Francisco Mejia is headed to San Diego. The Tribe’s top prospect is now a Padre, offered up in exchange for relief pitchers Brad Hand and Adam Cimber.
Why?
If only the Tribe’s bullpen woes were limited to Andrew Miller’s extended stint on the DL (from which we hope he’ll soon return). You know the story by now: Baseball’s best bullpen last season become this season’s worst. Ranking near the bottom of the league in both ERA (5.28) and FIP (4.85), the Indians bullpen has seen a revolving door of at least 20 different relief pitchers this season, few of them good.
