Twins trade J.J. Hardy to Orioles, select Scott Diamond in Rule 5 draft

I'll have a whole lot more on this tomorrow (or tonight, maybe), but for now the short version: J.J. Hardy and Brendan Harris have been traded to the Orioles for minor league relievers Jim Hoey and Brett Jacobson, which also means the Twins are all but certain they'll sign Tsuyoshi Nishioka. And in this morning's Rule 5 draft the Twins lost no one and picked left-hander Scott Diamond from the Braves.

  1. It’s touching and sad that any of this even matters. Unless losing in the playoffs is an acceptable end goal. That should be stated before anyone’s comments for clarity as a default on this website unless people opt out. If they opt out, there better be aces on the Twins staff or we can disregard them completely.
