So you mean to tell me, we traded a $25M+ minor leaguer and a relief pitcher with a 4+ FIP for a solid, innings-eating starting pitcher making the league minimum?
Detroit, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - The Minnesota Twins have placed outfielder Shane Robinson on the family emergency list and recalled outfielder Aaron Hicks from Triple-A Rochester.
Robinson must remain on the list for three to seven days. He is batting .315 in 22 games this season, his first season with the Twins after playing parts of five years with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Hope everything turns out all right with his family. I'm really happy that he's doing so well in Minnesota.

That is nice.
I always thought the biggest coup was getting a team to take the entire salary on broken Craig. I like Craig. I hope he gets unbroken, but that was amazing of what Mo did.
The Braves have dominated the Marlins all season, and Shelby Miller took it to another level on Sunday. The Atlanta right-hander was one out away from no-hitting the Marlins at Marlins Park on Sunday afternoon. Justin Bour broke it up with a legitimate single back up the middle with two outs in the ninth.
FINAL: ATL 6, MIA 0
Miller walked a batter in the second inning for Miami's only base-runner prior to Bour's single. The runner was erased on a double play, so Miller had faced the minimum 26 batters before allowing a hit. Dee Gordon followed Bour's single with an infield single. Miller ended the day with the two hits allowed in nine innings. He struck out four.
The Braves almost picked up a hit in the third inning, when Henderson Alvarez appeared to beat out an infield single. The play was reviewed and the call was overturned.
Miller threw only 91 thrown pitches before Bour's single, so his pitch count was in excellent shape. He ended the game with only 94 pitches in the complete-game.
The last Braves no-hitter came way back in 1994, when Kent Mercker no-hit the Dodgers. The Marlins were no-hit by Jordan Zimmermann on the final day of last season, so they were nearly on the wrong end of MLB's last two no-hitters.
The Braves are now 7-2 against the Marlins this season.
