:BOS: get
CF Michael Brantley (90) - age 28 - $9M through 2015
SP Yohan Pino (86) - age 31 - $4.8M through 2015
:CLE: get
SP Justin Verlander (92) - age 32 - $18M through 2019
*SP Manuel Rivera (77) - age 25 - $500k through 2015
*Trade Rivera first to get around Verlander's NTC.
BOS accepts. Didn't expect to trade Verlander away, but his lack of production in Boston makes me believe someone else would be a better fit. And Brantley will definitely be my new leadoff hitter.This trade also helps me financially for now.
