Cesar Hernandez traded to White Sox, Konnor Pilkington to CLE

Hernandez is a switch-hitting 2B, with 18 HRs and a WRC+ of 100. League average hitter is an upgrade over our current 2B.

Owed about $2M more for the rest of 2021 and has a $6M 2022 team option with no buyout.

Solid, unspectacular pickup to fill an obvious hole.

I don’t hate this at all

Depends on who we give up. Also, as much as this looks like a white flag trade for the Indians...they'll just call up Gimenez. Hernandez is probably their 3rd best hitter though and he always seemed to come up with some big hits for them.

Ahhhhh man..........Not a fan of this guy or this move.  Only solace I take is he has hit 18 homers this year, we need more pop, but over his career he is not a homerun hitter.  This dude has to bat 9th when everybody is back in the line-up.

Not that far off what Escobar was putting up yea?

Escobar had a 105 wRC+. Hernandez is at exactly 100. Both switch hitters, both good fielders at 2B. They're very close.
