The Rays traded Delmon Young for Matt Garza and Jason Bartlett on this date in 2007

On November 28th, 2007, the newly named Tampa Bay Rays and Minnesota Twins came together on a trade.

The trade involved six players, with SS Jason Bartlett, RHP Matt Garza, and RHP Eduardo Morlan heading to Tampa Bay, and the Rays sending OF Delmon Young, OF Jason Pridie, and SS Brendan Harris to the Twins Cities.

It was certainly a blockbuster. Delmon Young was just a year removed from being the 3rd top prospect in all of baseball and was coming from a 2007 season in which he finished runner up in the AL Rookie of the Year chase.
