Trade Deadline Roundup: AL Central

By charliewilmoth | August 1, 2016 at 9:35pm CDT

Our series of trade deadline recaps continues with the AL Central, where the Indians grabbed the majority of the headlines.

  • The White Sox sent lefty Zach Duke to St. Louis in exchange for outfielder Charlie Tilson but did not make any other significant moves.
  • The Indians’ potential trade for star catcher Jonathan Lucroy was scuttled when Lucroy vetoed the deal, but they still managed huge move this week, albeit at a significant cost — they got Andrew Miller from the Yankees for minor-league outfielder Clint Frazier and pitchers Justus Sheffield, Ben Heller and J.P. Feyereisen. They also got outfielder Brandon Guyer from Tampa Bay for prospects Nathan Lukes and Jhonleider Salinas.
  • The Tigers hunted for pitching help but ultimately did not make any significant moves.
  • There was no shortage of rumors surrounding various Royals pitchers, including Wade Davis, but Kansas City’s deadline was mostly quiet, as they only swapped Brett Eibner to Oakland for fellow outfielder Billy Burns.
  • The Twins added Hector Santiago and minor-league righty Alan Busenitz from the Angels, giving up pitchers Ricky Nolasco and Alex Meyer. They also sent reliever Fernando Abad to Boston in return for relief prospect Pat Light, and infielder Eduardo Nunez to San Francisco for lefty Adalberto Mejia.

    Really wish the White Sox would choose a Direction …….. If next year is year 3 of 3 year plan then Spend some $ in offseason on people that get on base

      They have picked a direction – a holding pattern. Make a few moves around the margins and let the waiver trade market and offseason trade market determine whether they blow the whole thing up or tinker at the margins (like they always do). They will see if they can move Shields, Frazier or Robertson in a waiver trade in August – Shields is probably the only possibility. If you can get a haul for Sale and Quintana in the winter, you move them. IMO, they won’t move either one of them in the winter, make some half arsed trades and be in the same place they are now next season. White Sox should blow it up and move everybody but Anderson, Rodon and maybe Eaton.

    Can’t believe the new Twins GM (can’t remember his name) had the balls to make any trades at all. Seriously surprised

    Minnesota/L.A. Angels was the shocker trade. Really thought the Indians would pull the shocker & trade for a SP. Anderson (necessity) & Clevenger (Due to inning restraits from T.J. surgery) are relief options now. I feel the Indians knew Salazar’s issue was more serious then they let on (Velocity is down, completely different pitcher the last 6 starts). I thought it was to decoy other MLB teams so they could get a starter cheap at the deadline. Indians probably tried, a lot of stuff doesn’t get reported. Guyer trade was simply done to make a move & DFA Uribe who’s struggling (Cowgill is @ Columbus is the same age as Guyer & could of filled the platoon OF job playing all 3 positions). Indians as usual won’t trade for a rental (Pierce) unless the player is a big impact (Thus the Indians interest in Beltran). It’s Crazy Joba/Uribe DFA’s hurt the team chemistry IMO (even though Uribe has nothing left). Yet Mcalister/Aguilar (our 1B insurance Yikes!) remain on the 40 man. Add today should of been 1B/2B/OF Pearce a better player/threat then Guyer ( but he has the year of control the Indians covet).

    My question is what the hell were the Tigers thinking? We’re close to a WC but we make no moves to try to get a SP, I’m sure Gerber could get hellickson

      With the price of pitching, Gerber probably wasn’t enough. Zimmerman is back this week. Hopefully Norris will be right behind him. Boyd has been surprisingly decent. Jimenez may soon join the bullpen. May not have been a trade, but it doesn’t mean no hope.
