Mariners / Twins (Approved 3-0)

[Seattle GM - Jamie]

Mariners Trade:
    C- Francisco Mejia- (C) $300,000 (2024)

Twins Trade:
    2B Kody Clemens (DET-Prospect)
    SP Stephen Gonsalves (MIN-Prospect)
    SP/RP Marco Raya (MIN-Prospect)

The Why
    I have depth at Catcher all young - don't need to carry 3. Needing to add some younger depth with some upside to my minors. Raya probably has the most upside of the players I am getting back.  Clemens could be a power bat at 2B for Detroit, he could come up this year.  Gonsalves has been a prospect for a while, he is now pitching for Boston and has a good k per 9 innings maybe when he will finally develop and become a low -to mid rotation SP.

How they were acquired 
Francisco Mejia - 2013 contraction draft 2.2
Kody Clemens - 2015 contraction draft 2.5
Stephen Gonsalves -2013 drafted by Twins round 4
Marco Raya - 2020 drafted by Twins in round 4 

[Minnesota Twins GM – (DK)]

Twins Approve.

Need catching depth with Garver on the IL and no sign of Joey Bart coming. Francisco Mejia is young and under control for a while (2024).
My team is playing well enough to think of winning now.

Marco Raya is my favorite of the prospects I gave up but at 18 years old he is really far away so carries both injury and reliever risk.
Kody Clemens is an interesting power bat at 2B but I am pretty stack with young middle infielders at the moment. I have really soured on Stephen Gonsalves. He had massive potential but not sure he’ll ever live up to it.
