None of those players are under contract in 2019.I'm not sure where you're getting your information from.

Not through 19. I simply think the window closes next year. I hope not but I'm not alone looking around online.That doesn't mean we are losing all of them. Also, the team has control of Chis/Brantley.
I can't see this window closing until Lindor and Jose is gone. Indians have a great system in place to keep adding youth, it's up to the bosses to keep this team 90+ win material.Not through 19. I simply think the window closes next year. I hope not but I'm not alone looking around online.
Those two plus our top three starters are all here through 2020. Obviously we'll need a little help from players developing in the farm system, but there's no reason this team can't continue to be competitive for the next three seasons.I can't see this window closing until Lindor and Jose is gone.

Not just our top 3...our entire rotation minus Tomlin, with Clevinger and Salazar still locked up. With a couple really good prospects knocking on the door around then too.
And Kipnis. And Encarnacion. Gomes, Perez, Zimmer, Guyer, Diaz, Naquin, Otero, Goody, Olson...like 3/4ths of this years team, including the 1-4 hitters, 5 good starters, the catcher tandem, starting CF, and 3 plus relievers.
It's also a poor choice to assume we re-sign no one, or add no one to fill in holes when guys walk. And I'd expect to add at least 3 or 4 names to that list of who is locked up through 2019 this winter as well, through re-signing, trade, or free agency.
Ridiculous to even begin to believe the window closes after 2018...especially if the main argument for that is losing 2 guys currently in the most volatile role in baseball.
Indians should maximize their talents and run a 6 man rotation to avoid nagging injuries. The Kluber injury excuse still has me pissed. Cookie should've pitched game 2 and game 5 if Kluber was really bothered.
Okay, Tito echoed it postgame that wasn't Kluber out there, had me believing into radio talk hype.Kluber wasn't hurt...that came out today.
Carlos Carrasco is 30 already. Where did the time go....
As the pitching goes, this team goes. I think this club could tape together enough cats to make a horse offensively and keep things going, what I remain concerned about is the ability to keep a dominant bullpen after Miller and Allen leave. They have failed to develop internal options, although Salazar could change all of that in an instant.
You want to see a small market team like this dumping 8 figures annually on a multiyear deal for a 34 year old reliever with a shit ton of miles on him in Miller?If you think they let both Miller and Allen walk, sure. I think they lock one of them up though, hopefully Allen.
And they had developing internal options ready to go in the upper levels for 2018/2019...they just so happened to trade them for Miller.
