Angels need pitching surprised they did this

He was one of my top targets for the Rule 5 draft along with Armando Rivero. I thought Twins might have drafted him #1 with their rotation holes. Surprised Angels would trade him to Twins with all of their own rotation holes.

One of your top targets? What exactly were you targeting him for?

Anaheim dislikes pitching.

No, but I think the idea was Haley wasn’t good enough to occupy a slot on the Angels’ 25-man roster. A player selected in Rule 5 must be kept on the 25-man or given back. He can’t be sent to AAA, which might be the more appropriate spot at this point in his development.
Apparently the Twins have a bigger need for arms on their 2017 roster.

With the way five out of the last six years has gone for the Twins rotation, yes, they have a big need for arms.
Twins SP options for April: Santana, Santiago, Hughes, Gibson, Berrios, Duffey, May, Mejia and Haley.
So lots of options and the only one who’s been performing is Santana. I’d call him the only lock. The rest of them are options for the BP or rotation.

People forget these players only need to make it till July on the roster and then stashed on 15 day dl. Then rejoin the team on September 1. That will qualify them for the whole year
Diablo 2
And how exactly does that benefit a players development?
