The Minnesota Twins’ sell-off is underway. The Twins traded pitchers Chris Paddack and Randy Dobnak to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for minor-league catcher Enrique Jimenez on Monday. Paddack is the first of several players the Twins are expected to deal over the next four days.

Detroit Tigers trade pickup Chris Paddack breaks his silence on being traded to Detroit, and he takes a subtle jab at the Minnesota Twins as well.

The Twins made the first of what could be several trades ahead of Thursday’s Trade Deadline on Monday, sending veteran right-handed starter Chris Paddack and Minor League right-hander Randy Dobnak to the Tigers for catching prospect Enrique Jimenez.
