Looks like Kluber is out of the division. Hopefully the return isnt good

Sounds like it’s going to be the Rangers

It would be funny if Steele Walker were in the deal.

Other teams have apparently been throwing hookers in Jon Daniels window to get a piece of Walker, Texas Ranger.  

Clevinger and Bieber are still really good.

Yep.

I really don't want them to trade Lindor this year.  Lux and May is what was being rumored.  That just allows them to retool pretty quick.

Doesn't the Rangers farm suck or did I make that up?

Setting the Sox up well in the central, but JR sitting back and going “KEEP THE PAYROLL UNDER 115M HAHN!!!!”

Agreed.  That is a great return for two years of Lindor which would easily compete with the returns for Sale and Quintana IMO.

Lux will be good, it was fun watching him at ITA (I’m from Kenosha, still about 6y older than him), but you knew he had “it”. As for May, I honestly don’t think he’s going to be great... another Rich Hill type... good, not great. 

Chase and DDJ to CLE for Kluber per Rosenthal... definitely seems like they got a slim package.

I don’t get the Rich Hill comparison.  May throws a lot harder than Hill.

Statistically speaking, he matches up with Rich Hill quite closely. Should have added that

Cleveland got robbed. LOL!

Yeah, that package seems feather light. Isn't Kluber 35 years old though? 

There has to be another piece right?

Clase and DeShields?

That‘s like if the Sox offered Engel and Jimmy Cordero.

Emmanuel Clase, pitcher

Delino Deshields, Jr.

and anyone else?

He's old and was hurt last year. They kind of fucked up by not trading him last off-season in hindsight.

33 and under contract via team options for the next two seasons...

2020: $13.5M club option ($1M buyout)

2021: $14M club option ($1M buyout)

What an absolutely garbage trade.  They must think Clase is the real deal.

 

Wow, light return IMO. Clase is a RP.
