Twins Trade For Cabrera

July 31, 2009 | Filed underTwins,Twins Fantasy | Posted by

The Minnesota Twins agreed to trade Class A prospect shortstop Tyler Ladendorf to the Oakland A’s for shortstop Orlando Cabrera. The Twins also got cash in the deal that would pay for a lot of Cabrera’s remaining salary this year.

Cabrera is not expected to make it in time to be available for tonights’ game against the LA angels at the dome.

No move has been announced to make room for Cabrera on the 25-man roster. He is expected to be slotted in at the shortstop position, with infielders’ Nick Punto and Brendan Harris seeing some time as well.
