Not the one that that you were expecting - or fearing as the case may be.
The Tribe picked up RHP Hunter Wood and INF Christian Arroyo from the Rays for
INF Ruben Cardenas and $250K international pool money.
Definitely a deal with 2020 and beyond in mind.

In other news on the trade front - Tribe is kicking the tires on Mariners' slugger Domingo Santana.True, he may add some pop to the lineup after hitting his 20th HR Sunday - but at what cost? He is also leading the league in strikeouts. He is 3 years older than a power hitter we had in our lineup, but chose to send him back to AAA to work on cutting down the strikeouts.
Brooksie issues a hard pass on this one.

Looks like Antonetti and Chernoff are returning to their senses
