Yeah, the amount of years of team control is crazy. Cimber is a good arm and I think this is a great trade for Cleveland. I thought they were sending Mejia+. I mean Mejia might not even stick at C, and his bat might regress. Lots of ways this trade goes south for SD. huh? this trade literally cannot go south because SD is a terrible team and they turned a reliever into what should be an impact bat. Even if Mejia never pans out they got a top 5 prospect for ... relievers. Last year when they tried to move Hand no one offered anything close to Mejia, so this is a huge win for them The opportunity cost is a real thing. Other teams were probably offering prospect packages for Hand + Cimber as well. Probably no prospect as good as Mejia, but more prospects in return. Sometimes unranked prospects or lower ranked prospects end up being really good players. I'm not super high on Mejia and think he's slightly overrated. We'll see what happens.
