Con te Giolito Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 They really only needed to get healthy to improve dramatically for 2017. It'll be interesting to see what the Tigers and Royals do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con te Giolito Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 There's an option 4th year for $20m, $5m buyout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiks12 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Indians have the division by the balls for the next couple of years. Good for them (but still !@#$ the Indians) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChrisSamsa Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Great move for CLE. If their SPs stay healthy they'll make another run at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 That might help the dominoes fall a bit around the league I hope. Looking at you Fraz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Indians division to lose, no question. The Royals will definitely try to contend, but if they are done by the break, Moustakas, Cain, Hosmer, and every pitcher will be out there.

BlackSox13 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Smart move by the Tribe. They have no competition in the ALC but they have to make sure they stay competitive with Boston, Toronto, Houston and Texas. I'll be shocked if the Tribe aren't ahead of 2nd place by at least 15+ games when the deadline comes up. They should literally walk away from everyone in the ALC in '17.

It's the Indians division to lose, no question. I'm thinking the same thing. I think every team not named Cleveland will be hoping certain players perform well enough to be traded in July. The ALC will look like Walmart on Black Friday. " It's the July 31st American League Central Black Monday Event: Everything Is On Sale Now!" I just hope it doesn't turn into the $5 or less DVD bin.

BlackSox13 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) The Tribe should seriously thank Oakland for jumping into the mix and making the choice much easier for EE. Edited December 23, 2016 by BlackSox13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con te Giolito Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I bet Detroit is better than we expect. Royals too. Agreed. And never rule out a team with two Hall of Famers on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can still get that with the Indians if his optio gets picked up (probably won't though). This deal is a bargain for the Indians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con te Giolito Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 That's pretty much what he got from cleveland with a guaranteed playoff run. He still has $20m less in guaranteed money than he would've staying in Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
