A's Accept to help get a solid catcher that is locked up for awhile.  Santana can hopefully hit 20HR a year and get some good Rbi and run totals as well.  Reynolds will fill the gap for donaldson for this year while pestano can help in the bullpen and he is still young. 

Placement
all player below to active 40 man
Carlos Santana (C), 
Mark Reynolds (1B/3B),
Vinnie Pestano (RP)

[Indians GM (Gino)]

The Cleveland Indians accept this trade. We accept because where it was very difficult to part with Santana, we needed an upgrade at 3B as we're not a believer in Reynolds and as he is on only a one year deal we wanted to continue with a more affordable, younger, and higher talent level player in Donaldson. Jaso is a suitable replacement at catcher.

Both Donaldson and Jaso will be placed on the 25 man active roster.
