Aaron Cook+Lew Ford+Scott Baker for Damian Moss+Jason Lane
Big fan of Lane, and Moss looks like an upgrade over Cook at this point. Cook looks awesome, but can't put it together. Another big plus of this deal is that I shed a considerable amount of salary--nothing drastic, but since I'm built around my high salary stars, it's nice to shed four million or so. Good dealing.

Agreed. I'm real high on Lane and hated dealing him, but hopefully Ford can hold down the fort until Drew and Gross return to the OF, which appears to be 4 weeks off. My outfielders returning from the DL were a key to getting this deal done.
The key for me was adding a talented young pitcher in the deal who is affordable and should be an upgrade over Moss. When Vazquez returns hopefully my rotation will be better than before he got injured.
Baker isn't anything special, but I don't have much in my stable of young pitching, so if he could catch a positive PD he'll be nice.
Thanks and GL to the Twins.
