The Indians have acquired All-Star reliever Brad Hand and right-handed relieve
r Adam Cimber from the Padres, sending prized catching prospect Francisco Meji
a to San Diego.
Hand signed a three-year extension in January that pays him $3.5 million for 2
018, $6.5 million next year, and $7 million in 2020. The deal also has a $10 m
illion club option (with a $1 million buyout) for 2021.
This acquisition is therefore somewhat similar to when the Indians got Andrew
Miller from the Yankees at the 2016 Trade Deadline while he still had 2 1/2 ye
ars remaining on his contract. They traded outfielder Clint Frazier, then thei
r No. 1 prospect, and are trading away their top prospect again for another el
ite left-handed reliever with multiple years of team control. Miller is eligib
le for free agency this winter.
Mejia is the No. 15-ranked prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline.
