Rangers trade Guardado to Twins for Hamburger?

Eddie Guardado-R-Twins Aug. 25 - 3:45 pm et

 

Twins acquired LHP Eddie Guardado from the Rangers in exchange for RHP Mark Hamburger.

 

Guardado has a 3.65 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP so far this season, but he's given up runs in four of his last five appearances. His strikeout rate has plummeted since he was last with the team, but he should still provide a nice boost to Minnesota's bullpen.

I'm disappointed, I thought this could have been the first transaction in which the guy could have been traded for something he ate 10 minutes earlier, thus voiding the trade.

Once again, the conservative, sandwich-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor.

Don't get my hopes up like that!

Seriously. This had the potential to be the best trade ever.

Blank? Blank?! You're not looking at the big picture!

Someone finally bit on the Rangers trade bait...

I'm shamelessly stealing from BTF, but it was too good not to share.

 

I'd gladly pay you Everyday for a Hamburger today.
