Indians trade Betancourt to Rockies
The wigwam cleaning continues with the Tribe dealing RHP Rafael Betancourt to the Rockies for RHP Connor Graham (Class A-Modesto).
Thought there was some talk here about kicking the bullpen tires on Betancourt - guess Jimbo can cross him off the list.

Very solid trade for the Rockies
Graham wasn’t really on my radar, well, as much as I can follow other organizations systems these days. Decent arm, and while Betancourt isn’t what he once was, it’s a good gamble for a team that lost Manny Corpas and rushed top prospect Jhoulys Chacin up in a weird scenario to fill a bullpen role (they let him pitch 1 inning, pulled him – felt like a trade coming, but they ended up skipping him over the more ready Esmil Rogers … still could be a showcase I guess).
