I don't expect them to deal with the Yankees but if we do, the silver lining is I expect to get a hell of a haul back in return.

So we're going to sell to the competition.

Awesome.

Awesome.

Not sure why you’re surprised. The window was small. 2016-2018. 3 full seasons, better than most. We blew it, literally.
We will be competitive, but this is how the MLB works.
We are in that group that is a farm system for the larger markets. Houston will be there soon too.

Sell to a fucking National League team, then.

Trading Kluber will be the classic case of him becoming the linchpin for a team winning the World Series. Fuck does '16 hurt.

Really wish we could pawn Jose off on some team willing to part with players of need or prized assets.

I'm just not sure anyone will want Jose and that contract. It would take a miracle to pawn him off on someone.

Wait Jose Ramirez? We talking J-Ram and one of the best MLB contracts of all time? What am I missing?

What am I missing?

Almost as much as "J-Ram" did in his last 2 combined playoff appearances.

Could fill a lot of this roster's holes with the ideal trade partner.

Its worth re-iterating how painfully stupid it is to base the future of your organization on what players do in less than 20 at-bats in October.

But its not like this type of take is anything more than an attention seeking thing.

Trading Kluber to NY would be so Indians.

Awesome.

All that was reported was that the Yankees are interested (duh) and that the Indians will listen.

 

[Chris]

Meaning?

Selling off premium talent to a big market team. Self explanatory.

I expect us to ask for the moon and NY to decline, though. There probably is a deal in there I’d do but doubt it happens.
