Well what kind of value does an aging pitcher who has lost his fastball fetch you, especially one who truly relied on that fastball? It’s not like they knew Clase was pissing hot...

buno67 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Rumors that the Dolans might be in the market to make a move at 12:00pm. There saying anyone on the Indians roster can be traded. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hand was traded down. Talks of a potential fire sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malibuspeedrace Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE i love being a fan of a team that is run by a frugal cheapskate that doesn't care about any success outside of his savings account. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like anything that could help them fetch young cheap talent and add in a some what tank, they would do it. If you’re going to tank a season for a top pick, this would be the idea season because your not doing it for 162 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I had no issues with what we were asking for Lindor this winter always Lux or bust for me if we moved him to the Dodgers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm moving Lindor this early it's for a top 5-10 prospect, a top 50 prospect, and another good piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdrawkcab321 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I can’t see a big market team giving up a haul for Lindor when they can just sign him soon. Plus they’d have the fear of him leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindor is about to get paid! Only a handful of teams can afford to sign a player like Lindor. So instead of competing say with 10-15 teams for his services, they are only competing with 5. At the time the Redsoxs were dealing with Mookie and so they prolly had no interest in Lindor. So the market was even more in the Dodgers favor. Hopefully now the Redsoxs get involved and can increase the trade value. Those teams can also just sit back and wait for him to hit FA. Let a small market team rent him for a season or half a season and than scoop him up. baseball sucks for the small market team to have a top tier player cause it’s nearly impossible to keep those players. Look at the Indians. Couldn’t keep Belle, couldn’t keep Manny, couldn’t keep Thome, couldnt keep CC. Won’t be able to keep Lindor.
