Reigning American League batting champion Luis Arraez is headed to Miami in a deal that brings prized pitcher Pablo López to Minnesota.
The Miami Marlins on Friday sent Lopez and two prospects to the Minnesota Twins to acquire Arraez, a nominal second baseman who will likely become a top-of-the-order fixture as the first baseman or designated hitter. The deal, reported by ESPN's Jeff Passan, also sends two prospects to the Twins.
When Ng inked veteran Johnny Cueto to a contract earlier this offseason, it only accentuated the industry's inclination that López would be on the move.in 2023 despite Ng's attempts to bolster the group by signing outfielders Jorge Soler and Avisail Garcia. Only four teams struck out more often. Arraez should help with that, though his value figures to take a hit with the shift rules limiting his lineup spots.
The 2022 Twins pitching staff and rotation were below-average, by park-adjusted ERA-. Perhaps a bigger concern:. Lopez doesn't have the longest track record, but he tossed 180 innings across 32 starts last season, and sits at a comfortable 94 mph with his fastball. He joins Gray, Joe Ryan and summer 2022 trade acquisition Tyler Mahle in what still doesn't rank as a particularly terrifying rotation, but is now a considerably deeper one.
