CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Indians traded versatile third baseman Casey Blake and cash to the Los Angeles Dodgers for two minor leaguers on Saturday.
You know, I knew they were officially throwing in the towel when they traded CC. But this is just rubbing it in. What, the team was playing TOO WELL after Sabathia left town, so you had to crush our souls another way?
For the record, here’s what came back:
In exchange for Blake, the Indians got catcher Carlos Santana and right-hander Jonathan Meloan.
Works for me, Meloan is apparently a stud, and I’ve missed calling Johan Santana the Black Magic Pitcher since he moved to the Mets. (See, it’s all about the on-air jokes.)
