GM Chris Antonetti just told Jason Donald that he and Choo have been traded to the Reds. #indians.

Good for Cleveland. They are taking the right steps in the right direction to rebuild that franchise.

Reds might be getting LHP Tony Sipp
Didi Gregorius @DidiG18
I want to thank the @Reds nd the fans for everything but Now I'm heading to the Dbacks... Same life new team
Huge move by the Reds. Upgrading Stubbs was critical.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Reds maybe getting another player, too.
Wow, that's interesting. Sipp would be a nice arm out of the 'pen. Solid numbers for the Tribe:

Career OPS of .344 against LHP. Never below .338. Has no real power against LHP but still gets on base at a very acceptable clip.
I'll also take in to consideration that compensation pick that comes along with him. So in reality getting another high ceiling player in return even when you lose Choo. As far a the D goes, I expect him or Bruce to be "serviceable"...
When it comes down to it, the offense part of baseball is a one-on-one game. But I can't help but feel Choo may be the missing piece that makes this an explosive lineup, beyond the metrics.
Classy. Best of luck to Didi too.Didi Gregorius @DidiG18
