CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Indians' acquisition of Coco Crisp followed a much different path than their failed bid for Jonathan Lucroy. Crisp, like Lucroy, had the right to veto the deal because of his 10 and five rights – 10 years in the big leagues and five with the same team.
Unlike Lucroy, who vetoed his proposed trade from Milwaukee because the Indians were on his no-trade list, Crisp waived his 10 and five rights to clear the way for his trade to Cleveland.
Crisp, who started his big league career with the Indians in 2002, will be in uniform Friday following Thursday's off day.
