FULMER TRADED TO THE TWINS

The Minnesota Twins acquired pitcher Michael Fulmer from the Detroit Tigers for pitcher Sawyer Gipson-Long.

What does it give the Minnesota Twins
The Twins have been very active before the trade deadline. Fulmer should become a key setup man for fellow newcomer Jorge Lopez, who is expected to serve as Minnesota's closer.

What does it give the Detroit Tigers
While Gipson-Long has struggled mightily at Double-A Wichita, he still has a chance to become a decent pitcher at the highest level. He should get a better opportunity within the Tigers organization.

Fantasy impact
Fulmer should become a greater source of holds down the stretch. Meanwhile, keep an eye on Gipson-Long as a member of Detroit's organization.
