And the big three ways goes down:
Indians get Bauer, Stubbs, Albers, Shaw
Reds get Choo, Donald, $3.5 MM
Diamondbacks get Sipp, Gregorius, Anderson
Like the deal from the Reds perspective despite getting weaker on d and having a corner OF in CF but they have their lead off man to place in front of a powerful offense. Jocketty is a solid GM and will find a cheap, defensive whiz as a late inning replacement in a late spring waiver wire pick up.
Don't quite understand the Diamondbacks position. Guess they really didn't value Bauer as high as others which is interesting given they had him starting within a year of drafting out of college. Only guess is that they considered him uncoachable with a funky delivery
Indians who it seemed were going after veterans this offseason appeared to ditch that approach and are restocking their prospects who have a number of cost control years ahead of them.
