Indians trade: Drew Pomeranz- SP/RP, 5th, 1.0 Jordan Walden- RP, 6th, 1.2 Alen Hanson- 2B, 1st, 0.3 (Pirates) www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa547735&position=2B/SSTrevor Plouffe- 1B/3B, 6th, 1.0 Rockies trade: Jose Altuve- 2B, 6th, 6.4 Chad Bettis- SP, 3rd, 1.0 SP - Aaron Harang 2016 $0.3 RP - Carlos Villanueva 2016 $0.3 RP - Mark Lowe 2016 $0.3 Indians cap: +4.8 Rockies cap: -4.8 I feel like this gives me a piece for whom I can pick up a better collection of prospects down the road. Altuve is a top-3 2B, not quite 26, and becomes the best player on my team at the moment. I also like Bettis. Pom/Walden/Plouffe are solid regulars, but Hanson's gonna be really good as soon as this year. Anyway, I think this works for both of our teams, but hopefully somebody'll pay me in a collection of great prospects for Altuve's services. Good deal, Rockies.

This feels like one of those deals you look back on in October and you rue the day... but maybe it could also help prolong my window for another year or two. This one is certainly no slam dunk.
For me I hope this looks to the future and the present simultaneously - maybe Hanson is the long term successor to Altuve (is 60-70% of his production starting at some point later on this season too much to hope for?), whilst Pomeranz, Walden and Plouffe are all back of the roster guys whose low salary contributions add up through the year and can be really quite valuable.
Good dealing, as ever, Indians. I'll be interested to see what you can shake loose for Altuve further down the line - everyone was well tight with me!
