Jo Adell has never competed in a playoff game throughout his seven-season MLB career. But a last minute trade deal just before MLB's Aug. 3 deadline sent Adell from the last place team in the American League to a team competing for the AL Central title.
The Los Angeles Angels traded Adell to the Cleveland Guardians for catching prospect Jacob Cozart on Monday. The Guardians are 3.5 games behind the Chicago White Sox for the AL Central division lead.
"I have only been here one day," Adell said ahead of his debut with Cleveland on Tuesday. "But the way that everyone works is special. That's what teams that are pushing for the playoffs do."

After spending six and half seasons with the Angels, Adell told reporters he is excited to join a contender.
"The support and about wanting to win," Adell said. "And doing it for something that's bigger than yourself. So, that's a vibe you get there when you play here as an opposing team. You come out here and this is a passionate fan base and the aura about getting the job done. So I'm excited to be a part of it."
