Per Buster, Andrew Miller to Cleveland, Clint Frazier, Justus Sheffield and another prospect to New York. #Indians


Per Scout.com - Lucroy trade
Multiple reports indicate that prospects C Francisco Mejia, OF Greg Allen and SS Yu-Cheng Chang will be part of Cleveland's package to send to Milwaukee

the lucroy deal is good. cleveland has been dangling mejia for a while now. there are rumors that he's been a headache at every stop and his current output is not sustainable, therefore, they are selling high on him. Chang will never sniff middle infield here, and center field is held down pretty wellwith naquin, so allen isn't necessary to hold on to.

the package for miller stings a little, but given the current state of the indians, you can swallow it. overall, decent job of selling high on some guys and using players at blocked positions to sweeten the deal. also, lucroy is minimal napoli insurance if he walks in the offseason.

Edit: The Cubs front office must be pretty upset, as the yankees definitely got more for Chapman, who is going to walk in the offseason, than they did for a guy with 2.5 years of club control.
