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

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

    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

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

    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.

    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.

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