Gonzalez, Anthony DeSclafani (elbow), Justin Topa and Darren Bowen were traded from the Mariners to the Twins on Monday in exchange for Jorge Polanco, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Gonzalez excelled at every stop as an aggressive righty slugger until reaching High-A Everett as a 19-year-old last season. He slashed .348/.403/.530 at Single-A before a low .233 BABIP contributed to a .215/.290/.387 line at High-A. Gonzalez has a bad body for a 20-year-old corner outfielder, and he will need to show a more patient approach against advanced pitching in order to profile toward the bottom of the defensive spectrum.
