I still think the Indians can swing an impact trade or two. They could dangle Bobby Bradley, who may be blocked now by Bauers and, for two years, Santana. McKenzie could be dealt, although I'd expect them to hold onto him. Yu Chang is highly regarded by many but is blocked by Ramirez/Lindor. And that's just a few names.
I'm not sure if Arizona is actively shopping him, but I'm hoping the Indians have checked in on David Peralta. Nicholas Castellanos is rough in the field, but his bat would look great in the lineup. Jose Martinez would be a great fit at DH if Bauers was able to play LF.
The best fit may be a team we've already dealt with - the New York Mets. They have Conforto/Lagares/Nimmo/Broxton in the outfield - one could easily be dealt. They have Jeff McNeil, who was fantastic in limited ABs last year, can play all over the field, but doesn't currently have a starting spot. They could also move Todd Frazier (eating some of his salary) and play Lowrie at 3B.
