4 players Cleveland Indians must get in Mike Clevinger trade with Yankees

2. Deivi Garcia, P

Beyond Frazier, Deivi Garcia is an interesting pitching prospect. The 21-year-old pitched in the future’s game at Progressive Field a season ago and is considered to be close to being big-league ready.

Garcia fell out of MLB’s top 100 prospects, as he struggled to once he got to Triple-A, and again at Spring Training earlier this season.

Plus, Garcia’s stock has taken a hit recently because scouts aren’t sure if he’s a starter or a reliever. He posses a devastating curveball and a 97-mile-per-fastball, though, so he’ll eventually find a spot on someone’s roster.

Garcia’s also smaller, meaning, he’s 5-foot-9. Sonny Gray is around this height and is obviously very, very good. It’s not the typical build of a starting pitcher, though.

He has some very desirable skills and it would be interesting to see the Indians’ development team get ahold of him.

Even if the Indians view Garcia as a bullpen arm, which he may be, that’s OK. He’d be part of a package and the Indians need back-end bullpen guys for 2020 and beyond.
