Twins fans have endured some devastating moves that changed the direction of the franchise. Some players were traded suddenly, others signed with a different team on Thanksgiving.

Corey Koskie signed with the Toronto Blue Jays the week before Christmas in 2004 following seven season with Minnesota, and Jacque Jones inked a deal with the Chicago Cubs six days before Christmas in 2005 after seven seasons with Minnesota.
