Twins' Daniel Palka: Traded to Minnesota

Palka was traded to the Twins on Tuesday for Chris Herrmann.

Although Palka struck out 164 times in 129 games as a 23-year-old at High-A in 2015, he managed a .280/.352/.532 line, 29 homers and 24 steals, while also appearing at all three outfield positions. The Twins did reasonably well acquiring Palka, who stands 6-foot-2 and hits from the left side, in exchange for a light-hitting backup catcher.
