Twins acquired C Enrique Jimenez from the Tigers for RHP Chris Paddack and RHP Randy Dobnak.
Jimenez didn’t have much of a path to playing time in Detroit with Josue Briceño and Thayron Liranzo ahead of him on the club’s minor-league depth chart. The 19-year-old represents an intriguing gamble for Minnesota as they move on from veteran starter Chris Paddack, who was set to reach free agency in a couple months.
