August 30, 20205 yr No chance this deal ever happens. Not with everyone bunched up at the top of the Division

August 30, 20205 yr Author I’m choosing to believe it’s real, yes fine if you must have Engel ugh it’s tough but ... no...okay yes fine
August 30, 20205 yr Imagine being Cleveland, alone in 1st place at the deadline, halfway through this condensed season, trading one of their best pitchers to an upstart division rival nipping at their heals and poised to be competitive for the division title for the next half decade. This would be White Flag trade level bad for them. I just don't buy it Bob.

August 30, 20205 yr It will never happen. Both fanbases would be upset as it means at least one of Dunning/Kopech is assuredly gone and the Indians are only a game apart. With that stated, I would try to get Plesac included as well (clearly they both enjoy Chicago) since we honestly need two starters. Now the Indians might be doing this trade in part, because they are trying to open a spot for Plesac.
August 30, 20205 yr Cleveland may really have soured on Clevinger. Engel being one of the "guys" is hilarious though. Edited August 30, 20205 yr by Look at Ray Ray Run

Not a soul in Soxland should have a problem with that. Kopech is one that is painful, and would require more thought. But I think you definitely have to do it for Clevinger.

I don't want to trade either, but for someone like Clevinger, I would live with trading Dunning (since I think he's further away). If I traded both, it would have to be for a DeGrom type pitcher.
August 30, 20205 yr While a trade seems unlikely, being “a game apart” in the division standings this year doesn’t mean much. With the expanded playoffs, both teams are pretty close to locks to make the playoffs anyway. Next year might be another story.
August 30, 20205 yr 3 minutes ago, SouthWallace said: I agree with this. They want the Clevinger rumor out there and they had Merkin tweet “only players with longer contracts” out of the blue yesterday. They definitely want both those ideas out there. Probably trying to force Texas’ hand on Lynn.
