Boone! Here comes the Boone!

Boonie gets traded to the Twins today. For a Player to be named later, which likely means that the M's got a list and want to check out the Minnesota prospects on the list a little more closely before picking one. It could also mean that the player is conditional depending on how Bret does for them.

A couple of reports had the Twins as Boone's first chouce, though I find it hard to believe that he'd rather go there than San Diego, but who knows.

The M's are reportedly paying all but the minimum of Bret's remaining salary.

August 8-10, the Twins come to Safeco for a 3 game set. Bring your hankies.
