The Cleveland Indians acquired veteran outfielder Jay Bruce from the New York Mets in a trade Wednesday night. The Indians have agreed to pick up the roughly $4.2 million that is left of Bruce's $13 million salary this season, a source confirmed.

Minor league pitcher Ryder Ryan is headed to New York in the trade. Ryan, 22, was a 30th-round pick by Cleveland out of the University of North Carolina in the 2016 MLB first-year player draft. He's 3-4 with a 4.79 ERA for Lake County in the Class A Midwest League this season. He has recorded six saves while appearing in 33 games -- all in relief.

Bruce, a three-time All-Star, is hitting .258 with 29 homers and 75 RBIs this year. He gives the Indians a corner outfielder and established bat to replace Michael Brantley, who went on the disabled list Monday with a sprained ankle. Lonnie Chisenhall has also been on the disabled list since early July with a strained calf.

Basically a salary dump by the Mets.

Never been the biggest Jeter fan, but if anyone can make baseball work in Florida, he's got as good a chance as any to do it. Will be good for the game to watch him give it a try.

BTW, I have a couple good Jeter snippets for you guys from an event we did last week from a teammate of his.

Good on Jetes. He'll figure out how to make them winners.

See if his abilities in the FO work, like John Elway.

It's so impressive to watch them. Seems like every game they lose they're in it to the end too. And they have a 20 game lead and they're still playing games like it means the world.

Seager and Bellinger are just scratching the surface of what they can be. And I still love Taylor and am starting to really like Austin Barnes. Then you add a still loaded minor league system and guys like Urias back in a year or two? Wow.

Finalized

PHILADELPHIA -- The Milwaukee Brewers added a second-base upgrade for the stretch drive on Saturday, acquiring Neil Walker and cash from the New York Mets for a player to be named later.

The Brewers are 60-59 -- third in the National League Central and two games behind division leader Chicago. Milwaukee's second-base contingent, which consists primarily of Jonathan Villar and Eric Sogard, ranks last in the league with a .672 OPS.

The Brewers had expressed interest in Ian Kinsler of the Detroit Tigers, before shifting their attention to Walker since the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. Walker became eligible to be traded to any team after recently clearing waivers.

Walker, 31, hit .264 with 10 home runs and 36 RBIs in 73 games with New York this season.

He has a career .272/.339/.437 slash line over nine seasons with the Pirates and the Mets. New York acquired Walker from Pittsburgh in a trade for pitcher Jon Niese in December 2015.

Interesting. I'm a homer, but I think the Twins have games decided by wrong balls/strike calls ALL the time.
Usually in a bad way.
Now that the leagues golden boys are starting to whine, will be interesting to see if things start moving.
God forbid the Cubs should have ONE game decided by a mistaken ump.
And oh, yeah ... its was 6-2 at the time.

I know it will piss off some of the purists but I'm still all for robotic/electronic balls/strikes. And I think it's just a matter of time.

There was a great piece from Eric Byrnes on it a few months back, who's pushed for it for awhile now. It's seemless and easy. You can still have a person behind the plate for the other calls, but he just gets an instantaneous call relayed to him whether it was a ball or strike.

These pitchers have too much velocity and movement now for these guys to accurately judge them. And yes, there's bias. And yes, those calls CHANGE GAMES. I believe the stat from Byrnes/a Harvard study were that 2/3 of the "borderline" calls go to the home team? That's a massive difference. If you can easily change/eliminate to make the game more fair, you do it. And we DO have that technology now.

Just a matter of time.

Good news. Would hate to lose one of the clubs that can take out the Cubbies.
