This can be taken two ways:
1) You can surmise that "Every Day Eddie" Guardado was traded back to his former club, the Twins for a prospect that shares a last name with one of America's beloved meat by-products.
or (and this is our way of thinking)...
2) You can see that Guardado has peaked a long time ago and ponder whether the Twins actually sent a hamburger to the Rangers (which is probably what Guardado is worth as a pitcher now).
The truth unfortunately is the former. Eddie Guardado (187 career saves) was traded to the Twins, the team that Eddie had been a part of from 1993-2003, for Mark Hamburger, a 21-year old minor league relief pitcher.
How the mighty have fallen. It was just six years ago that Guardado led the AL in saves. Now he is an over-seasoned veteran whose career is dying, traded for a man who isn't even a household name in his own household.
