INDIANS ADD VERSATILE LILLIBRIDGE
The Cleveland Indians acquired outfielder/infielder Brent Lillibridge from the Boston Red Sox for pitcher Jose De La Torre.
What does it give the Cleveland Guardians
In Lillibridge, the Indians get a multi-dimensional player who should see action all over the field. He will spell Johnny Damon in left field, particularly late in contests, while also playing at several other positions and earning starts against left-handed pitching. He's a solid pickup here.
What does it give the Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox recently acquired Lillibridge from the White Sox in the Kevin Youkilis, but he was clearly just a stop-gap measure. In De La Torre, Boston adds another potential reliever for their future bullpen. He doesn't have huge upside but could make his way to the big leagues within a year's time.
