Carlos Gomez is the return. More later.

Later: Hardy is a guy that we'd all been hoping that the Mariners would make a play on this offseason to address the shortstop position, so it's a bit of a shame that he's been taken off the table so early and for what appears to be a fairly low price - one we doubtless could have paid. Gomez is a slightly below average centrefielder for league minimum, and the Brewers had top prospect Alcides Escobar waiting in the wings and a hole in CF with the departure of Mike Cameron, but I have a ...

Fantasy Impact: Hardy for Gomez
Rotoprofessor —
According to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (click here to view the post), the Milwaukee Brewers have traded J.J. Hardy to the Minnesota Twins for Carlos Gomez. The move is surprising, in the sense that it was heavily thought that the Brewers would move Hardy in exchange for pitching, which it desperately needs. Centerfield, however, was another void considering Mike Cameron is a free agent. Gomez has not yet developed into the offensive weapon many projected him to be coming up through the Mets minor league system (remember, he was one of the main pieces ...
BREAKING: Twins trade Carlos Gomez for JJ Hardy
The Victoria Times —
... According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Twins have acquired JJ Hardy for Carlos Gomez. The move signals several things for the Twins (and the Brewers, who were trying to off load Hardy after the emergence of Alcides Escobar). First: They thought the potential Gomez possesses was equal to their need at short. Second, this likely means the team will keep Delmon Young who began to emerge late last season, AND he will be in the every day lineup. Third, this means Orlando Cabrera will not be back in Minnesota next year. ...

Hardy for Gomez
Sabernomics —
The Brewers just completed a swap of J.J. Hardy for Carlos Gomez with the Twins. I initially liked this deal for the Twins, but after finishing the post I see why this deal makes sense for the Brewers.
Hardy really had a bad year, last year. And the Brewers had the guts to send him to the minors—to work on his game and delay his free agency. It’s possible he’ll go all Marcus Giles and never hit again, but I doubt it. Combined with his above-average defense at shortstop, even if he just pulls it together to hit a mid-.700s OPS, ...
