Hopefully new ownership is in the fold before it comes to that.Can't wait to see what he returns in trade.

Wont make a difference, although I doubt they have a new owner by the off-season anyways.Hopefully new ownership is in the fold before it comes to that.
Get your head out of your ass.Why are people so fucking focused on what might happen multiple years down the road?
People were bitching that Lindor would be traded when he had over three years of control left on his deal. Jose is under team control through 2023.
Bieber is only under team control through 2024. Let's start bitching about him too.
@macbdog whenever the next young stud comes up to the bigs, make sure you're in there to bitch about the fact that he might not be an Indians 7 years from now.
Things change. Nothing lasts forever. Learn to enjoy what's in front of you. We have a good organization who has consistently maximized the value of its assets and been in contention for championships. That's rare. If you're not having fun, I don't know what else to tell you. If we signed Lindor to the deal he just got from New York, I guarantee you that wouldn't cause you to start enjoying it either.
Might as well just stop bitching about the team and start bitching about the fact that, at some point in the future, you won't be alive to follow them anymore. Might as well start being miserable over that fact now.
Get on that cycle and ride, ride, ride...this is the way!Get your head out of your ass.
Let's trade Jose for some young players, who we will then need to turn around and trade in 2023 for more young players.
Have you ever listened to CA speak? Everything is done with focus for the current and future health of the organization. It's been the mantra long enough to become the culture. Thing is, I see it as a positive rather than the opposite, and I firmly believe it is exactly how and why this team is even remotely competitive on a consistent basis.Why are people so fucking focused on what might happen multiple years down the road?
Obviously organizations should plan for continued success.Have you ever listened to CA speak? Everything is done with focus for the current and future health of the organization.

You mean like we just did in 2018-2019, where our average payroll was over 130 million?Here is a fun question. Lets say we have a new owner. We are still a midmarket team, so the 200 mill payroll is still too high, but we are allowed lets say 130 million. Which trades do you still do from the last 4 years, which dont you do?
For example considering Lindor just got almost 40 mill a year, do you still keep him, or do you think too much of an imbalance?

I've asked this question multiple times. Nobody has a specific example.
From their own mouths, the organization has basically done everything it can, and hasn't made a bad move. They still don't like it. It's somehow flawless and awful at the same time.
I'm beginning to believe they don't have a genuine critique. They just like to be curmudgeons.

He's still signed for two more seasons after this one! If you're thinking about trading guys with three seasons left on their highly affordable deal, then you might as well pack it in.Meh.
The team is going to follow their established track record of dealing young players who don't sign ridiculously team favored extensions. Maybe Jose bends the knee again and signs; I'm banking he is smarter than that, bets on himself and goes to FA to make the money he has sacrificed the last 3 years. And whether folks want to admit it or not, Jose is gone in the off-season if he doesn't sign one. They won't ride it out to FA and lose him for nothing.
He's not saying to make short-sighted moves. He's just saying that three years is a really long time, and there's no reason to keep kicking the ball down the road when there's a chance to win some games now without sacrificing our long-term outlook.Have you ever listened to CA speak?
