Twins Land Pablo Lopez And Two Prospects
2 years agoThe Minnesota Twins acquired right-hander Pablo Lopez and prospects Jose Salas and Byron Chourio from the Miami Marlins on Friday in exchange for All-Star second baseman Luiz Arraez, according to sources. Lopez went 10-10 with a 3.75 ERA (3.71 FIP), 1.17 WHIP and 23.6 percent strikeout rate in 180 innings over a career-high 32 starts in his fifth MLB season with the Marlins. The 26-year-old will be under Twins control for the next two seasons and heads to another favorite pitcher's park in a rather weak division as well. Neither Salas nor Chourio were listed on Miami's list of top-30 prospects, per MLB Pipeline. Salas is the more intriguing of the two. The 19-year-old switch-hitting shortstop only made it to High-A in 2022, but he could rise quickly in Minnesota's system.
