In the fun to dream category, Clevinger and Bauer are super close.  It would only help the Sox if they go after Bauer this offseason.

Friends and family plan Part Deux !

Collins

That’s been thoughts the entire time: Stiever, Adolfo, & Collins.

I hope we all recall that CLE still needs to pay up for the IOU they gave us to take Alonso. So time to pay the piper “Cleveland”, we’ll take clevinger and you get back Engel...MAYBE

It’s more about the intra-division aspect of it and the fact Cleveland’s pitching lab is amongst the best in baseball.  It’s terrifying to think what they could do with that kind of arm and the risk it posies for the second half of our window.

With what offense though?  Lindor will be gone and Santana is old.  I feel like their pitching will always be good.

That's what I thought but I always ask to make sure.

Ohmigosh...it was a joke because everyone is so angry about what happened the last time we thew in a no-name wildcard in a trade for an older pitcher.  I mean honestly the likelihood of Elijiah being the best player in baseball in three years is about as likely as it was for his brother.  It's baseball...weird things happen.      

I would do Kopech for Clevinger.

I did love that Bob starts off the trade proposal by listing Engel first.

Not real worried about the 2nd half of the window if Clevinger, Gio, Keuchel , Cease, Dunning for the 1st half .

Clevinger won't be dealt here, too many other teams out there 

I do have some sympathy for how terrible it must be to be a CLE fan despite the orgs competence the last 30 years

Maybe the Indians view Kopech as the best pitching prospect in the sport?

Also if it’s not kopech it will be some other mid round dude they turn into Shane Bieber. They have all those 17 year olds they’ve drafted that will eventually arrive

If so then I really don't want to deal him. They know their pitching.

I would really like to get Clevinger though. He's been fantastic.

If they want big leaguers we don't really match then, unless they want Collins or McCann.

Can we steal some of their pitching scouting and development employees? We're not bad at it but starting with Kluber they've been somethin' else.

Or Vaughn and maybe they consider him ready.

Who is going to offer compelling big leaguers? The point of trades is to improve, not many have surplus MLB talent.

Thats stuff that cLE are saying to not be embarrassed they are in first and firesaling

Clevinger is a good pitcher but Kopech will win multiple Cy Youngs.   Please don’t get fleeced like this.

It's probably wrong. Only 2 teams are interested? Doubtful

Interested no. Continuing negotiations? Possible 

Someone I’d still be down for but not knowing the price at all is Musgrove.

Probably, but if there's a headliner they want blocked by someone else that could make sense.

Also I assume Cleveland is looking to trade Clevinger because of the team drama but maybe that's just an excuse.

Could be. They do need hitting. I think this would be a mistake though. I think Vaughn is Goldschmidt Jr.

He's hurt with triceps inflammation.

I'm sorry but you cannot trade Kopech or Vaughn to the Indians. You cannot do that.

I thought he was just activated?

Multiple CY's? We should be happy if he pitches 2 consecutive seasons
