I think the future looks a lot better than the present.
How do you figure?

Agree Tribe is well-positioned for the near future but will this season’s collapse leave lasting scars on the young player’s’ psyche?The current rotation has 3 25 yr olds and a 23 yr old. Allen is 23. Quantrill is 25. Not only is there quality SP depth, it's young and affordable for the next few seasons. This depth is likely to increase with additions from trades. It's almost an embarrassment of riches much in the same way the White Sox are positionally.
The BP will have Karinchak, Clase, Maton, Wittgren, Hill, and Gose to name a few. Those are potent BP arms. They'll be able to afford to sign another good arm if they so desire.
Lindor will be traded this off season. The return will be significant IMO. I believe Ramirez could also be traded and the return will also be significant IMO. Moving both should at the very least add 4 high upside, ready players.
There is plenty of quality prospect depth to deal from as well.
Looking ahead to next season, the SP and BP should be among the league's best. Adding young, affordable, ready talent should only help this season's poor offensive performance. Can it get any worse? The Indians are literally one of the worst offensive teams in baseball at the moment.
CA and MC have positioned this organization well to remain competitive over the next several seasons.

I just had a bad flashback of the Eric Wedge era.Oh no. Not the keep grinding cliche.
During the pregame talk by the announcers on the Tribe telecast, they talked a little about there being
discontent and factions on the club. They didn't go into details but the way the club is performing
on the field sure makes it seem like there is some bad mojo within the clubhouse.
Alomar is in over his head. The value of Francona has never been more obvious.

There's no hope for this team until they seriously address their offensive woes.
They've got arguably the best pitching staff and pitcher in baseball right now, and will probably have a top 5 staff for years to come, but they give them almost no run support.
Can't win games giving up three or less runs when you're only capable of scoring one. If this team is going to be a serious contender in the future, they need to have a consistent offense. They don't need to score a million runs a game, but three runs also shouldn't look like an insurmountable lead.
I love Sandy Leon!Are the two factions those who don't want Sandy Leon to play and Sandy Leon?
