Well, that was certainly an emotional roller coaster, huh?
Around dinner time last night, Jeff Passan dropped a massive trade involving the Guardians. Cleveland was sending its Platinum Glove-winning second baseman, Andrés Giménez, to the Toronto Blue Jays along with Nick Sandlin.

Initially, the return was Toronto’s rookie 1B/2B/cOF Spencer Horwitz and outfield prospect Mick Mitchell, which was a great return in exchange for Giménez and Sandlin, as Cleveland was set to shed all of its remaining money owed to Giménez and nab a potential day-one starter lefty bat.
