Uh, Cleveland has Jose Ramirez on their team. You would have an easier team getting Judge or Soto. Redo.

I'd like to bring in 2004 Barry Bonds, 1990 Rickey Henderson and 1999 Pedro Martinez. I bet we'd only have to trade Nick Punto and Lew Ford to make it happen :)

Based on the roster I'd imagine he and Festa were traded for Jose Ramirez. Could be wrong
