The Cleveland Indians trade infielder Jorge Velandia to the Rays
The Indians have traded 33-year old righty swinging infielder Jorge Velandia to the Rays for cash considerations. Velandia played in 13 games for the Indians and Blue Jays this season and he was 3 for 22 (.136 avg, .356 OPS) with 1 run scored. He also has played in 112 games in AAA ball this season and he was 103 for 413 (.249 avg, .660 OPS) with 51 runs scored, 6 homers and 33 RBIs. The Indians won’t miss Velandia and they can probably use the cash.
