The deal is finally official between the Atlanta Braves and the Minnesota Twins…LHP Jaime Garcia has been sent to the Twins along with catcher Anthony Recker and cash considerations. In return, the Braves receive 19-year-old Huascar Ynoa.
The right-handed pitcher is in his third year as a professional pitcher after being signed as a 16-year-old out of Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. That year, he was ranked as the 14th best international prospect, according to Baseball America.
When this trade finally became official, many thought it was a head scratcher.
