You guys are headed the right direction though. Ubaldo will be around for a few years. Worst case scenario you can flip him to the Yankees or Red Sox for a nice haul after this season during their annual arms raceAwesome trade for the Indians.

Bourn and Ludwick. Give me either, but preferably Bourn. But cant give up anyone who figures into future and Pom and White are gone.

Yeah, we get him for 3.5 years. But Im not sure his production (+our 5th starter) will be better than Pomeranz + White over the years. Thats the best way to make the trade comparable, and I see Colorado as being beneficiaries. The thing that would help the Tribe is if Ubaldo helps us win the Central THIS YEAR.

Only have him for 2.5 years. the trade nullified the club option for 2014.

I don't love it, but I like the aggressiveness. Hopefully a bat comes later tonight.

I do agree with this. I'd much rather see an aggressive front office than one that sits back and watches us slip under .500 without doing a thing. At least they're trying. That's new for us Indians fans...

Well. Sizemore is gonna be gone. Fuk is gonna be gone. So
LF - Brantley or Ludwick
CF - Bourn or Brantley
RF - Choo
Carrerra is UTL.

Horrible trade for the tribe. This guy had one good season...and we trade White and Pomeranz for him? And LaPorta....you still suck.

Yeah I understand next year, but this year is more what I was talking about. Especially when Choo returns and then when/if Grady returns as wellMy question is where they will play all these outfielders
