Brantley's ship has sailed from the north coast. He's too costly and they have too many young players that need opportunities. I have no reason to not believe what Ed posted, but even if it weren't true the situation would remain the same IMO.
The Lindor trade likely influences this too. I just can't believe that they are not going to get at least 1 OFer in the deal.
Indians will take the best deal they can get for Lindor. I think they would like a legit OF, but you cannot go just by position alone especially in baseball. You have to go with the best talent so thats what they will do... Indians are tight lipped about moves, but we will know around the winter meetings (usually a significant trade like that with possible extension added on the trade).
Also this season will have a lot of likely non-tendered players. Hernandez was non tendered and he turned out being almost a steal for us. Indians are great at dumpster diving for players so I think someone will show up again in 21 to help out.
