Cleveland sends:
Albert Belle
Bobby Thighpen
Jose Rijo
Tyler Walker
Tim Redding
(all free agents, good luck!)
St. Louis sends:
Matt Lawton
Cristian Guzman
Morgan Ensberg
Tyler Yates
Ryan Vogelsong
I wasn't even looking to trade but was convinced this was a good move for me because they are all free agents and I can't resign them all and I'm already negative on the balance sheet. So, here we are. I need some positional prospects.

I just wanted to note first that Albert Belle, Tyler Walker and Tim Redding are not free agents. I would not have done the trade had they all been. I need that noted because we have a GM always questioning me and he happens to be the GM of the very team I hope to overtake for 1st.
That said, I accept and realize I only received rentals of Thigpen and Rijo but that is all I need.
