The Indians have acquired 32-year old righty reliever Winston Abreu from the Rays for 24-year old righty reliever John Meloan. Abreu pitched in 2 games (0 starts) for the Rays this season and he was 0-0 with a 2.45 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. The Indians must have been scouting Abreu in AAA-ball where he was dominating this season. He pitched in 23 games (0 starts) in AAA-ball this season and he was 3-0 with 10 saves, a 1.41 ERA and a 0.75 WHIP. Abreu whiffed 49 batters in AAA this season while only allowing 14 hits in 32 innings. Abreu has 35 games (0 starts) of major league experience and he is 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP. The Indians will likely be adding Abreu to the active roster as they need bullpen help in the worst way. Meloan was the #18 prospect in the Indians’ minor league system coming into this season according to Baseball America. Meloan has pitched in 25 games (2 starts) in AAA-ball this season and he is 0-0 with a 5.52 ERA and a 1.57 WHIP. This could be a trade that works out for both teams.
