The #Indians have ponied up some cold, hard cash money to acquire LHP Jayson Aquino from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

.

I looked at this kids stats. Not too God awful bad. Although he has very K's per innings pitched. Must be a soft tossing lefty.

we're his 4th organization in 2 years. That's not impressive. I'll see if he ever made BA's prospect lists for this various teams.

He was good enough, or prospectively good enough, to be on the Rockies' 40-man roster, but not good enough to stay there.

I'd rather have retained our own LHP Aquino, Elvis, who's moved to the Philly's bullpen after never get past AA with us through 2014.

Geez, why is it so hard to figure out that the Indians are using the savings from Murphy to offset signings of their draft picks.

Majority complained about signing Murphy. Murphy traded and we expect a prospect ? Indians got what they wanted.

Brewers had a deal with Mets for Gomes, but Mets pulled out due to a concern over a hip ailment. Boras, Gomes' agent, says there is no ailment. As soon as deal fell through, Indians contacted Brewers again.

That's the rumor anyway.

As long as Bourn keeps hitting I say keep the Gomes rumors alive.

Not sure who this guy is, apparently a writer for SB Nation. He throws this out late tonight ...

Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo: Industry buzz is that the Cardinals and Indians may be on the verge of a significant trade.

@ChrisCotillo: Hearing Rob Kaminsky's name a lot in terms of Indians-Cardinals potential deal. #3 prospect, per @MLBPipeline.

@ChrisCotillo: Source confirms Indians and Cardinals have had discussions centered around Brandon Moss.

@Joelsherman1: Heard #Indians also were very interested in Carlos Gomez. So stay tuned. #Mets #Brewers

Jordan Bastian @MLBastian: Per http://t.co/IjYEQBFBQp: Kaminsky is Cards' No. 3 prospect, No. 10 among MLB's LHP prospects. 1st rounder in '13. 2.15 ERA 3 pro seasons.

He's not a short lefty but apparently not a soft-tosser. Sounds like more than I'd expect a team to give up for Moss.

Yeah, me too. Gotta be more going on. Too good to believe.

Wow, St.Louis Post Dispatch is reporting its a done deal. Moss for Kaminsky.

If true this was a great trade.

Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo:
Indians-Cards deal is done: it is the Brandon Moss-for-Rob Kaminsky one-for one-swap.

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal:
Can also confirm now that #STLCards have acquired Moss from #Indians for Kaminsky. First reported: @ChrisCotillo.

Jordan Bastian @MLBastian:
Confirmed: Indians will acquire STL pitching prospect Rob Kaminsky for OF Brandon Moss.

Jim Callis @jimcallisMLB:
This Brandon Moss for Rob Kaminsky talk isn't really serious, is it? Flat-out robbery by Cleveland if true. @Cardinals @Indians

I have to agree with Callis. This was a steal.. Kaminsky is a legit, good, SP prospect.
