The Minnesota Twins reportedly are trading designated hitter Nelson Cruz to the Tampa Bay Rays in a four-player deal on Thursday, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan and Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.
The Twins slugger just keeps hitting home runs. He is hitting .294 with 19 dingers, 50 RBI and a .907 OPS in 85 games this season, holding down the middle of the team's lineup.
Between 2014-19, Cruz never dipped below 37 homers in a season and hit 40 or more dingers four times.
