I heard Edwin is going to Tampa as well.

Another little wrinkle that hasn't been mentioned: Seattle is sending $6 Million in cash considerations to the Tribe.

Someone on local radio did the math and figured that this save the Tribe 9 million. Add the $7M they saved on the Gomes deal and they have some cash to work with. Maybe they can move Alonso for an outfielder or a relief pitcher.

On another note, now that we moved Edwin, this helps when/if we move Kluber or Bauer. We can now get a max return for either because now we don't have to include a big contract with them. This makes me think that they're not moving Kipnis.
