The Cleveland Guardians announced that they’ve traded Bradley Zimmer to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for pitcher Anthony Castro.
The move comes mere hours after Cleveland dropped their season opener to the Royals. A game in which rookie outfielder Steven Kwan drew a pair of walks, recorded a hit, and just generally looked like a major-leaguer. Now, I’m not saying one game made them pull the trigger on this deal, but they’ve been seeing this kind of thing from Kwan all spring and throughout his whole career. At the very least, let’s hope this trade gives him consistent playing time going forward.
