Big Trade
A day after signing Tomas Reyes out of Cuba, the Cavaliers announced they have pulled off a trade in hopes to alleviate the log-jam of infielders that signing created... In a press conference where the trade was announced GM Tony Luke said, we got rid of two guys that haven't panned out the way we had hoped. We traded two guys that would be fighting for a roster spot, a draft pick and a prospect for two big prospects. I think we made out pretty good... once we signed Tomas, Mark had no where to go, so he had to be moved. He wasn't happy sitting on the bench last season. We wish both Jose and Mark the best of luck."
