The Cleveland Indians have traded outfielder James Ramsey and utility man Zach Walters to the Los Angeles Dodgers for cash considerations.
The Indians had designated both players for assignment just before the season began, along with pitcher Giovanni Soto, to make room for veterans Marlon Byrd, Ross Detwiler, and Joba Chamberlain.
Ramsey was a big surprise as he was just added to the Tribe’s 40-man roster back in November. Had the Indians not added him a team could have taken him in the Rule 5 Draft; however, that team would have had to keep him on their 25-man roster all season.
