What comes next?

I have to say, I don't like either end of this deal. I'm not happy giving up Coco, I'm not happy giving up Rhodes, and I'm not happy with having Michaels in Coco's place. Geez, it's almost like Shapiro was so desperate to make these deals, he didn't even care that Mota failed his damn physical. What the hell?

This trade is good for the Tribe. After Rhodes came back, he was terrible and Michaels is a serviceable left fielder for the time being.

As I have said on other threads, I've warmed to this trade. I'm in love with this trade if Mota stays healthy, and Marte turns into Mike Schmidt.
