Twins trade: 1B Wil Myers, 6th, 2.3 (Padres) Indians trade: 1B - Daniel Palka, 1st, 0.3 (White Sox) www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa549449&position=1B/OF2B - Travis Demeritte, 1st, 0.3 (Braves) www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa737533&position=2BOF - Greg Allen, 1st, 0.3 (Indians) www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=16623&position=OFSP - Zac Lowther, 1st, 0.3 (Orioles) www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa915645&position=PTwins cap: -1.1 Indians cap: +1.1 I'm picking up a bopper here in Myers. He's in the midst of his prime and will provide useful stats throughout the season. Allen will be missed most of the group I'm shipping to the Twins. He's fast fast fast. Good stuff, Twins. Easy dealin.

Twins accept. With the addition of Naylor (previously) and now Palka (although he may lose 1B eligibility if Abreu stays), I felt Myers was more expendable. I love this return. Palka and Demeritte have shown massive power in the minors, with Palka even stealing 29 bags one year. High K rates, but I'm hoping with time, plate discipline and pitch selection can improve with more experience. Greg Allen has to be one of the fastest players in baseball, and the Indians have a fantastic lineup but the OF may have room for someone like Allen to get quite a bit of playing time. Zac Lowther is young and raw but I love what he's done so far. 75K and just 11BB in 54 innings in low-A ball in 2017, and the Orioles being in rebuild mode, he may advance faster than he would if he was in another organization. Thanks Indians, good luck this season.
