"The Twins announced they've traded infielder Vidal Bruján to the Mets for cash. Minnesota designated him for assignment yesterday when they acquired a different utility player, Tristan Gray, in a trade with Boston. The Mets have not announced the move and will need to designate someone themselves to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Bruján is on the move for the second time this offseason."
"He finished the season with Atlanta but was designated for assignment a couple weeks ago. The Twins snagged him off waivers. They'll pick up a bit of cash out of the sequence but not much more, as they apparently prefer Gray as a depth infielder. That could be as much about roster flexibility as anything else. Bruján is out of minor league options, while Gray can be sent to Triple-A without going on waivers."
Vidal Bruján was traded from the Twins to the Mets for cash after Minnesota designated him for assignment when acquiring Tristan Gray from Boston. The Mets have not announced the transaction and will need to designate a player to open a 40-man roster spot. Bruján is being moved for the second time this offseason after finishing with Atlanta and being designated for assignment there before Minnesota claimed him off waivers. The Twins will receive only a small amount of cash and preferred Gray for infield depth. The preference reflects roster flexibility because Bruján is out of minor league options while Gray can be optioned to Triple-A.
