Texas send:
Xander Bogaerts (BOS) 16:500K, 17:500K, 18:500K Smyly,Drew (TB) 16:1.25M, 17:1.25M Herrera, Odubel (PHI) 16:500K 17:500K 18:500K 19:500K
Cleveland send:
A.J. Pollock (ARI) 16:0.5M; 17:0.5M Carlos Carrasco (CLE) 16:3M (arb) 2017 1st round pick Chris Heston (SF) 16:0.5M; 17:0.5M
As the injuries have piled up, it's really about getting pieces for now. Smyly's not quite Carrasco but he's got a six week headstart now, and Xander and Odubel are solid pieces. Also given I couldn't FT both Stras and Carrasco, trading away one of them to someone who would FT them made sense. It's hard not to have Pollock next year and via FT after but desperate times call for desparate measures- Steve gets the studs long term and I get the help I need in the short term.

Agreed
I've got a ton of prospects so now the focus is on acquiring some MLB talent. I had no one I was planning on FT so now I got that covered and hopefully Pollock is ready next season plus I picked up another 1st Rd pick. Tough to let go of Boggerts but I've got a ton of SS in the minors coming up soon so I needed to clear a roster spot anyways
