Grading the Cleveland Indians roster by position, post-trade deadline
The Cleveland Indians were able to pull off four trades at the deadline, letting go of six players while adding three to the organization. Most of the additions will add to the club’s minor league pool, but could all be contributors within the next few seasons. While the additions will go a long way to help the future of the organization, it hurts now.
Letting go of major league talent hurt the Tribe’s current roster, but the upside is we’ll get to see a sample size from other players who are coming up through the organization.
