Tribe, D-backs, Reds complete nine-player deal
Quote:
For some time, the Indians have known that, eventually, there would be a day in which Shin-Soo Choo would likely don another franchise's uniform.
That day arrived on Tuesday, when the Tribe traded the right fielder to the Reds in a three-team, nine-player exchange that sent outfielder Drew Stubbs and pitcher Trevor Bauer to Cleveland and shortstop Didi Gregorius to Arizona.
The Indians also receive relievers Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw from the D-backs. Cleveland sent Choo, infielder Jason Donald and cash to the Reds and southpaw reliever Tony Sipp and first baseman Lars Anderson to Arizona.
Choo can become a free agent at the end of the 2013 campaign. Cleveland made repeated attempts at negotiating a long-term pact with the South Korea native, but couldn't make enough headway with agent Scott Boras. Choo earned $4.9 million last season.
