Matt Capps Trade Also Involves Cash, Third Player

Stay connected with SB Nation

Earlier reports had Matt Capps going to Minnesota and Wilson Ramos going to Washington, straight up. Now Ken Rosenthal has an update:

Spoke too soon: Twins get Capps and cash for Ramos and LHP Joe Testa, recently demoted from AA to A. Still wonder . . .

The cash will presumably cover much of, if not all of Capps' remaining salary. Joe Testa, meanwhile, is a 24 year old lefty reliever who got absolutely pounded this year in his first exposure to AA. He would appear to be something of a non-prospect.

That Washington is sending money to Minnesota explains at least in part why the Twins were willing to pay as much as Wilson Ramos.
