Woof.

Final Trade:

To Mets: Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco. To Indians: Amed Rosario, Andrés Giménez, Josh Wolf, Isaiah Greene.


Horrible

 

[CATS44]

Giminez and Rosario?

If that ends up being true, we have our keystone manned for years.

 

[DJTJ]

terrible return. probably the worst return we’ve got in any of these recent trades.

 

[avs2000]

A shortstop for now. A ss for the future. A top cf prospect and a solid pitching prospect. All high picks. Lindor was never going to stay in Cleve. Tribe could not pay him and he never wanted to retire in Cleve. Sure Carlos was a $$ dump

Gimenez:

[Real Deal]

Lindor did not love you. Did he ever say he wanted to stay in Cleve ? What does love have to do with it ?

He always had high praise for the city. Did you not watch his emotion through the years? When you love baseball, and you watch good play, you become attached. Simple as that.

Well that is one way to dump payroll in one quick trade. About $25 to $30 million

I'm putting the talent aside and focusing on this from him as a human being. He has given the team multiple discounts and been through hell with his health. He's a pillar of the community with all his charity work. It just fucking sucks. Dude should have retired an Indian.

Yeah man, I'm more upset about Carrasco being included than anything. Seemed unnecessary. His contract was a discount for a pitcher of his caliber. I hate it here.

After shedding Lindor and Carrasco, Cleveland has just five players in line to make a $1m+ in 2021. Will likely open with a Tampa- and Oakland-like payroll

 

[BimboColesHair]

I like Greene and Wolf, though there is a decent bit of risk with Greene, but the Indians goal was to also acquire MLB ready talent, and the return at that level is a huge letdown. My guess is Rosario/Gimenez are you new starting SS and 2B now. Might combine to slug .350 and hit 20 HRs.

Sheesh Spotrac already flipped the players. They're fast.

Wow, just wow.
