The Minnesota Twins are finalizing a trade to send right-handed pitcher Chris Paddack to the Detroit Tigers, Ken Rosenthal and Dan Hayes of The Athletic report. Minnesota will receive a prospect in return for the veteran starter.

The Twins made their first big move of Trade Deadline season on Monday, trading Chris Paddack and Randy Dobnak to the Tigers in exchange for catching prospect Enrique Jimenez, Detroit's No. 14 prospect.

The Detroit Tigers agreed to a trade Monday to acquire starting pitcher Chris Paddack from the Minnesota Twins, sources told ESPN, confirming an initial report from The Athletic. The Tigers will also receive right-hander Randy Dobnak in the deal, with catching/first-base prospect Enrique Jimenez going to the Twins, sources told ESPN.

Control artist and fast-rising prospect Pierson Ohl gets the call, after Monday's Chris Paddack trade created an opportunity.

Jeff Passan of ESPN reports there was an additional piece in the deal. Full trade, per ESPN sources: Detroit receives: RHP Chris Paddack and RHP Randy Dobnak Minnesota receives: C/1B Enrique Jimenez Dobnak is under team control through 2027.

Twins players greeted their team’s first official day as Trade Deadline sellers exactly the way manager Rocco Baldelli would have wanted: resiliently.

The fourth-place Twins have no time to show that they can make a playoff run before this week's trade deadline.
