Cleveland | Houston Trade

[Guardians GM (John)]

Cleveland trades:

Cookie Carrasco, SP, NYM - $14MM
Zach Plesac, SP, CLE - 3 arbitration years

Houston trades:
Ian Happ, OF, CHC - $10.85MM Arb

Rationale:
"You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain". I have become Larry Dolan and I don't like it. I love Cookie and didn't like Dolan tossing him out the door in the Lindor trade and here I am.

Swapping pitching for OF help...easy chats with Jason!

[Astros GM (Jason)]

Astros accept. With OF being my strength I felt I really needed some pitching. Easy chatting with John
