The Twins have acquired right-handed pitching prospect Marcos Diplan from the Brewers for cash considerations, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports. The Brewers designated Diplan for assignment earlier this week.
The 22-year-old Diplan ranked as FanGraphs’ 18th-best Brewers prospect as recently as the offseason, but that wasn’t enough to keep him in the organization after he struggled to start the 2019 campaign. He has made 30 appearances (five starts) at the Double-A level this season and pitched to a 4.99 ERA/4.41 FIP with 9.83 K/9 and 5.77 BB/9 in 57 2/3 innings.

The *Brewers designated for assignment…
CluHaywood
Wait…who acquired him? You have both the twins acquiring him, then the Brewers acquiring him, then the twins designating, but he was ranked in the brewers system…da fuq?

A prospect is hardly newsworthy!
Fuck Me Bitch
Not only that, a prospect with an ugly resume.
6 walks per nine!

twinsfan368 if only the A’s could make moves like this.

One hour left on the trade deadline and they are wasting valuable time on the DFA acquisition. Wow

Are the brewers trying to empty their farm?

Hey Falvey! Maybe concentrate on the MLB roster for the next 45 minutes!!

yeah I had to laugh at the DFA paragraph, briefly, before I remembered he was a brewer.
…wait a minute… so the twins released the guy, and then the brewers pick him up and sell him back to them?… I thought the Reds had no clue what what they were doing… Twins giving them a run for their money.

The fanbase was on pins and needles waiting for this move to go down and gosh darnit, it actually happened! Im being serious, world serious!
Paul Griggs
That just put the Twins over the top in 2019! All we were asking for was another MLB ready and competent relief pitcher. I love it when Diplan comes together.
bradbyrne5
You gotta be kidding me! 20 minutes to the deadline and this is what they do!!! Get rid of the front office. Their terrible!
hep4747
Yes!!!!!!

I will assume the brewers put the them on hold for an hour or so when they called that might explain why no other deals were made by the twins
Paul Griggs
I wonder what the Twins will do with all those empty spots on the 40-man roster? They cleaned house on their relievers and haven’t filled them back in really. They have 37 players on the 40 man roster and 3 of those are on the IL. Are Hildenberger and Gonsalves ever to be seen of again?

OMG honey we got Marcos Diplan!!! Pack the kids in the car and let’s go tonight!!!

Zac Gallen would’ve been a good pick up..the day after he held our bats to only 2 runs…at least we still have Smeltzer…he’s a decent starter…
