This doesn’t really have anything to do with anything pertinent, but it’s a little bit of a cool exercise, if you think like me. It’s also fun because now, the Knoblauch and Santana trees are merged. Everyone has pointed to the fact that the Johan Santana trade now is expanded because JJ Hardy (who was acquired for Carlos Gomez who came over in the Santana trade) was moved. But here’s how Knobby’s trade still affects the Twins.
Knoblauch was traded to the Yankees for Eric Milton, Danny Mota Cristian Guzman and Brian Buchanan.
Guzman and Mota left without a return.
Milton was traded to the Phillies for Nick Punto, Carlos Silva and Bobby Korecky. All have left or will leave via free agency.
Buchanan was traded to the Padres for Jason Bartlett
Bartlett was part of a package (with Matt Garza and Eduardo Morlan) for Delmon Young, Jason Pridie and Brendan Harris.
Young is still on the team, while Pridie was released.
Just yesterday, Harris was packaged with Hardy for relievers Brett Jacobsen and Jim Hoey. The fact that the Knoblauch still affecting the team is really something. Stats are fun.
