    The Indians will reportedly be shopping Corey Kluber.

    The Yankees sound interested and badly need an ace.

    Carrasco as well. $19 million for Kluber and $7 for Carrasco in 2019. Club option for both in 2020 and 2021. I Would think there would be considerable interest in both.

    MLB Trade Rumors is predicting that Harper and Machado will get 13-14 years deals.

    H@ly shit! Then again, Pujols signed for 10 years at 32 years old (or thereabouts). Machado might be better all-around player, but post season antics didn’t help him. Harper also more of a box office draw.

    I posted some incorrect info, Carrasco around $9 for 2019 w option only for 2020. Carrasco will turn 32 before the season starts, was a little surprised he was that old. I think my preference would be go for Kluber, 2 years at around $40 is pretty decent value.

    Indians' payroll/attendance ranking
    2012 $68.9m/29th
    2013 $89M/28th
    2014 $84m/29th
    2015 $87m/29th
    2016 $118m/28th
    2017 $151m/22nd
    2018 $150m/21st
    In short: Increased spending dramatically; won a lot of games and reached postseason/WS; didn't get much of a bump in attendance.

    Would like to see Brewers make a run at Kluber, they could afford the 2 years, actually perfect for a small market team TV wise (they do well in attendance). Have a feeling Burnes would have to be part of the package going to Indians, don’t know if Brewers will part with him

    Teams talking to the Cleveland Indians say the Indians are much more inclined to trade Trevor Bauer than Corey Kluber or Carlos Carrasco. Bauer has 2 years of club control left, but the only one of the starters with cost uncertainty. He has two arbitration years left before FA.

    The Indians have the best record in the American League since Terry Francona took over as manager before the 2013 season.

    Would be a smart move for the Yanks
