Indians Acquire Jordan Luplow, Max Moroff
6 years agoThe Cleveland Indians acquired outfielder Jordan Luplow and infielder Max Moroff from the Pirates on Wednesday in exchange for infielder Erik Gonzalez and minor league pitchers Tahnaj Thomas and Dante Mendoza. This trade doesn't move the needle all that much for fantasy or real life, but it gives the Tribe some more options for depth both in the outfield and on the infield. Luplow hit just .185 with three homers and seven RBI in 92 at-bats for Pittsburgh last year, but he hit .287 with eight long balls, 49 RBI and seven steals at Triple-A Indianapolis. Moroff hit .186 with three homers and nine RBI in 59 at-bats in the big leagues and .223 with eight homers and 38 RBI in 74 games with Indianapolis.
