Wow, everyone here seems to be trading away pitchers.
Not quite sure if it is because there is a shortage of starters on the market, or if it is just Cleveland fans holding their pitchers in high esteem.
Cookie signed his contract at a significant discount so he could stay in Cleveland. Even though I understand the business side all to well, it still feels like a stab in the back from the org if they do trade him. But life moves on and so will Cookie if they do.
Can't say I agree with the "stab in the back" comment. I say that because there would have been a no trade clause added. Otherwise, Cookie had to understand that it was/is a possibility. Especially considering recent history.
I'm not for trading SP unless there are a couple of good young arms added to the system. There is certainly no denying the risk when considering dealing a pitcher like Cookie though.
