Clevinger is one of the elite starting pitchers in baseball with affordable control Clevinger is worth a haul, so unless that comes, hold on to him and revisit next year. i dont even think Clev is elite. I think he is really good but not Elite. Indians only have two elite level pitchers currently in the organization. Bieber and potentially Mackenzie.IMO I think this is the highest potential for a trade for Clev. I believe with the expanded playoffs, more teams are going to be in contention, so meaning more teams are going to be buyers instead of sellers. I dont want to wait for next year because next year, the team might not be in position to contend. They might because of their pitching but I really dont see the team spending next year. Dolan's will use covid stuff to cut salary for a 3rd straight season. Hell, on Bull and Fox, Adam was saying their is potential the Dolans could cut down the salary to around $50m before arbitration. That is with them trading Clev and Lindor and then letting players walk like Cesar, Hand has a $1m buy out that would save the team $9m and Santana have a $500k buyout which would save the team close to $17m. Other things like that. So I rather take a chance this year and try and win it all this year because it might not be for awhile. Try and trade for a bat that could make an impact this year and be under contril. Clint Frazier would be huge cause he would be a bat that helps the OF and is under control until '25. Thats the kind of move they need to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 2 are definitely gone after this year. I think Clev gets traded this year. Franmil would take Santana’s spot. I think Frankie gets moved this offseason.

Just without the talent to do it. 3 games out of the best record in baseball and currently the 2nd best run differential. I genuinely don’t understand why you think the Indians are so terrible and doomed? We are damn good now and if we can find a way to bring in another bat, we can have as good a shot as anyone else. Yes the outfield has been terrible the last couple years but most teams would love to have our bullpen, rotation, and infield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Cardinals suck too. However, that was a lot of fun to watch. I just wish we gave McKenzie more than 4 innings of work. The offense gave him 14 runs to work with. Edited August 29, 2020 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Schedule is soft as can be after this St Louis series. We get 7/10 against Kansas City who’s terrible. The other 3 games are against Milwaukee. Milwaukee would be the worst team in their division, if not for Pittsburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Normally a 1-1 game is ugly offense. However, honestly this is phenomenal defense and pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hot take: Trading Francisco Meija was the right decision. Roberto Perez is a better fit for this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the organization saw, but he doesn't look anything like he did early in his minor league career. Maybe he turns it around, but I'm thinking that's far from certain.

I think his issues is Playing as an Every day level MLB catcher. Dude should have been truly open to changing positions. He should have gone to a less important defensive position, where he could have just focused on hitting. It’s like he wanted to be an elite hitting catcher, which is extremely hard to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
