Indians will not give Brantley the QO making him a little more attractive

Your stupidity continues to grow haha. This obsession you have with porn is obvious projection on your part...pretty sad really.

Now please share another trade idea as great as Dee Gordon for Albies, Sale for Jenkins, or Odorizzi for MAdams. We are all eagerly awaiting your brilliant insights!

I just wish there was a better cOF available between Brantley's $40M and Harper's $400M. Someone in the $100M range AA could target.

I fear Brantley won't be enough of an upgrade in LF, and Pollock will be paid more by someone else to play CF. Hopefully a 3-4 win trade candidate like Yelich emerges.

[Southcack77]

Braves really should have figured out a Yelich trade centered around Albies.

[smoltzie29]

I suspect we'll acquire someone nobody's really thought of yet

I still have some slight glimmer of hope that the Twins will decide to sell some this offseason to give us a crack at Eddie Rosario. If not, the best trade candidate really does look like Peralta.

I’d be interested in Kluber or Carrasco

[nsacpi]

Looking at this off-season from the Diamondbacks' perspective I think they would be interested in a deal that involved trading Peralta in exchange for cheap cost-controlled pitching.

Making that kind of trade would allow them to move Greinke (and most of his contract). As an example, they could move Greinke (and most of his contract) to the Brewers for Domingo Santana. He's not as good an outfielder as Peralta, but what that two-step gives them is a lot more financial flexibility. They could use it to pursue an extension with Goldschmidt. Or try to bring back Pollock. Or some other move to improve the team.

I would offer them Newcomb and Wentz for Peralta and Lamb.

I'd be all about Kluber. Omg.

I would have interest in Lindor. But Olney's tweet seems to say they are holding on to Kluber, Lindor and the other players listed. I guess they are listening on everyone else. It is a bit unclear from the wording.

could go after melky maybe

Scott Boras on Marwin Gonzalez, his client and famously versatile free agent, in a phone conversation a moment ago: “I want you to know Marwin has a new name. We’re calling him ‘Swiss G.’ He has a tool for every position on the field.”🇨🇭🇻🇪 @MLBNetwork @MLB

You can count out getting Marwyn on a reasonable deal now.

i do wonder if kipnis would be a fit. idk how his arm is or if he could handle 3B. he's had 2 down years in a row but was sporting a low BABIP both years. turned it around big time the last 2 months of the season and would probably come pretty cheap as far as acquisition cost.

edit: he really just had an awful first 2 months and was solid the rest of the way.

No, I think he is saying Kluber, Encarnacion, Gomes, Carrasco and etc. are available. the placement of the etc doesn't make sense unless you read it that way.

[BeanieAntics]

I have a feeling that an Indians fire sale will count out any hope we had at getting Rosario or any other Twins player. They probably transition into "go for it" mode now.

oh dang, i think you're right.
kluber or carrasco would be crazy pricey.
