the game and to his team. Left fielder Delmon Young stepped up to the plate and promptly fouled a ball off the ground into his own... twig and berries, so to speak.
