I to agree to trade. I feel  Greene will be a very good starter this year. I'm getting a  good rp in Jones I feel if  he comes back from injury he will be the closer for the whitesox. In olt I'm getting a younger ci and holding he can help my team. He had 12 hrs last season I'm hopeing he can hit 20+ this year. In getting slowey know that he is with Phillies with there team in shambles I'm hoping he can turn it around and be on opening roster as a 4th or 5th sp.

I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud here, but adding Olt and Paulino doesn't really improve the trade.  Olt used to be a highly thought of prospect and was given a shot as a starter at 3B in 2014.  He failed miserably.  He did hit 12 HRs, but he was below the Mendoza line and struck out 100 times in 89 games.  Paulino is an injury riddled SP who never made it back from his Tommy John surgery, pitched  poorly in 4 games in 2014 and spent the rest of the year on the DL.  The Red Sox are getting proven CI while the Indians, beyond O'Connor, and maybe Greene, are getting nothing more than roster fodder.

The deal is even adding $0.5m to the Indians, a team with a salary cap problem. 

 

[Paul S.]

gets the advantage but there is a remote possibility that Olt can figure things out.

I think the remote chance Olt figures it out combined with my fealing that Pablo will be a flop in Boston allows me to approve this

I agree with Flash... It's O'Conner, who has had one decent statistical season yet everyone loves him now, Greene, and fluff for Panda. I don't think it's enough, especially in a league that values hitters by a wide margin over pitchers.

This trade has received three vetoes and is now an Invalid Transaction.  One of the key players involved (Pablo Sandoval) has already become part of another trade with another team.
