Twins Trade Hardy And Harris To Baltimore

The Twins traded shortstop J.J. Hardy and infielder Brendan Harris and $500,000 to Baltimore for 2 minor league relief pitchers.  The two relievers the Twins get are righthander Jim Hoey and righthander Brett Jacobson.  Hoey pitched at AA and AAA in 2010 while Jacobson pitched at the high A level.  Jacobson is considered the better prospect and can throw up to 98 miles an hour.
