How do you explain this one?

So Trevor has been getting very interested in sports and rules and people and rationale behind things. On Saturday, we had the opportunity to go to a Gopher Basketball game. This was right after he had his Basketball practice/game so it was fun to know a little about the game, coming from his own (where he can make his shots very consistently now, by the way). Scoring was the source of a lot of questions, as are fouls.

Of course, the Twins are always a source of good information for Trevor. He got a Twin's calendar for Christmas, and he is looking forward to the season starting. He knows JJ Hardy is going to be playing for the Twins, and that the Twins traded Carlos Gomez in that deal.

He also remembers watching White Sox games in which Jim Thome came out late in the game as a designated hitter to try to get a big hit against the Twins. Trevor heard Russ call him a Twins killer, which immediately caught Trevor's attention. And now we have today's news. It causes Trevor great confusion, and I don't really know how to explain it very well. I guess no longer can he be considered a Twins killer? But he wasn't traded for anyone, so I guess that's good. Oh well...at least this brings interesting stories to look at during this off-season.
