In the midst of a heated playoff race, the Cleveland Indians have traded right-hander Trevor Bauer to the Cincinnati Reds and will get outfielder Yasiel Puig as part of a three-team deal that also includes the San Diego Padres, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Tuesday.
The Indians also will receive left-hander Logan Allen as part of the trade, while OF prospect Taylor Trammell will head to San Diego, sources said.
Entering Tuesday's games, Cleveland (62-43) was just two games behind the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central and had a three-game cushion atop the wild-card standings ahead.
