Breaking News: Deadly mall shooting in Oregon
I like the trade but I think a few people are selling Didi short. He's a legit top 100 prospect with great tools. There isn't much more valuable in the post steroid era than a shortstop with a high ceiling.
Internet comes back on and I see this. Wow. A real obp guy to lead off. This would be more than I hoped for.
Walt sure runs a tight-lipped crew.

Three-team trade, per source, will look like this: Choo, Jason Donald to #Reds, Gregorius to #Diamondbacks, Stubbs, AZ pitcher to #Indians.

Corbin, Skaggs and Bauer were among #Diamondbacks pitchers who were in play. #Indians would get one in this deal; Skaggs unlikely.
For what it's worth, Donald is also a Boras client...
John Fay @johnfayman
Donald hit .202/.246/.282 with Indians and .277/.365/.441 in AAA. Could fill utility role. #reds
If it's Bauer or Skaggs, I may have preferred to have acquire the AZ pitcher directly for DiDi.
If it's Corbin, I think it's a very good trade for all three teams.
Donald was a guy the Reds were talking about acquiring from Philly back at the 09 deadline when he was a prospect. Instead the Indians acquired him in the Cliff Lee package. Probably delays Henry Rodriguez's big league debut.
