Delmon Young Trade Finalized As Tigers Send Twins Lester Oliveros

Stay connected for news and updates

Yesterday the Tigers acquired outfielder Delmon Young from the Twins in exchange for minor leaguer Cole Nelson and a player to be named later. That player to be named later has been named now [via Jason Beck]:

So apparently the PTBNL was actually a PTBNT (player to be named Tuesday). Lester Oliveros goes from the #Tigers to the Twins.

Oliveros has seen time with the Tigers’ Double-A, Triple-A and MLB teams this season. In nine games with the Tigers, he pitched in eight innings and had a 5.63 ERA (3.51 FIP). In Triple-A, he had a 6.43 ERA over 28 innings and a 0.53 ERA in 17 innings of Double-A.

Oliveros didn’t show much to be desired in his short stint with the Tigers this year, so in all, Young was had for relatively very little. This was a good deal for the Tigers in an attempt to inject some life into an inconsistent lineup for the home stretch this season and to acquire a still very young, proven talent in Young for the future.
