Leonys Martin to Indians

[Matt Breen]

Not a major deal, but it does shore up the Indians outfield a bit. Tigers get AA infielder Willi Castro, who was ranked #8 on Cleveland's MLB Pipeline Top 30 list.

I'm glad the Cubs didn't get him, I think they wanted him and could use him with Happ playing more infield due to Bryant's injury. Unfortunately for the Cubs, their #1 prospect is probably less of a prospect than the Indians #8.

Late trade deadline add for the Indians to get Oscar Mercado out of St. Louis for Conner Capel & Jhon Torres.

Pure prospect for prospects deal..

 

I liked Capel and think there is a workman like quality to him. Which ever team has him will like him as an all-around player. Opponents will be frustrated by him...
