This culled from a dubious Yankee message boars at Yesnetwork.com:
"To Yankees fans who drool over the vision of Torii Hunter in pinstripes, take a step back. Remember how much Twins general manager Terry Ryan received from the Yankees for Chuck Knoblauch nearly eight years ago. Then consider that Hunter is far more popular than Knoblauch was, both with the fans and in his own clubhouse."

It's not a major concern, but it seems to be a persistent myth: What did the Twins receive from the Yankees for Chuck Knoblauch nearly eight years ago?
The Twins received Brian Buchanan, Cristian Guzman, Eric Milton, Danny Mota, and cash.
Buchanan and Mota are not worth mentioning.
Cristian Guzman stinks and Eric Milton stinks. Links are provided in case you wish to independently verify this.
Okay, maybe Milton doesn't flat-out stink, but his career stats are 79-72, 4.99 ERA. Shrug.
As for cash, I'm not sure how much cash the Yankees gave up. But I must concede, cash is good.
