I think they did well but that's baseball. He's damn good but the Indians did well. Especially under their self-imposed restrictions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It's also the Indians so, knowing them, Quantrill probably comes out better than Clevinger after this lol Half joking, of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely was a later bloomer, like some of the other Indians pitchers, but he's been worth 8.7 fWAR the past 2 seasons, which includes the shortened 2019 due to a knee injury. He's not some flash in the pan. He's a legit high end #2 starter in this league that the Padres just acquired 2+ years of for depth pieces in their organization. Terrific trade for them.

Never said he was flash in the pan, so I don't know where you're getting that from. I simply stated he hasn't pitched beyond 126 innings more than once, which is fact. I know it's FF but it's possible both sides can do well in trades and that's likely the case here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the Indians got robbed, but I think the Padres definitely got the better end of the deal by more than a small amount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolan and the FO got a "writings on the wall" replacement for Lindor for them to develop. We needed hitting and got um Naylor and a backup catcher. Just another move to make sure we stay a slightly above .500 team for years to come. Always the Bride's maid... Never the Bride. MC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I incorrectly attributed the 126 innings comment as an insinuation that we were still dealing with a sample size factor. My apologies.

This is exactly my feelings on this deal. Indians didn't get an insignificant return, but it probably should have been a good bit more.
