Kluber Traded to Rangers

[Chris]

Wait what

 

[NMCav]

Seems like a salary dump. Weird. Should have let him Pitch and regain value by the deadline and sell then or next off season if still in the race.

 

[B Mac]

HAS to be more to this.

 

[buckeyefan]

Oh no. Why not hold on to him until July if that’s all they got.

 

[Kevalier]

This can’t be the entire deal....

 

[Amherstcavsfan]

Well, Clase is good but a bully arm. Can hit 100 on his cutter.

DeShields...is...um...not good.

 

[Urban]

Woof DeSheilds sucks

 

[bboy]

Great trade....yikes...that can't be all can it?

 

[Deezus]

Yikes!

Clase is a talented young arm, really excited that he's involved.

100+ with ease. Future back end reliever with Karinchak.

Deshields likely becomes the super utility player.

 

[DJTJ]

Passed on Verdugo for absolutely nothing.

Clase was their 23rd ranked prospect by Baseball America at midseason last year, which is fairly high for a bullpen arm. However, the Rangers also have a low-ranked farm system.

Disappointing return.

I will say, I was clamoring for a flamethrower in our pen since it seems like every decent team has one now, and we were throwing out a bunch of guys throwing low-90's last year, albeit with solid results.

The future of our bullpen looks pretty darn good right now between Clase, Karinchak, and a slew of guys in Akron and Columbus.

Clase was electric in a short stint last season for what its worth.
