3Cleveland is still in the race, and I'm not sure they'll move Bauer or Hand. And even if they did, if they're moving both in the same deal I think they'd want more certainty than what they're getting here. Andujar's defense was enough of a concern before the injury, and if he's just a 1B going forward, his value goes way down. Frazier makes sense (especially if he can turn his own defensive issues around) and Loasiga has some upside, but I'm not sure the Indians would be too eager to trade for Andujar.

The Indians already said they'll do the trade if they get MLB talent in an OF(Frazier) and young pitcher(Loaisiga)!
They might have said they're open to talking deals if they get MLB talent in return. But that doesn't mean they'd definitely trade their two biggest chips for any young OF and SP another team offers, especially when they come with huge question marks - Frazier's defensive issues and Loaisiga's lack of MLB success. But they make enough sense. My biggest issue here is the injured Andujar as the headliner. By the numbers, he's providing the bulk of the value in this deal, but he makes the least sense for Cleveland.
