Rich Swerbinsky, proprietor of TheClevelandFan.com, has ranked The 16 Greatest Trades in Cleveland Indians History.
Getting Sizemore, Cliff Lee and Brandon Phillips for Colon is a popular one lately, but at least Colon was a productive starter for several years after the trade. They got Omar Vizquel for two nobodies, and he won eight Gold Gloves here. Hall of Famer.
Swerb picks the trade that brought Tris Speaker to Cleveland in 1916 as the best deal ever. No argument here.
