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.
