Here are the day's minor moves…
- The Diamondbacks acquired utility man Tyler Kuhn from the White Sox for cash, reports Dan Hayes of CSNChicago.com (Twitter links). The 25-year-old hit .273/.309/.384 in 449 plate appearances for Chicago's Triple-A affiliate this season while playing second base, third base, and left field.
- The Twins have signed Taiwanese pitching prospect Chih-Wei Hu for $220K, reports MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez (on Twitter). The 18-year-old right-hander reportedly runs his fastball into the low-90s.

Sox should not have traded Kuhn. He was a good possible insurance policy for beckham
My thoughts exactly. The White Sox have a utility infielder hitting .273 in the minors? That’s one of our weak spots on the roster and they gave him up for cash. At 25, I wouldn’t have minded seeing him in the majors, because right now the best backup infielder we have is Orlando Hudson.
