Indians acquire Blue Jays star Donaldson

Josh Donaldson is heading to the Cleveland Indians after he was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays traded 2015 American League MVP and three-time MLB All-Star Donaldson to the Indians for a player to be named later.

Donaldson – who also attracted interest from the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies and St Louis Cardinals – was on a rehab assignment with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays on Friday.

The 32-year-old has been sidelined since May 28 with a calf injury.

"I love the guy," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.
