TRIBE, RAYS SWAP PITCHERS

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired pitcher Winston Abreu from the Cleveland Indians for pitcher Jon Meloan.

What does it give the Cleveland Guardians
The Tribe continue to seek out relievers, as they have struggled all season to find the right bullpen mix. They hope Abreu can become part of the solution.

What does it give the Tampa Bay Rays
Meloan has more potential than Abreu, but he has yet to put it all together at triple-A. The Rays can afford to be a little more patient with Meloan than Cleveland was.
