Minnesota Twins Acquire Outfielder Manuel Margot in Trade With Los Angeles Dodgers
Two months after acquiring Manuel Margot from the Tampa Bay Rays as part of the Tyler Glasnow trade, the Los Angeles Dodgers are flipping the outfielder to the Minnesota Twins.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have traded outfielder Manuel Margot to the Minnesota Twins, MLB.com’s Juan Toribio reported Monday afternoon.
Margot was slated to be in the Dodgers’ lineup for their Cactus League showdown with the Colorado Rockies at 3:10 p.m. ET, but he got scratched when the deal became public less than 30 minutes earlier. He was set to bat sixth at start in center field.
Through two Spring Training games, Margot was 0-for-6 with a strikeout.
The Twins are sending shortstop Noah Miller back to the Dodgers, according to The New York Post’s Jon Heyman. ESPN’s Jeff Passan added that shortstop prospect Rayne Doncon would join Margot in heading from Los Angeles to Minnesota.
