Balta1701 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Do the Dodgers have anything left to make it worth doing for the Tribe? I count 2 Dodgers in the MLB.com top 100, Verdugo and Ruiz, both in the 30-50 range, that seems like a low price for those guys to me.

Smith/Ruiz & Verdugo would be a pretty good starting point for Bauer, who only has two arbitration years left. CLE is likely looking for a major league ready OF so the matchup makes a ton of sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even dealing one of their starters, their rotation is still good. They would likely get a bat or two that would start the year on the MLB team as well (Verdugo?).

Yeah I've read that they prefer to move Bauer due to the cost uncertainty (the 2 arb years you mentioned) while Kluber is signed for 3 more years.

Clevinger & Bieber were never huge prospects but come up and simply get shit done. Meanwhile Cooper has all these nice toys in Rodon, Lopez, & Giolito (sort of) and the results are a mix of frustrating & terrifying. If shit doesn’t gett beter next year, I think it’s time for a change at pitching coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) I guess if you're going to do this with a young player, it makes sense to do it with a reliever since they are so volatile from year to year. Still though, if the Mariners are rebuilding, why not sell high on Diaz in a different deal and keep Cano? Unless it isn't a complete teardown?

fathom Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Schoop was simply awful with the Brewers. I will say that he is extremely close with Machado, so if the Sox show interest in him and Cruz, it could be intriguing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again it’s a longshot but makes about as much sense as being interested in Nelson Cruz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it happening, though I definitely wouldn't mind seeing it, even if on a limited basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 I am just going to say it, Moncada in CF scares me. He has had some really awful IQ plays at 2B. Those kind of plays in CF turn outs into 3B and HR's, not 1B's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be intrigued, but wouldn't be so married to the idea what I'd keep forcing it if it just isn't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
