Twins get SS Hardy from Brewers

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Twins have acquired shortstop
J.J. Hardy from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for outfielder
Carlos Gomez.

The move, announced Friday, relieves a crowded outfield for the
Twins, who also have Delmon Young, Denard Span and Michael Cuddyer.

The 27-year-old Hardy batted .229 with 11 home runs and 47 RBI
in 115 games for the Brewers in 2009. A 2007 All-Star, he is just
the third shortstop in Brewers' history to hit more than 20 home
runs in a season twice (Robin Yount and Jose Hernandez).

He has a career batting average of .262 with 75 home runs and
265 RBI in 571 games.

The 23-year-old Gomez was acquired by the Twins from the New
York Mets last year. He batted .229 with three home runs and 28 RBI
in 137 games with the Twins last season.
