According to La Velle E. Neal III, the Twins and Rays are finalizing a multi-player trade soon to be announced today. Delmon Young will be switching to the Twins along with Brendan Harris and Jason Pridie, while Matt Garza, Jason Bartlett and Juan Rincon will head to the Rays.
Young is a good young hitter (.288 in 2007 with 13 homers and 93 RBIs) and the Twins would shave their payroll offloading Rincon. Harris and Pridie are no slouchers either, and looks like a great deal for the Twins, especially for their outfield.
For the Rays, if anything, it adds on to their good young rotation with Garza now in the frame.
Update: The trade has been completed with all the players named above involved, except for Eduardo Morlan from the Twins heading to the Rays instead of Rincon.
