When the non-waiver trade deadline passed on July 31, 2018, Cleveland Indians President of Baseball Operations Chris Antonetti announced on a conference call that the team had acquired Leonys Martin from the Detroit Tigers for Willi Castro and Kyle Dowdy.
The trade had been reported earlier in the day, and fans waited for a second trade up until the 4:00 p.m. deadline.
Around 4:25, on that same call, Antonetti announced there was indeed a second trade.
#Indians also made a trade for OF Oscar Mercado from the St. Louis Cardinals for a package including Conner Capel.
