There were plenty of hugs and handshakes all around as 17-year old minor league RHP Jim Haining and 23-year old RHP Joep Baesa left the Houston Astros today en route to joining the Minnesota Twins organization. 26-year old RHP Jared Jones and 27-year old RHP Jamie McManus will be traveling to Houston Astros to complete the swap.
This season Baesa has chalked up 1 save, notched a 3-2 record with a 2.60 ERA, allowed 38 hits in his 45 innings of work, struck out 48 and walked 18. Opponents are hitting .226 against the Minnesota hurler.
This year Jones has 5 wins and 2 losses and a 3.21 ERA.
