Brad Hand to the Indians
 

Per Rosenthal & Heyman

Hope he takes Allen's job for my fantasy team's sake :coffee:

Regardless, great pickup Hand is incredibly underrated.

Dayum!!!!!


would think Meija or T-Mac or Beiber would be invloved with a Nolan Jones type player

Wow, that'll be huge for the Tribe. Wonder what they gave up. He should be sneakily expensive with 3 years of control left. I'd think McKenzie and Mejia are safe, but I wonder if Bieber's on the move

Padres are going to have a bunch of nice young prospects.

Can't wait to see who they got for him. Padres had been valuing Hand incredibly high (and rightfully so with that contract).

Holy SH#@t it is Mejia

Mejia!!

Hedges who?

What’s worse?

Mejia to Padres

Or Diaz to O’s

Someone check on Tkraft please

Meija is a nice get for the Padres

jaw dropping...

You know, thinking about this more, I'm actually not that surprised. Top relievers with team control are going to be some of the best bargaining chips teams have. Mejia also feels like he's been falling this year rather than rising. Still a great trade for the Padres, I think

Obvious Indians think Hand = Andrew Miller 2.0. Friendly contract just like Miller.

Adam Cimber going to Indians too. He’s been solid this year. I think those two together are worth Mejia

Hand and Climber for Mejia, just like that

Wait, what happens to Hedges? His bats actually heating up as of late and he’s a great defender. Does he get dealt or play part time?

Who takes over in SD?

This assumes Padres see Mejia as a catcher. Wondering if he ends up in LF.

Don't think Mejia is quite ready to take over catching full time right away. Probably should start getting some time pretty quick, but the job should still be Hedges'..... for now

Is that for real?

Wow great move SD

Indians needed pen help so bad. It’s a good deal for. Both sides. I was hoping(praying) my cards could make something happen for Mejia but I know it was a long shot

Initially a Wash IMO

Big get for the Padres getting a top prospect

Indians had to make a bullpen splash and this is beyond a homerun.

2 for 1.

No other players invlved

I wouldn't be surprised to see Mejia head to AAA for SD for a bit. Keep improving. There isn't any reason for them to rush him to the majors and force his clock. They aren't winning this year.

I would expect him to win the job for opening day next season though, maybe a September call-up.


The Indians needed this depth in their bullpen though, they couldn't rely on Neil Ramirez and Dan Otero in October this year

and the dump begins as these two prospects go to baseball purgatory
