Trade: Astros/Indians 7-14-19 12:10 am ET

[Brent]

The Astros and Indians agree on the following trade.  The Astros acquire Bote who gives them position flexibility and is a fan favorite after his walkoff grandslam against the Nats on August 12, 2018.  The Astros get a spec they like a lot in Sanchez.  Reed is finally getting his chance, but with recent acquisitions and promotions, I have some depth at CI.  I was going to resign either Kemp or Smith and with this it allows me to only have to resign Smith while dealing Kemp to someone who can use him.  Thanks for the negotiations.  Indians to confirm.

CI-MI Bote, David, $0.5m (P-2021)
OF Sanchez, Jesus, $0.5m (P-n/a)

for

CI Reed, AJ, $0.5m (P-n/a)
OF Kemp, Tony, $0.5m (P-2019)
