CHC | CLE Trade

[Guardians GM (John)]

Cleveland trades:

Shane Bieber, SP, CLE - $13.125MM arb
Spencer Arrighetti, SP, HOU - MILB
Daniel Espino, SP, CLE - MILB
Zach Jackson, RP, OAK - MILB
2025 CLE 2nd round pick

Cubs trades:

Christopher Sanchez, SP, PHI - $8MM/yr through 2027

Rationale:
This is how the Shane chapter ends. A whale of a run. Patching a hole in my boat now that Shane's arm is blown. Moving some of my prospect arms hurt, but it's the cost of admission.

Thanks to Colin for easy talks.

[Cubs GM (Colin)]

Cubs agree.

I signed Sanchez in the offseason hoping he'd be with me for several years as my team grows. ~8 days into the season and he's gone. I'm glad to add the prospects and Bieber might well stick around with me come free agency since I'm not currently competing.

Great talking with John on an easy deal
