BRET BOONE TRADED TO TWINS
Seattle Times
The Mariners have traded Bret Boone to the Minnesota Twins. Boone was designated for assignment last Sunday (July 3). It is not known which players the Mariners will receive from the Twins, if they receive any players at all.
Back in March, I had predicted that Pokey Reese would be traded to the Twins in July. Well, I'm sort of right. "Sort of right" doesn't mean a whole lot, but whatever. Reese hasn't played a single inning for the M's this year and Boone is now a Twin. Go figure.
The Twins are 48-38, 9 games behind the Chicago White Sox in the A.L. Central. But they are leading the A.L. Wild Card race, so there is definitely hope for the Twins in the second half. Can Boone help the Twins get to the postseason? Surely he can add more to the Twins' lineup than Luis Rivas did. I picked the Twins to win the American League pennant before the season started, so that explains why I want to see the Twins in the playoffs.
Best of luck to Bret in Minnesota.
