AGonzalez11 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=twin...v=tsn&type=lgns Twins trade for Mariners' Boone By Ken Rosenthal - SportingNews The Mariners have traded second baseman Bret Boone to the Twins, the Sporting News has learned. The Mariners will receive cash or a player to be named. The Twins will pay only a prorated portion of the minimum salary for Boone's services the rest of this season; Seattle will assume the rest of his $8 million salary. Boone, who was designated for assignment on July 3, was batting .231 with seven homers and 34 RBIs. Boone is a career .266 hitter with 252 home runs and 1,018 RBIs. He played the past four and half seasons in Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAndMrsFish Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I think the Twins made a big move here and got Boone on the cheap...this is just what Boone might need...a change in scenery.... Watch out he doesn't blow up in the 2nd half of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ24 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I thought he would go there but i dont understand it. The Twinkees are a speedy team also i would like to see how Boone adjusts to the turf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Ehh he will help a little, but he's only making a big impact if they stop testing for steroids again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Ehh he will help a little, but he's only making a big impact if they stop testing for steroids again. 852205[/snapback] yep he's done, but he's not a bad fella so if he somehow does well good for him....

QuickGold Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Twins need Santana to pitch like Santana last season and for the ChiSox to actually lose a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
