The Rays have traded 32-year old righty reliever Winston Abreu to the Indians in exchange for 24-year old righty reliever John Meloan. Abreu pitched in 2 games (0 starts) for the Rays this season and he was 0-0 with a 2.45 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. John Meloan was the Indians’ #18 prospect coming into this season according to Baseball America. Meloan pitched in 25 games (2 starts) in AAA-ball this season and he is 0-0 with a 5.52 ERA and a 1.57 WHIP. He has also pitched in 7 games (0 starts) in his major league career and he is 0-0 with a 8.68 ERA and a 1.82 WHIP. This was a good move for both Abreu and the Rays. Abreu will get the chance to continue his career in the Indians’ bullpen and Meloan gives the Rays a young prospect who might pan out in the near future.
