That's a hell of a rotation. Weird to see a Rangers team with great pitching and a questionable offense.

Sure, that's a move

I didn’t realize Kluber is 33. $17.5M off the books.

 

Are they going full rebuild and trading Lindor or are they keeping Lindor?

Safe to say they're out on KB, not that the could have put together a particularly good package anyway.

Indians are getting Delino Deshields Jr. and relief prospect Emmanuel Clase.

 

That's.....really underwhelming. I guess it was all about salary relief. Rangers basically got Kluber for Almora and Maples.

I think you're underestimating Clase who is really good, but yes it's a bad return.

He may be overestimating Almora as well.

I wish the cubs got him instead. That would be one nasty rotation.

Eh, he put up worse ERA, FIP and xFIP than Q last year and has been pretty mediocre since June/July of 2018.

I would be pretty excited if he was pitching over Tyler chatwood or Alec mills.

 

This offseason sucks.

I guess. He might just be done too and is owed a lot of money as a 33/34 year old pitcher who just was hurt for most of a season. Mills actually had a lot of better numbers than him last year (K, BB, ERA, FIP, xFIP and both pitched 30-40 innings). I’m not losing sleep over missing out on this one.

 

Of course I’d pick Kluber over those guys to start the year and bank on history, but he also was really recently not very good and worse than the guy we think he’d be a massive upgrade over.

They still need SP and 3B - How about a deal centered around Bote + Chatwood + ???? for Leclerc + ????
