Indians Acquire Chris Gomez (in 2007)

[Spoonless]

Just got a text form MLB that said the Indians got Chris Gomez on wavers from the O's.

Direct quote:

The Indians have acquired IF Chris Gomez on waivers from the Orioles.

Well i doubt we just handed him over if this is true.

[Rockbird]

Interesting. Off waivers meaning we just let him go? Did we get a marginal prospect at least. I guess now we have room for the holy trinity of Freddy Bynum, Brandon Fahey and Luis Hernandez on the bench. God that's awful. At least Gomez could hit.

Agreed, I can't see the O's just handing him over for nothing. But then again, they are the Orioles.

I wonder if we could be getting back Cabrera...and activating Bynum, if that's the case.

[Leitch]

God that's awful. At least Gomez could hit an empty .300.

Fixed that for you.

Interesting thought...The idea of getting FCab back.

I suppose that's one way of looking at it, but perhaps it means they got something for Gomez and with Bynum coming back they send down Fahey and bring up House?

Bynum was stiill stitched up last night.

[Moose Milligan]

Thats a bummer. I always liked Gomez, good utility guy...I wonder if we'll be able to get him back.

Good for Chris gets a chance to compete in late September

[GeorgiaBird]

Just called my friend in Tampa. I don't think Cabrera is coming back. In fact I am not sure anyone is coming back, but we shall see.

The Sun is reporting it as a trade for a minor leaguer but did not provide the name.

On waiver probably means must pass through.

A friend who's an O's employee sent me the following press release. Yes, it does appear that we gave away Chris Gomez for the price of the waiver claim. Brilliant as usual, O's!

IF Chris Gomez has been assigned on a waiver claim to the Cleveland Indians in exchange for the waiver price of $20,000, and that LHP John Parrish has been assigned on waiver claim to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for minor league OF Sebastien Boucher and a player to be named or cash.

My friend isn't someone who's privvy to insider info, she simply works for the team and gets system-wide e-mails.
