The Yankees have traded Miller to the Indians for OF Clint Frazier and SP Justus Sheffield. The Indians also acquired Lucroy from the Brewers. - Krusty Jul 31, 06:24 20

  - Haha at Suzyn Waldman and John Sterling for saying Miller was untouchable. - Tim Jul 31, 07:11 5
    - It's the worst lie GMs tell. -- nm - David's iPad Jul 31, 08:10
    - They're idiots. They didn't need to move him but he has real value with two more years of control on an affordable contract. I'm happy that they're - Krusty Jul 31, 07:17 3
      - The Miller for Giolito deal wasn't actually on the table. Cashman would've been nuts to pass that up. -- nm - Tim Jul 31, 07:20 2
        
        100% -- nm - ML Jul 31, 07:26
