Cleveland/Arizona

[Arizona Diamondbacks]

After a brief negotiation the Indians and D-Backs have agreed to the following trade...


Indians get:


James Nelson, 3B, Marlins.  2018/.2M - prospect

Cornelius Randolph, OF, Phillies. 2018/.2M - prospect



D-Backs get:


Ben Revere, LF/CF, Reds.  2018/.5M



We always hate to see prospects go, but we have built good depth in our farm system in the mid-level range and felt the need to use a little of it to buy an insurance policy for our aging outfield. Revere had a decent year in 2017 hitting .275 and stealing 21 bases in somewhat limited duty. If he can repeat that this year we will be very happy.


Thanks to Mark, the Tribe GM, for the deal. It was done easily, which is always a good thing.

LF is a very short position and we decided to pick up players like Revere and Davis in the hope they would create a market for trade capital. We're in need of prospects for our farm system and Randolph and Nelson are welcome additions.

Thanks to Donnie for the swift negotiations.
