Casey Blake has been traded from the Cleveland Indians to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Blake will likely play third base for the Dodgers, but he also has the ability to play in the outfield.
On the season, the 34-year-old Blake is hitting .293 with 11 homers and 58 RBIs. The Dodgers have lacked pop in the middle of their lineup and Blake should be able to provide that.
In return for Blake, the Indians received Carlos Santana and Jon Meloan. Carlos Santana’s musical abilities should help put a smile on a few faces of Indians fans. Who knew that Santana was also a minor league catching prospect?
Carlos Santana is now on the Cleveland Indians after this trade. Interesting.
