As I mentioned in my previous article, the Indians could use help at various positions to round out a playoff-caliber position player part of their roster. A couple of guys who come to mind are:
Jedd Gyorko - The signals are that the Cardinals would be willing to move him. He is on the 60 day DL but appears to be coming off soon.
Asdrubal Cabrera -He is versatile and could help us as he is also a switch hitter.
So, swallowing hard but thinking to the present, what about:
Jedd Gyorko and a minor leaguer (RHP Seth Elledge?) for Jake Bauers
Asdrubal Cabrera and a AZL prospect similar to Victor Nova for Tyler Naquin
These are young-for-older rental player trades but if we also got a young guy in each deal who has some upside but is years away, I would do these trades.
Just to be clear, I HATE these kind of trades because they sometimes come back to bite you in the butt and, in Bauers case, because we traded him for Yandy Diaz who is raking, but I think these types of veterans might help solidify the clubhouse. and make our ML roster more playoff-formidable.
Any thoughts?
