**JAKEPEAVY21** · 01-07-21, 01:03 PM

Not too impressed with what the Indians received. The Mets fleeced them.

#5 on the applause meter.
Hand wringing in Cleveland.

Wow Mets making moves

**stake1** · 01-07-21, 01:09 PM

The Cleveland "Baseball Team" will soon be irrelevant. Maybe Mlb will just get rid of them altogether

one year rental

Really don't understand this trade from the Cleveland standpoint.

**pologq** · 01-07-21, 01:50 PM

What makes you think that? Mets now have the richest owner in baseball. They wouldn't make this move if they didn't expect throw a huge contract in front of lindor. Mets are a team on the rise

Lindor is a low strikeout guy. He puts the ball in play.
Great trade for the Muts

Yup. New owner in Cohen. They will pay Lindor. He is not going anywhere

Especially since Shea has been torn down.

Mets might resign him but I'd be shocked if he doesn't test free agency to see what is out there.

He might..but this is a new Mets era. I wouldn't be surprised at all the make him a nice offer he can't refuse. I don't think they would trade for him if they don't have plans on resigning him. He will be a huge star in NY for them.

Springer and Bauer are next

Springer looks like a def possibility..I don't see Bauer.
Regardless if they land Springer the Muts may be huge contenders come postseason.

**POTVINSUX** · 01-07-21, 05:31 PM

Great fit for Muts. Was never a fan of Rosario. Wasn't solid in field and strikes out too much

Small market team can't compete with the big boys. The Indians know they have to develop talent from within. Then sell them at their peak. Seems like a lot of Cy Young pitchers were once Indians.

**Roscoe_Word** · 01-07-21, 05:37 PM

Thanks for the update.

Don't know if Carrasco has any bettin value left in him.

Last season's ROI of -28% I suppose can be improved.

We shall see.

**JMobile** · 01-07-21, 05:56 PM

National League gonna have some rough games.

**jjgold** · 01-07-21, 09:54 PM

We’ve been through this a long time names don’t mean anything in baseball

**cincinnatikid513** · 01-07-21, 09:58 PM

why hasn't trevor bauer been signed yet

this mlb free agency is bs

**Bluehorseshoe** · 01-07-21, 10:17 PM

I think Ahmed Rosario kills it this year. He's gotten pretty good at going opposite field.

The Indians were so close. Oh well, time to start over.

Go Browns...
