Red Sox/Twins trade

[Chris (Former Red Sox GM)]

Red Sox get:

1b - Joe Mauer, 2018 - $6.4m w/2019 option
With 50% of 2017 salary paid by Twins

Twins get:

RP - Giovanny Gallagos, spec
Red Sox rd 3 2017 amateur draft pick

Red Sox accept.

I feel like a need another bat to take days at DH and first. My roster was kinda thin on hitting depth. Mauer is boring, but should be solid for another year or two.

I really like Gallegos, but went heavy on young RPs in milb draft this year, so it's a position of depth right now.

[Austin (Former Twins GM)]

Confirm.

Mauer hasn't aged with much grace. Gallegos looks to be a promising relief prospect and a draft pick isn't too bad either. So far the process of adding prospects that I like has been a success.

[Astros GM (Will)]

Approve - much better return for the Twins than the Liriano trade. The stove is on fire right now.
