Comments
4Not sure the Dylan Bundy part works (because I'm not sure Cleveland is interested) but the idea behind the deal is the Orioles want prospects, the Indians would unload Bauer if they got another quality bat that makes them better now and in the future, and the Braves are looking for a frontline starter and bullpen help.
I don't see the Indians trading Trevor Bauer until the off season. I don't see Trey Mancini as enough of an improvement to make to go from Bauer down to Bundy.
Why wouldn't the Braves just trade a lesser prospect for Bundy straight up and leave the Indians out?

I don't think Dylan Bundy is an upgrade for many contenders. He's mostly a throw in to the deal.
