2017-18 Cleveland Indians Offseason

[Chris]

Yeah, they did draft/trade for some of their talent but at the end of the day they are up to their same old tricks. Can't even be mad at them. The league allows it to happen with the way it's built. They are playing by the rules. Well except for the whole Jeter being an undercover operative thing but.

Cheap Dolan strikes again.

 

[FrontPageNews]

Sad.

 

[Urban]

Bruce's agent did well for him

 

[PIP]

Damn that’s not much at all for Bruce.. 2 of those 3 years is at least 45-50 HR and 150-175 RBI combined in the middle of your lineup...

 

[Ohio]

Expected. But man, if we all do this off season is lose guys, while the competition is adding guys, that is going to be tough to swallow.

Thank god the AL Central sucks and anything can happen in the playoffs in baseball.

With the arbitration guys the payroll was at 115 to 120m without signing any .ca.

This is the issue the Dolans don't want to operate in the red. There is no money to sign anyone

 

[Chris]

Whatever. Sucks. Roll with what we have for one last hurrah.

Sad.

So a shade over what Brantley is earning this year....fantastic.

 

[bboy]

I think the Dolans went all in last year knowing we were close...we went bust and they don't want to spend with some of the raises coming to the players already under contract. It blows because this could be our last shot...and I'm not talking about the central but for the series. Miller will be gone next year and I think Allen is up too....our lineup is lacking in my opinion...can we count on Brantley? Salazar? Astros really are the class of the league

 

[PIP]

21 mill less than Santana. Terrible

 

[Real Deal]

Wrap it up.

 

[Real Deal]

Yeah, a guy who hasn't produced in 2 years and may be a broken player.

So a shade over what Brantley is earning this year....fantastic.

[Stark]

Bummer that we couldn't retain Bruce at that price-tag. Brantley is going to be an extremely important piece going into this year. Hopefully he can give us 130+ games.
