    Indians fans have to be in disbelief. Instead of trading an ace they actually acquired one? Ha.

    I never saw this coming, I don't know the minor leaguers they traded, but if it's in line with the asking price that may be a bad deal!

    The reverse Sabathia. Interesting.

    The Indians will send the 27-year-old right-hander to Cleveland for pitching prospects Drew Pomeranz, Joe Gardner and Alex White, and first baseman Matt McBride, sources told ESPN.com.
    Jimenez was pulled Saturday night from his start after pitching one inning against the San Diego Padres.

    This was a mindfucker when I heard it on TV! Congrats to the Indians getting a deal done for a #1 or 2 starter The Rockies definitely got a haul for him but it could just be worth it. Indians still need to get a bat but Fukudome and Jimenez are pretty damn good deals for a small market team.

    I find it hard to believe the Rockies wanted to trade their ace.

    FML if Kershaw becomes the next most coveted pitcher and our GM feels he has to make a trade for the sake of making a trade.

    Two things of note. Jimenez's contact is very favorable, so it might be a really good fit for the Indians. Secondly, and kind of contradictory to the first, supposedly the Rockies refused to let the Yankees give Jimenez a physical.

    There is a physical scheduled today in Arizona. Looks like this physical may break the deal, all dependent on the outcome.

    About time teams stopped bailing out the Yankees.

    Yeah, they can keep their glorified catcher and you know they'll screw up Betances' development. S'all good.
