Indians/Astros

[Guardians GM (Thomas)]

Cleveland trades:
Scott Schebler OF LAA - 2021: $1.0M (70% covered) - $0.3M increase to Houston's payroll
Canaan Smith-Njigba OF PIT - 2021: $0.3M (66% covered) - $0.1M increase to Houston's payroll
Blayne Enlow - P MIN - 2021: $0.3M (66% covered) - $0.1M increase to Houston's payroll

Houston trades:
Chad Kuhl P PIT - 2021: $0.5M (Arb A)

Cleveland Accepts.

While Chad Kuhl has historically not been a very good pitcher, he is still a starter at the MLB level, which is nice because I have not hit a start limit ever. He has also been trending up lately as he has changed his pitch mix and throws his slider a lot more which has yielded some nice results. While I like Smith-Njigba, the SP points now outweigh the future on him, as well as Enlow who just had TJ surgery a couple of weeks ago. Schebler was a throw in for me in the Davies deal earlier this season and he has some minimal value now that he's back in the big leagues.

Great dealing with you, Will

[Astros GM (Will)]

I really like Smith-Njigba. He’s a sturdy boy with power and I don’t have many of those types of prospects. Schebler will help provide some additional depth with Polanco potentially heading to the IL.

Thanks Thomas, you are a gem.

[Nationals GM (Tim)]

Approve. Is this the first time prospect cap has been covered? If so, amazing!

And I agree. Thomas is a gem.

I'm sure Stros have a couple specs that are shit, why not just cut them? (Not a dig at you Will, in general theres a few specs that don't pan out)
