I am not sure why Cleveland actually does this deal. Cooper is a free agent in 24... I don't see Cleveland trading Bibee in a deal for Lopez. I just really don't...

I put Bibbee in there but it could really be any starting pitcher that is close to the majors. Miami would have depth issues losing Lopez with Meyer and Poteet having TJ. Bibbee was just the pitcher whose value made the trade most even.
That's fair, most educated Cleveland fans have Bibee ranked above Allen (baseball america has it the other way around). I just don't think Cleveland will be interested in getting Cooper back. They would rather keep Rosario over getting Cooper. Watch to see if Bieber get extended or not as well. My guess would be if he does, then Cleveland will move Plesac. So the deal would more like like Plesac, Allen and Jones for Lopez plus prospect.. No Cooper or Rosario in the deal.
What makes you think that Cleveland would rather keep Rosario as opposed to getting Cooper? I can't wait to hear your reasoning for that idea. Cooper is exactly the type of player Cleveland needs at this time. There really isn't a need elsewhere that can't be addressed from within in short order. Bibee won't be going anywhere. He's arguably more ready than either Espino or Williams at this point and damn near as good. I think they would deal Allen, but Martinez might be difficult to pry from Cleveland's grip.
