TEX | CLE Trade

[Guardians GM (John)]

Cleveland Trades:

Gordon Graceffo, SP, STL - MILB
Luis Vazquez, MI, CHC - MILB
Stone Garrett, OF, WAS - $850K 2024, $850K 2025, 3 years of arbitration
Alex Lange, RP, DET - $850K 2024, 3 years of arbitration
James Karinchak, RP, CLE - $1.9MM 2024, 2 years arbitration

Texas Trades:
Kirby Yates, RP, TEX  - $3.0MM

Rationale: 
Summer cleaning.  Some of my dart throws have not panned out and I need to replenish my bullpen before another arm goes down.

[Rangers GM (David)]

Texas accepts.

Easy dealing with Cleveland. Selling a closer that isn't helping me this season for some roster-filler pieces the next couple of years and a nice spec in Graceffo and a dart throw in Vazquez. The rebuild carries on.

Good luck to John in his title pursuits.
