Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Morris is in the MLB rotation right now if he's healthy to start the season.

Shame him and Cantillo got hurt. They were both turning a lot of the right heads until they both got hurt, and both were going to be moved aggressively with the backend question marks.

With what Quantrill is turning into as a starter, it cannot be stated enough how ridiculous the Clevinger return can potentially be for the team moving forward. Could be their sequel to the Bartolo trade if guys pan out the way they're hoping.

Then create a question people actually want to answer, instead of something with such a random and unappealing premise that nobody wants to waste their time on.

When it comes to random and unappealing premises that no one wants to waste their time on, I certainly defer to your expertise.

Restating the 9 player trade:

San Diego received Mike Clevinger, Greg Allen and a PTBNL (Matt Waldron):

-Mike Clevinger was injured and required TJ Surgery.. he'll be back in the spring of 2022..
-Greg Allen is now with the NYY's where he's their starting CF during Aaron Hicks' recovery
-Matt Waldron is in the Padres MiLB system at AA where he's a 24 y/o starting minor league pitcher..

Cleveland received Cal Quantrill, Josh Naylor, Austin Hedges, Gabriel Arias, Joey Cantillo and Owen Miller

-Cal Quantrill is in the process of establishing himself as a ML starting pitcher
-Josh Naylor has shown himself to be a slightly below average ML'er as a corner OF'er and 1B
-Austin Hedges is a solid defensive backstop that hits sporadically, at best.
-Owen Miller progressed through the MiLB system and has struggled offensively and defensively at the ML Level
-Joey Cantillo is a 21 y/o LHP that is progressing in MiLB... he should be promoted to a "full season team" later in 2021
-Gabriel Arias has progressed to AAA Columbus. He's approaching 1500 minor league at bats (he is what he is
going to be, at this point) and is well above average offensively and remains a solid to spectacular defensive player.

This is a good deal, so far.. It could be stated that evaluating the floor of this deal, the Indians get a win. More needs to be seen if this deal approaches the reverence shown for the Bartolo deal.. but it's not out of the question..

a year (actually 14 months) after the bartolo trade the only two players on a major league roster were tim drew and bartolo - 16 years later the only player on a major league roster was bartolo

Not even just that.

Barely got to put their hands on Rodriguez because he was always hurt. Shoulder issues in 2019, then a back issue in 2020 that he was unable to rehab and heal while in the Dominican during the Covid shutdown, so he spent all of 2020 rehabbing his back instead of pitching in alt site games. Back did not respond well, could never get it healthy enough to pitch and return to form so they cut bait.

Lot of talent with Jefry, but health and lack of good healthcare during Covid cost him his spot here.

Is my excitement for Battenfield and Pilkington misplaced in your opinion? I don't expect them to be Shane Biebers, but I think that they both have MOR upside. For the price I think they were steals.

He is 90 years old and a fictional character on the Simpsons?
