Weimer’s performance makes this deal prohibitive. He’s been terrible this season. That doesn’t mean he’ll be terrible going forward, but he’ll need to show better than a 78 OPS+ to draw interest from anyone. He certainly isn’t going to garner a prospect like Rocchio at this time.
I think if Cleveland would do this deal, they would just swap Rocchio for Wiemer…
I actually don’t think Cleveland will trade Rocchio to be sincere.
Weimer does not strike me as a Guardian type of player. 106 strike outs already, almost 31% of the time.
