Twins Trade: - Gavin Lux, LAD (MI): $850K | Arb 1-3 - Brandon Pfaadt, SP (ARI): MiLB - 2023 1.18
Orioles Trade: - Nick Lodolo, SP (CIN): $850K | $850K | Arb 1-3
Rational: I've been hunting for a quality starting pitcher that had multiple years of team control, and I've landed one of my top targets in Lodolo. While I feel like I've overpaid to do so, Lodolo has been one of my guys since he went to TCU and I think he just continues to climb the rankings over the next few seasons. Lux was a nice piece to get back when flipping Lynn & Jansen, but I had a bigger need in the rotation especially with the other MI's ahead of him. Pfaadt and the pick are unfortunate casualties, but were needed to get this deal done.
Good working with Aaron on this deal, and over to him to confirm.

Confirmed.
While I believe Lodolo has the highest upside in this deal, I like Pfaadt's fastball/ slider combo enough to dream on his ceiling growing as he hits the majors. Lux is a great addition to my MI group as Gunnar shifts to CI.
