Nationals send Capps to Twins for Ramos

Baseball Betting Lines

07/29/2010 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Washington Nationals have traded closer Matt Capps to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for highly regarded catcher prospect Wilson Ramos.

Additionally the Nationals will also receive minor league pitcher Joe Testa, while Washington will send an undisclosed amount of cash to Minnesota.

Capps was in his first season with the Nationals and had a 3-3 record with a 2.80 earned-run average and 25 saves in 46 appearances. He joined Washington as a free agent after five seasons in Pittsburgh and has a 22-22 career record with a 3.50 ERA and 92 saves in parts of six seasons.

Ramos was one of the top-rated prospects in the Minnesota system, but was blocked by reigning AL MVP Joe Mauer. While Mauer was briefly injured, Ramos went 8-for-27 in a short seven-game stint in the majors this season.

The 22-year-old Ramos is batting .241 with five homers and 30 RBI in 71 games with Triple-A Rochester this season.

Testa, 24, is 2-5 with a 5.50 ERA in 36 games for Single-A Fort Myers and Double-A New Britain this season.
