#Indians GM Chris Antonetti just said this deal does not mean they're waving the white flag. Still trying to add help next 24 hours.

To be clear, in no way would I consider dealing Masterson and Asdrubal "raising the white flag".

Both have been HUGE disappointments and major reasons for the mediocrity so far.

Add Kipnis, Swisher and Bourn to that list. Kipnis was looking like the offensive lynchpin to this team last year, but has come up mostly empty this year.

What's the difference if Asdrubal is replace by Aviles/Jose Ramirez? At least Ramirez has speed.

Rosenthal indicating several teams are interested in Alex Rios including the Indians.

HB - obviously a sucking Masterson, free in a few months, will not command Oscar Taveras. That said, it's easy to see why they'd take a shot on a 2012 first rounder who is hitting .300, slugging .527 and .OPS of .916, .OBP of .389 in the year 2014 - two years later.

Time will tell.

@jjcoop36: Obviously Cardinals could trade an OF since they have such a surplus. That being said, I think Ramsey becomes Indians' 2nd best OF prospect

@BerniePleskoff: Haven't seen Zimmer- Frazier (longer-term) Naquin and then Ramsey. Those 3 and Brantley form a solid outfield. Frazier furthest away.

Trade acquisition James Ramsey is expected to join Clippers on Thursday, per MGR Chris Tremie. Will require roster move.
