Blue Jays Acquire Esmil Rodgers

After just acquiring Mike Aviles from Boston to finish off the John Farrell deal, the Blue Jays shipped Aviles away to the tribe, along with Yan Gomes for Esmil Rodgers. The addition of Rodgers will help boost a shaky Jays rotation. Rodgers had pitched 53 innings and posted a respectable 3.06 E.R.A. for the tribe this season. On the other hand, the Indians got a nice addition in Mike Aviles. the 31 year old infielder batted .250 while Yan Gomes batted a mere .204 AVG. Both teams got a fair deal in this trade and hopefully all 3 of these players will perform well for there clubs this upcoming season.
