Yea Indians got a steal, big time.

If they resign Cody Allen in the winter, the back end of that bullpen is looking good with Cimber, Hand and Allen.

Re: 2018 MLB Trade Deadline
 

I wonder what this means for Hedges.

I like this trade. Cimber came out of nowhere and pitched well, but I think Hands value is at its peak and he's been scuffling a bit recently. Two scrap heap bullpen arm pickups for a top prospect, I'll take it.

That's a great pickup for Cleveland.

My hopes for Boston starts with a quality bullpen arm. And from there a bottom of the rotation starter. Even then I'm not sure they can afford a middle of the road guy at each spot with what they have in the minors.

Hedges sucks. I've never been a fan

I'm surprised they gave Mejia up. Must not be so high on him anymore.

Either way, you know my philosophy. Trade the unknown for the proven a thousand times out of a thousand.

Re: 2018 MLB Trade Deadline
 

You really think so? I guess both relievers are controllable, but Mejia has hit at every level and seems like the real deal. Switch hitter, can play multiple positions.

Re: 2018 MLB Trade Deadline
 

Absolutely, considering what other top closers have fetched as rentals vs Hand who has 3 more years under a cheap contract. If it was a clean swap then I'd be ok, but WE also added another solid reliever with FIVE years of control and all we got was one prospect.

I don't know. I just feel like you weren't going to get anything better from any other teams for Hand, and Adam Cimber certainly wasn't going to fetch any big time prospects by himself
