I thought the Tribe got lucky finding a team with two reasonably priced stud starting pitchers - Minor and Lynn - who were willing to pay Kluber like an ace to be their third starter. And not only take that price tag on, but also give up a quality young player to absorb that salary. Texas must have believed they were in the running for a free agent starting pitcher only to get priced out. They are also one of the few teams in MLB who have a wealth of young pitching talent that might be lost in a rule 5 draft.
