Cleveland Sends Swindell to Cincinnati in Trade
The Cleveland Indians traded left-handed pitcher Greg Swindell to the Cincinnati Reds on Friday for three right-handers--Jack Armstrong, Scott Scudder and minor leaguer Joe Turek.
Swindell, 26, was Cleveland’s top pick in the 1986 June draft.
He was 9-16 last season with a 3.48 earned-run average in 33 starts. His overall record is 60-55 with a 3.79 ERA. He led the Indians last season in innings pitched, 238; strikeouts, 169, and complete games, seven.
Armstrong, 26, and Scudder, 23, will join the Indians’ roster. Turek, 25, will be assigned to Cleveland’s triple-A farm club in Colorado Springs, Colo.
