This is a fun read

https://puckettspond.com/2017/07/31/minnesota-twins-best-july-31st-deals-franchise-history/


1989: Twins acquire Rick Aguilera, Tim Drummond, Kevin Tapani, David West, and Jack Savage from New York Mets for Frank Viola

Definitely a good trade, as great as Viola was. Tapani and Aguilera were rocks for this franchise for a long time.

Definitely got some return, at least.
A lot of these deals, you can't really judge now, because the temperature at the time the deal is made, sometimes explains or at least excuses, some of the obviously ugly results.

Kyle Lohse traded to the Reds for Zach Ward.

Even worse

Because it's too easy to pat the Twins on the back for "great" trades. Lots of clunkers too.

Alex Presley was actually a decent backup OF option that got too much playing time. Pretty good defense and good speed.
