Hard to comment much more without knowing a lot more about the team and league.
There may be some situations where this trade would make sense, but probabky not too many,

The other team is the D-Backs. They are 21 GB in the NL West and are the 6th WC at 12 GB. They are 19th of 30 in both budget and attendance.
They have $27M for extensions and $24M for FA. They could have up to $15M freed up by declining team options.
They have 3 Star Nick Ahmed at SS signed at $8M per for another 2 seasons.
The player they are offering is LH 1B Pavin Smith a 2017 7th overall draft pick. Consistently solid offensive numbers every year including his MLB debut season. 70/80 defence at 1B, high work ethic and intelligence, no injury history. A dream get for the Indians.
D-Backs GM is Mike Hazen, 13 years experience with a Good rating.
If it was coming from a contending team and/or a big market team I would complete the deal immediately, but I just don't get the logic for the D-Backs.
