FEARtheELF Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Feel like we could have got something like that in the winter. Another move with salary dump in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 This move comes down to this: Do you trust our scouts ability to find and develop talent? There’s obviously players the Indians front office really like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateDawg Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Why can’t the Indians get a single top-tier prospect when there is a bidding war for an ace pitcher? Maybe I just need to know more about these kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s obviously players the Indians front office really like. I like the move as a futuristic stand point but it shows that they are not really in it to win it this year. if that is seriously your M.O., that you are honesty not trying to win the World Series, they need to trade Frankie, Santana, Hand, and Cesar right now. Santana Cesar and hand are as good as gone, you might as well get something instead of watching them net you nothing. Keeping Frankie while your not competing is a waste of resources. Trade him now, get the prospect haul and start trying to develop talent Edited August 31, 2020 by buno67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like dealing Clevinger for mainly pieces that won't help us for 2-3 years, but I do trust our talent acquisition in trades. So I'll wait and see but my initial response is disappointment that we didn't get a major piece to help THIS year. I like Quantrill as a potential #4/5 starter next year. Josh Naylor has really good numbers for his age at every level so far, probably an average major league batter going forward. Problem is he's probably a pure 1B/DH and we already have Santana and Franmil. Austin Hedges is a way above average defensive catcher but is a downright BAD offensive catcher. The prospects are all very interesting, but also all far from sure things. It kinda seems like we went with quantity over quality. We'll see how that turns out.

Santana I gone after this season, so he won’t be road blocking anyone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was just pointing out that he isn't even a MLB ready outfielder to help us out there this year. It really just emphasizes that this is a "next year" move with no helpfulness today.

TypicalBrowns10 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 The fact we cant get 1 quality at bat for a top of rotation pitcher absolutely blows my mind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t want that. If they did a player for player straight up trade. They prolly could have landed a legit OF bat. They wanted prospects!
