Mr. NBA Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Bauer has been making his own case publicly about his surplus value and why he shouldn't be moved until next year. Yeah I follow Bauer on Twitter......and I have always been a big fan of his even prior to coming over. With that said I would like to see the Indians move him and sooner the better.

Machiavelli Posted December 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hope Harper ends up with less than the 10/300 he turned down from Nats Agree. 30mil per is just about the max for any single player other than Trout/Betts and is pretty absurd in most cases. Harper is cool and all....but is he going to give seasons like 2015 every year? Highly doubtful! Now, if your crystal ball has that coming back for 8 of the 10 years, then by all means, he's worth that 400mil payday or so that he likely wants. It's just not reality.

Sharp Square Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Should def see some movement during the meetings. Maybe the Indians make a splash and deal either Bauer or Kluber somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Nats deal is off the table, I'm not sure where Harper is going to get 300M+ from. Seems like Yankees are focused on Machado. Philly's probably his best bet to get a team to overpay since they're desperate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjt Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Kimbrel wants 6 years and 108M Good luck with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machiavelli Posted December 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Kimbrel is crazy! Hamilton signing only thing that is official today other than waiver claims?? Did hear that Cle/TB talked EE and Yandy to the Rays. Tomorrow and the next few days should be a lot of moves after all the talking being done all day/tonight.

rjt Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Probably mostly relievers who will start to sign Yanks should just hurry up and get Machado deal done. You know they want him and he wants to play there. Then Harper can sign with Philly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownsfan Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Indians are disgusting. No way they should be trading Bauer or Kluber. Their rotation gives them a shot at the WS every year and they are blowing it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. NBA Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I love what the Indians are doing and hope they trade both Kluber and Bauer. Even with those two gone their top 2 will be Cy contenders and Bieber will take a very big step this year as well. Their top three in the rotation will be as strong as anyone's. After those three? You have dart throws such as Cody Anderson (coming off Tommy), Adam Plutko, Danny Salazar (coming off shoulder surgery), Chih-Wei Hu and their prize arm on the farm......Triston McKenzie. Also they would most certainly get an MLB ready arm back between those two trades as well. We will have more than enough even after dumping Kluber and Bauer to win the Central and get an invite to the dance. We all know that once you're in anything can happen. Meanwhile these trades will extend our window as the windows for the Royals, Sox, Tigers and Twins get wider in the coming years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjt Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 You think they trade both Kluber and Bauer? Carrasco, Clevinger, Bieber top 3 wouldn’t be as good as anyone. Houston and Boston much better At least you have Ramirez and Lindor locked up cheap next few years and a bye to the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjt Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Salazar should be in pen. He’d be great there. He’ll never stay healthy in the rotation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both seems like it would be a bit too risky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
