This seems like a solid package, provided the Padres truly do decide to become buyers and go for it. It would be even better if there was an OF prospect involved, as I’m not sure Naylor is the right fit for Cleveland.
I know the Padres want a top of the rotation pitcher and the Indians need outfielders. My problem with Naylor, who the Padres are playing in the outfield, and Reyes is that they are not good defensively. Cleveland values defense. I liked the Reyes trade I suggested more than this one. Naylor’s brother is a prospect in the Indians system. If the Indians trade Bauer, I want them to get players that can help now, as well as, later.
