The Cleveland Indians and Oakland Athletics have agreed to a trade will bring outfielder Coco Crisp back to the place where his career started. The 36-year old Crisp, who debuted with the Indians back in 2002, provides veteran playoff experience and depth for the postseason, as Abraham Almonte will not be eligible for the playoffs due to his PED suspension in spring training.
In exchange for Crisp and cash considerations, Cleveland is sending minor leaguer Colt Hynes to Oakland. Hynes is a 31-year old left-handed pitcher currently in Double-A, having made only 27 major league appearances in his 10-year career.
