CLE isn’t giving us Kluber without a much better package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way they risk/ed trading him to the Twins or White Sox. Call me totally non-shocked if it will come out next week, though, that they supposedly had a better offer on the table, such as Collins and Adolfo, etc. Edited December 15, 2019 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Once again -- as bad as I think the White Sox are... the Indians organization is twice as bad. This is flat out awful for the Indians fan base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price has negative trade value, if anything the red Sox need to add a prospect or young player (benintendi was suggested by some) and will only get a marginal prospect (40 fv or so) back.

Kicking myself because I can't find it on my timeline now. salaries, options may increase up to $4M each based on finish in 2015-19 Cy Young votes (top 5 finish in 2018 Cy Young vote increased 2019 salary to $17M, 2020 option to $17.5M, 2021 option to $18M) assignment bonus: $1M if traded if traded in 2015-19, new club must exercise or decline both 2020 and 2021 options within 3 days after end of 2019 World Series if traded in 2020, 2021 option converts to a vesting option guaranteed if Kluber has 160 innings pitched in 2020 and is not on the disabled list at the end of the 2020 season https://legacy.baseballprospectus.com/compensation/cots/al-west/texas-rangers/ Kluber gets an additional $1 million since he was traded. Technically, Kluber was traded in 2019 so I’m not sure the fourth bullet point applies. But I didn’t realize his 2020 and 2021 team option salaries increased, as you can see in the first bullet point.

chw42 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I know it would have cost us way more to get Kluber since we're within the division, but what do you guys think it would have taken had we absorbed the whole contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no WHOLE CONTRACT to absorb. If he pitches less than 160 innings this year, their (the Rangers) overall commitment is still under $20 million. He also can't be on the disabled list at the end of the season. It's a win-win either way for the Rangers, because the 2019 version doesn't get the 2021-22 options to kick in, the and the pre-2018 version is worth $25-35 million on the free agent market these days and you're happy to keep him.
