Any idea what Cleveland offered Baltimore?

Unfortunately not.

If you guys could acquire one bullpen arm that has been discusssed — who is it and why ?

John Rocker

Edit - because this team needs some moxie out of the pen.

I don’t see you dabble in hypotheticals much and I totally get that but I can’t help but ask: if you’re in the driver’s seat, what’s your final offer with what we have — provided he comes alone?

And sorry if you’ve already posted something like this btw

No McKenzie, Jones, Mejia, Bieber, Freeman, Valera or probably Jonathan Rodriguez

I’d give up Chang, Bradley, Willi Castro, Capel or Calica. Pretty much anyone else, honestly.

Eli Morgan, Civale make sense from the pitching side.

I’d be shocked if they didn’t get some young talent out of the AZL/GCL squads of anyone who deals for him. The Indians have a bunch of talent there, I’m hopeful they could find a fit that works.

 

[Dawg4L]

Regardless of whether or not they get him, I 100 percent know they went after him.

Confirmed offer on the table, directly from a source that would know.

Interesting. Thanks for letting us know. I would assume it would take a serious prospect or two in order to get it done. Any inclination as to who?

If you think Manny Machado is the final piece to get the Indians over the proverbial hump especially with the lack of Bullpen this year then by all means you must go out and get him

 

[The Wizard of Moz]

There’s no such thing as a final piece to get over the hump

With or without Macahdo no team in the playoffs will have even as good as a 30% chance to win the World Series.

With or without Macahdo no team in the playoffs will have even as good as a 30% chance to win the World Series.

And that’s the best thing about baseball.

 

[Real Deal]

Imagine how amazing it'll be to rent Machado and watch this infield... hopefully we have a real chance to make it happen.

The Cavs run was pretty damn fun and full of fandom, but there's nothing like that 90's Indians run, we had all the stars accumulated and it was just so much fun, even without a championship, but we know '97 was ours.

2016 we saw the Indians make a deadline splash, 2017 was some fine tuning, I wonder what 2018 will bring...

Give me Machado and I'll promise I'll make the best of this 2nd half, Dolans, you can have more of my money.

That's a very fair point.
