The Los Angeles Dodgers have traded outfielder Manuel Margot and minor league infielder Rayne Doncon, along with cash considerations, to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for minor league infielder Noah Miller. This move comes after the Dodgers initially acquired Margot as part of a deal involving Tyler Glasnow. The trade is seen as a way for the Dodgers to alleviate the financial commitment of $12 million owed to Margot, while also acquiring Miller, a former competitive balance round pick. Following the trade, the Dodgers are reportedly close to finalizing a one-year deal with utility player Kiké Hernández, signaling his return to the team. Hernández's contract is said to be valued at $4 million. The Twins will only take on $4 million of Margot's salary for the season, with the Dodgers covering the remainder, including a $6 million contribution towards Margot's 2024 salary. The Twins get outfield depth and a $12 million team option for Margot for 2025 without a buyout. Hernandez's starts will probably come mostly in center field and at shortstop against lefties.

Per league source: Twins will take on just $4 million of the $10 million owed to Manuel Margot this season and won't be responsible for the $2 million buyout of his 2025 team option. It's basically a one-year, $4 million deal, with a buyout-less $12 million team option for 2025.
Per source, the Dodgers are paying down Margot's salary with the Twins to $4 million So this is probably more of a cash-neutral set of moves, when factoring in Kiké's $4 million contract https://t.co/9d4tR5R4eO
Derek Falvey said the Twins will receive more than the required $4M from the Dodgers to cover part of Manuel Margot's salary. https://t.co/0dAnCBTyuU

Interesting little wrinkle. Twins were in the mix to sign Enrique Hernández. Instead, he's re-signing with the Dodgers, which frees them up to trade a different right-handed-hitting outfielder, Manuel Margot, to the Twins. https://t.co/nGt1ca2JWD
