TWINS TRADE FOR KODY CLEMENS
The Minnesota Twins acquired infielder Kody Clemens from the Philadelphia Phillies for cash.
What does it give the Minnesota Twins
Clemens adds some depth and versatility to Minnesota's roster. The 28-year-old has decent power and can play multiple positions, but he has struggled to get on base and make contact at the MLB level. He will likely fill a bench role for the Twins.
What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies
Clemens showed promise as a power hitter in the minors with Philadelphia, but he was unable to find success in limited MLB playing time. The Phillies chose to move on, designating him for assignment shortly before this trade. Cash is the return.
Fantasy impact
Clemens has never earned consistent MLB playing time, so this trade is unlikely to have a fantasy impact. He could be worth keeping an eye on, though, if he gets hot for Minnesota.
