The Washington Nationals have traded closer Matt Capps and cash to the Minnesota Twins for minor leaguers Wilson Ramos (Catcher) and Jon Testa (LHP). Capps was the sole All-Star on the Nationals and has saved 26 games this season, including tonight’s 5-3 win. Ramos is apparently a highly touted prospect but is blocked, of course, by Joe Mauer who I’ve heard is pretty good. Check back tomorrow for a column on the trade and what it means the to Nats future.
