The Minnesota Twins send infielder Eduardo Nuñez to the SF Giant in exchange for Adalberto Mejia, the lefty prospect.
Nuñez played the New York Yankees before coming to the Twins and reviving his career. Nuñez was one of the Yankees most highly sought after prospects back in the day. Now, the 29 year old infielder joins a championship contending team in the Giants after being on a pitiful Twins team. Nuñez's play this year earned him his first All-Star berth. The impact of Nuñez on the Giants will be immediate. He can play second base, third base, shortstop and has even played outfield.
The return for the Twins seems to be great. According to MLB Trade Rumors, Mejia owns a 2.81 ERA, an 8.6 K/9 through 105 2/3 innings in Triple-A. This trade also allows the Twins to let their younger players shine and build a team that is a contender in the future with the farm system.
The trade isn't major but these are the types of trades every year that end up propelling a team to greatness.
